  • Bfaincochran Rebecca Cochran (@Bfaincochran) reported

    @beesnothoney @SeanC159 @Outlook I moved to Gmail last year. No issues with spam & junk which is all Outlook is now. Need to delete Outlook but occasionally get email from friends who do not use new gmail address.

  • Hiiliketrees Scalene LG_X (@Hiiliketrees) reported

    @JamesHGuitar @Outlook I’m not having an issue :(

  • photoheathen Mark ◣ ◢ (@photoheathen) reported

    @Outlook fix your spam/junk filter

  • keeshiinoyami Keeshii no Yami (@keeshiinoyami) reported

    @Outlook Your spam filters are broken. Junk mail isn't going to junk. At first, I thought it was the still broken app notifications that alert me to junk emails sometimes, only to find all this spam in my inbox.

  • AdeolaO_ Adeola (@AdeolaO_) reported

    @Outlook, will this junk email issue get sorted soon. It’s driving me a bit crazy.

  • _LoneWolf_ Paul (@_LoneWolf_) reported

    @Outlook Any chance you can get that spam filter working properly? I've had more junkmail in my Inbox today than in the past 20 years. #hotmail is not my main email but if everyone else is having this issue that's a lot of spam.

  • tarotdon Tarotdon Tarot (@tarotdon) reported

    @Outlook @Microsoft 172 JUNK emails in my inbox and counting…can’t function…adjusting settings does nothing; the problem is your end

  • kaysee68 Kaysee (@kaysee68) reported

    Hey! @Outlook @Microsoft my email main box is receiving traffic that is obviously #spam #phishing emails. They are not going into the spam folder. You might want to have a look at that. And, I don’t want to hear “well, you just have to hit the unsubscribe button!” Not working!

  • naty_bull Naty (@naty_bull) reported

  • CarolSt66022289 Carol Steele (@CarolSt66022289) reported

    @Outlook When are you going to release a statement regarding the issues with Spam/junk coming into people inboxes? Today alone I've had over 40 junk emails in 4 hours something needs to be done😡

    @Outlook Just like happening to millions of Outlook mail account holders, I, too, am experiencing spam mails clogging up my Hotmail Inbox. Please fix this issue asap. Was your sever hacked or something? If so then don’t you have to disclose this information?

    Do you think if we spam the @Outlook team with enough messages about the spam filter problem they’ll actually fix it? It’s been broken for a few days but is particularly bad today, plus several attempts to hijack my account (unsuccessfully)
