  • EliasXX19 EliasXX (@EliasXX19) reported

    @Outlook Did something go wrong with outlook? I'm getting a huge amount of junk mail in my inbox for days now instead of the junk mail folder. It's extremely irritating to have 30 junk mail littering inbox. How have you not solved this issue after so many years?

  • wakalados Whitexicana prieta (@wakalados) reported

    Jesus effing Christ @Outlook what a ******* mess you have. Fix it, we are in 2023 not in 1995. The service sucks like a hobo's underwear!! #OutlookSpam

  • LHalupkie LilHalupkie 🐀 ☮️🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 (@LHalupkie) reported

    @Cthulhuhoop @Outlook I’m having the same problem!

  • tq_dan Dan B (@tq_dan) reported

    @Outlook @CorrinneStanley Instead of asking people to send DM’s why don’t you fix the issue? My account is practically unusable due to the amount of junk that is now being delivered and I know I’m not the only one given your community pages. BTW, telling people it’s their ‘settings’ is also not helpful.

  • e_mendz Edmundo Mendiola (@e_mendz) reported

    @zacbowden Getting the same. I reported in Feedback. Started this year, but seems to get worse everyday. @Microsoft @Outlook needs to look in to it quick. It makes the service feel broken and unsafe.

  • TerryKav TerryKav (@TerryKav) reported

    @Outlook all my junk mail started showing up in my inbox today. Looks like a bunch of people have the same problem. Fix this Microsoft.

  • marcd86 arsenal86 (@marcd86) reported

    @Outlook @marcjacobs88 This isn't a one off. Where is the pinned post acknowledging there is an issue and what you are doing to address it rather than going to individuals asking them to DM?

  • Samus2008 Matt “Samus2008” (@Samus2008) reported

    @Outlook Your spam filters are busted. Getting constant spam emails, please fix this.

  • tominus46 TH (@tominus46) reported

    @Outlook what happened over night, spam/junk messages coming straight into my inbox. Been fine for years. Fix it

  • Twaid93 Tyler Waid (@Twaid93) reported

    @SarahCathCollin @Outlook I had to search on Twitter to see if anyone else is having the same issue, and it looks like I'm not the only one. Hopefully they fix this soon before I permanently delete my account.

  • lmctruck1972 Ry Man (@lmctruck1972) reported

    @Outlook just admit to the spam filter outrage and tell how long until a fix stop deflecting to prove messages

  • theIngleSmarts Stu (@theIngleSmarts) reported

    @marcjacobs88 @Outlook This issue is being reported on several websites now. TheVerge, 9to5, iNews. Thousands of users affected

  • runtmancleaves Anthony Cleaves (@runtmancleaves) reported

    @marcjacobs88 @Outlook Definitely a wide spread issue, I came here to say the same thing. Spam filter is definitely not working.

  • Meltome Miss Mary (@Meltome) reported

    Is there a fix @Outlook or at least a comment to the spam issue please. I can only junk/report so many before doing this becomes my full time job. #hotmail

  • evillamaria Edward N. Villamaria (@evillamaria) reported

    @Outlook Why not put out a statement ACKNOWLEDGING this widespread Junk Mail issue instead of having 1000's of customers "DM" the support teams??

  • NilaNadesh Nila Nadesh (@NilaNadesh) reported

    @Outlook please kindly help me sort out the junk mail coming into Inbox problem, which started since this morning. My phone hasn't stopped pinging with notification. Would really appriciate your help. I have DM you too.

  • McSweeney27 Sophie McSweeney (@McSweeney27) reported

    @Outlook when is the spam issue going to be fixed, my inbox is wild. Don’t request a DM, I have already tried and the messages are not sending to you. Thanks I also think a wider acknowledgment would be helpful with a wider plan to fix as this seems like a holistic issue. thx

  • catire98 Luis Carlos Diaz (@catire98) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook - Junk filters on Outlook are not working correctly and letting emails not on my address book or safe senders list into my inbox.

  • Memofcorp CorporateMemo (@Memofcorp) reported

    @Outlook can you fix your spam filter. I woke up to 50+ complete junk this morning. This never use to happen

  • joehouston09 Joe Houston (@joehouston09) reported

    @Outlook PLEASE fix where all junk mail is going into my inbox. NOTHING is going into junk mail folder!

  • charlie_simon Charlie Simon (@charlie_simon) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook The Junk Mail filter has stopped working. Emails that until last night used to go into Junk are now streaming into my Inbox. Please fix!

  • Gothloretta 𝕲𝖔𝖙𝖍𝖑𝖔𝖗𝖊𝖙𝖙𝖆 🇺🇦 (@Gothloretta) reported

    @Outlook @MrColeyToYou Instead of asking thousands to DM, tweet to all of us what the issue is.

  • courtam3 Courtney A. McKenzie 🙅🏾‍♀️ (@courtam3) reported

    Hey @Outlook the junk mail feature IS NOT WORKING. Fix this it’s bad enough that I receive far to much junk mail but for you not to have an essential feature - WORKING CONSTANTLY for a better experience is insane.

  • Gothloretta 𝕲𝖔𝖙𝖍𝖑𝖔𝖗𝖊𝖙𝖙𝖆 🇺🇦 (@Gothloretta) reported

    @Outlook @marcjacobs88 Not being funny but this is a problem for many on here today, instead of answering individually….how a about a tweet to the masses of why this is happening.

  • IngEdwinP Edwin Pérez (@IngEdwinP) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook your #hotmail #spamfilters are not working today. And it seems to be global the issue. What have you done?

  • loretta5ue Loretta5ue (@loretta5ue) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps @SuggWillSugg Maybe it's time to announce it as a known issue @Outlook seems like it might be trending hete

  • MalcolmLangley Malcolm Langley (@MalcolmLangley) reported

    @Outlook come on outlook, junk mail is coming into the inbox not junk folder, please can you look into this issue and fix it. Thanks

  • sebubba98 Sebastian Medina (@sebubba98) reported

    @marcjacobs88 @Outlook @Outlook wanted to add to the pile of users saying our spam filters are seemingly broken or being bypassed this morning

  • erin_not_amber ⚾️❤️🤍Erin🧡🖤🏈 (@erin_not_amber) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook why are all of the sudden all my junk e-mail ending up in my inbox when I didn’t change any of my settings?? And when I try to fix it, nothing seems to work? Fix the junk mail filter!!

  • TerryKav TerryKav (@TerryKav) reported

    @rev_neil @Outlook Looks like a bunch of people are having this issue. Just started for me today 2/20/23
