    @Outlook What's up with your spam filter? I'm getting loads of blatant spam in my inbox, and yet messages I actually want are being randomly thrown into junk. I also generally get around 30 to 50 emails in my junk every day. Something's not working...

    @Gerri89226228 @philofthemoore @Outlook Nope I'm sorry I don't know all I know is the calender app is the problem with Android.

  • thatmattwiens Matt Wiens (@thatmattwiens) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps For @outlook : Are junk filters down or did an update change how filters work? My settings were exclusive so only mail from contacts/safe list addresses would go to inbox. Now I can't even find that option and my inbox is full of spam. Seems I'm not alone.

  • Jack0_P Jacko 💛💙 (@Jack0_P) reported

    Will you acknowledge there is an issue with your spam and junk filters any time soon @Outlook ? How many people may potentially be compromised whilst you bury your head in the sand? #Outlook #SPAM #junkmail

  • LopoTony Anthony Lopo (@LopoTony) reported

    @bdsams Yep, having the same issue. Started yesterday. Still getting spam in spam folder along with the inbox. @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps

  • singstaen Aasmund S (@singstaen) reported

    What has happened to Hotmail today? All my regular junk mail ends up in my inbox. @Outlook in some kind of trouble? I have not changed any settings on my side and I see others are reporting the same issue...

  • benvdnberg Ben van den Berg (@benvdnberg) reported

    @Outlook Your spam filter is broken since last night. Getting tons of spam in my normal inbox and I’m not the only one so it seems

  • DesertSolstice Sarcastigirl 🐀 (@DesertSolstice) reported

    Hi @Outlook is there any ETA on fixing the junk mail issue? My inbox has been inundated with spam all day.

  • intutivereading Psychic Franziska (@intutivereading) reported

    @Outlook @Outlook your spam filter is broken. All the spanm is in my inbox. It's on the news too so lots of people are affected

  • ShahzadDAhmad Shahzad Ahmad (@ShahzadDAhmad) reported

    Appears it wasn't just me that was having issues with my personal MS Outlook email and its lack of spam filter today. Seems to be fixed now, but I would've expected a notification or apology of some sort. @Outlook @Microsoft

  • RichieK14 RichieK (@RichieK14) reported

    @Outlook When will the spam filter issues be resolved?

  • MikeSmith0902 Mike Smith (@MikeSmith0902) reported

    @Outlook if you're getting many complaints about the spam filter not working on the Android App it's because Google have changed the spam filter on the Calender App and it's affecting Outlook. Advise people to uninstall the updates to Calender and that seems to solve the problem.

  • madeleine241 Madeleine Smith (@madeleine241) reported

    @emma644 @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook Harrison and I have had the same problem today! x

  • BigHeadTales Bighead Tales (@BigHeadTales) reported

    88 junk and phishing emails made it past @Microsoft @Outlook's spam filters on one account this morning. But, yes, I'm sure your advice to block domains like 06382b3786d587f8de2970545d115f3c - . -com will stop the problem.
