Putting this out there for whatever good it does.

#Email #Spam folders are a problem because they contain a mix of emails that are clearly spoofed and faked based on #SPF and #DKIM failures, along with others that maybe might, perhaps, be spam based on HTML content, language, whatever. We train people to expect Spam folders are usually wrong. But emails that fail SPF and DKIM should be taken seriously!

Email providers. Why not deal with this by either providing 2 SPAM folders or else showing emails that land in the spam folder because of the #DMARC p=quarantine policy, in red, bold letters, and with a "!!" flag, so people know to be extra cautious?

And when opened, give notices like the sending server is not authorized to send email for the sender or the from address is not authorized to be sent by the sending server.

Why not?

@Jerry@hear-me.social Agreed, I also want a more obvious display of "spamminess", the folder contains everything from 5.1 status to the max.
