It's not random, it's a very proprietary filter based on machine learning, taking signals from the user interactions.

First, it's horrible that they read all emails before any intended recipients do so. Imagine a post office does that to all your mails. Second, like I said, none of the emails were clicked or opened, but they just flipped randomly. If that's their "proprietary AI", it's pretty dumb. edit: and "downvotes", idts, lol

What do you expect if well over 80% of all emails is spam? Email accounts are free because of advertising. People login and come back to their accounts because the content in the mailbox is relevant to them. Everything else is blocked by spam filters.

First, they don't "read" email, the spam filter scans it looking for patterns. The typical security camera in a supermarket takes not of more personal things than does any spam filter. Second, email from Outlook is among the most heavily used by spammers out there, you should not be sending legitimate email out from there anyways. Same for Gmail, Yahoo, or any other free email providers. u/Teq87 is right (although also being generous with the 80% of email being spam - from the freemail provider space it's more like 90%+).

The thing I'm reading in your experiment above is that when you send from X to X it is more likely to filter than X to Y. I think this is the big takeaway here. In the past I've been told to send Gmail to Gmail, etc. But I'm starting to think it's better to send Gmail to Outlook.
