@Outlook Hey is there any way you can implement a function on the Android version of Outlook to block entire domains? Since I find most spam comes from domains I could care less about, being able to easily block entire domains in the app would instantly cut down on huge spam!

Gave up. Please get better and easy things to solve. These are just ridiculous! Even though I checked the right ones,it showed error and asked to try again. Nobody should be spending this much of time on things like this only to create an email account! @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook

@Outlook Not sure how you fixed? The whole mail platform? My email box? I didn’t give you my email address. Just trying to work out what you fixed/how and what was wrong? I’ve had this issue for roughly 120 months. But could of been longer.

@Outlook I appreciate that, but the issue was occurring for weeks prior. It just became outrageous today. Typically, I have to clean out 20 spam from my inbox minimum every day. Only on one account.

@bdsams This issue has escalated for me within the past month. Even my custom created rules in @Outlook are not catching spam coming from the same email address *geeksquad as if this functionality is not working within the application.

@JimDavisMTG @Outlook Part-2, an up-tick means a couple things. Your email is for sale on a bulk address list. List recently got cheaper. Also, when u open an email, click, or scroll down. Marketing apps can track that activity. And what it tells them is that the email address is real.l and active.

@Avodovnik @Outlook Every hour. It's the Authenticator app that causes the issue, I think. I'm now using the outlook web app instead. It only requires me to sign in once per day. Sigh...

@maryjofoley @madthinus Looking at the @Outlook Twitter feed, they acknowledged the problem and said it’s been addressed. Like you, I’ve been suffering from a deluge of junk mail for the last month. Now it appears to have subsided.

@JimDavisMTG @Outlook Had same issue yesterday, apparently junk filters failed on a large scale at hotmail. Their is some speculation they got hacked.

if @Outlook don’t sort out their ****** email server soon then I will be using someone else. I’m sick and tired now of blocking senders on my junk box only for the same senders to re-appear a day later but in my inbox. once you block them they should stay blocked #Outlook

@Outlook apparently your spam issue is fixed? But I’m still getting spams/phishing emails daily around 6 today already. When will this actually be resolved??

(@dunnry) reported
@Outlook It's kinda frustrating to DM you to say that it is still happening, only to have you reply it was fixed. It's better for sure, but not fixed at all. I now only get 10 clear phishing attacks per day instead of the 10+ per hour. That's better, but still terrible.
