Great. I think your blocking and junk mail rules for #Outlook are broken, again, #Microsoft. Got three obvious spam mail appearing in my main Inbox and not in the Junk folder. Maybe you shouldn't have fired so many people that could fix this. @Microsoft @Outlook

@Outlook is there a problem? I've always set up my mail so that only whitelisted domains get into my Inbox, everything else is sent to spam. This morning, I get spam in my inbox from domains that are not whitelisted, what is going on?

Time to migrate away from @Outlook. Being bombarded with junk when I'm trying to work is worse than a service outage.

My @Outlook suddenly started throwing every incoming email in my normal INBOX. I didn’t change anything. Anybody else with the same issue? I had a strict filter setting of allowing only registered email addresses into my Inbox. @CNET is this common?

@Outlook @MicrosoftHelps Please fix your spam filter. Multiple people have reported and you said engineers were aware and working on it 5 days ago. Reporting isn’t helping and the report and block function isn’t available in the email anymore.

@MicrosoftHelps What’s going on with @Outlook at the moment? All the rubbish that normally goes in my Junk Mail folder is landing in my Inbox. And it’s not just me, other people I know are having the same problem. For heaven’s sake sort it out!
