  • lightsup55 Timothy Leucht (@lightsup55) reported

    Microsoft @Outlook is broken. Junk mail filtering is not working for me and many, many, many others. New junk mail just goes straight to my inbox without being subjected to any type of filtering. Obvious spam too, like messages from [CompanyName] being sent from [OtherName].

  • Superfast72 Mark Amies (@Superfast72) reported

    I now get more daft junk phishing emails than I get legitimate emails. @Outlook I have had an email account with you for years now, but if you can't do more to crack down on this, then I'll be looking to close it. I've reported endless emails to you and nothing has changed.

  • RoswellAntiX DantiX C (@RoswellAntiX) reported

    @Outlook My ******@msn.com junk email filter stopped working today. All email is going directly into the inbox. Please fix problem.

  • dinhxuanvu Vu Dinh (@dinhxuanvu) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps Someone please fixes the completely broken email spam filter that hasn't been working for months now. Today is the day when junk emails are ALL welcome in my inbox. Do I need to pay spam filter @Outlook now?

  • spfarrelltweets Shawn (@spfarrelltweets) reported

    Anyone else who's still holding onto their Hotmail account (since 1997, baby), noticing an overwhelming amount of spam making it through to your inbox lately? What's up @Outlook? Is something broken?

  • peter196 Peter (@peter196) reported

    @Outlook Junk mail filter not working!!!

  • alexhughes921 alex hughes (@alexhughes921) reported

    Is @Outlook being paid by scammers or something? 8 phishing emails today went straight into my inbox. Why does my Gmail not have this problem? Outlook just doesn't seem to be able to keep their customers safe. #scammers #outlook

  • Hotsocksblkbot Garbage Pail Fail (@Hotsocksblkbot) reported

    @Outlook Fix your app. Since the update three days ago, all my junk mail is now going straight to my inbox.

  • houman_ag Houman (@houman_ag) reported

    @Outlook I know you've got enough crap from people today so you'd think I'd cut you slack but I won't. You deserve the crap because of how terrible your spam filtering is. Today I actually had to double check my folder to confirm if I was really looking at inbox #email #spam

  • AbuLarine AbuLarine | أبو لارين (@AbuLarine) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook I noticed a few hours ago that my #hotmail account got crazy and sent most of the incoming junk to my inbox! Is this a known issue?

  • wxcrawler Lee Crowley (@wxcrawler) reported

  • angie_seattle angie_seattle 🦑✍️ (@angie_seattle) reported

    Junk filter @Outlook seems broken today. More crap making it’s way into my inbox. Junk is bad enough already. Wonder who twitter has exposed e-mail to?

  • sudhib Sudhi Byrapatna (@sudhib) reported

    @Outlook You know you have a problem going on with Junk Mail Filter. Would it be too much to ask you to at least acknowledge there is a problem and someone is working to fix it, instead of the Radio Silence from your end trying to pretend there is no such problem?

  • Beter_Barker_ Who am I? I'm (@Beter_Barker_) reported

    @Outlook PLEASE FIX THIS SPAM EMAIL PROBLEM YOU GUYS HAVE. IM BLOCKING ALMOST 30 SENDERS A DAY, EVERY WEEK. WHAT THE HELL?
