    Hey @outlook your junk mail filter is seriously broken.

  • voicebrain özgür kılıc (@voicebrain) reported

    @VinceCallum @Microsoft365 @Outlook I can solve my own problem without the need for them. The problem is the company needs to re-examine the security issue.

  • kre8ivelady August P (@kre8ivelady) reported

    @Njopling1 @mcnees @Outlook I've had this same issue with hotmail as well.

  • Kudupa Karthik Udupa ¦¦ ಕಾರ್ತಿಕ್ ಉಡುಪ 🇮🇳🇺🇸 (@Kudupa) reported

    @zacbowden I just want @Outlook & @Microsoft to fix their spam filters. It's becoming unbearable.

  • LokoCrazyJr CowbowSavy (@LokoCrazyJr) reported

    I don’t understand why @Microsoft can’t fix their @Outlook from all these scammers man! C’mon! Enough is enough!

  • way0utwest way0utwest 🎙️ (He/Him/His) (@way0utwest) reported

    @Outlook How can you still be using IE for adding accounts in the O365 version? Aren't you updating regularly and fixing issues? No reason I shouldn't be able to add IMAP Gmail because of JS

  • agturcz Agnieszka R. Turczyńska (@agturcz) reported

    I remember the struggle and disappointment of the Open Source community when @Microsoft has introduced TNEF to their @Outlook suite years ago. And they are still using it causing problems when you want to forward an email to someone who refuses to be vendor locked-in.

  • laurashleyy TiffanyBeatz (@laurashleyy) reported

    I swear @Outlook is the WORST and don't actually help with any issues

  • RahulDu10219926 Rahul Dubey (@RahulDu10219926) reported

    @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps Kindly consider re-instating in-mail swipe feature back on Outlook mobile app, its terrible to do back and forth to open next email :(

  • brendabudinich brenda budinich (@brendabudinich) reported

    @Outlook please fix your service 😩😩😩😩😩😩

  • historycat historycat (@historycat) reported

    If @Outlook can't fix the recently broken spam filter, then it may be finally time to retire my 26 year old hotmail email account.

  • e_odeo Ed (@e_odeo) reported

    @Android @SamsungMobileKE what is the issue with double or triple notification of a new @Outlook email on Android even after swiping the notification out, but on iOS it is okay.

  • Khaembanic7 Nicodemus K. Wafula (@Khaembanic7) reported

    @TechFkl @Outlook Was your problem solved? Sorry for coming late

  • doylebob Bob D 🇺🇸✝️ (@doylebob) reported

    Hello @Outlook you need to update/fix your spam/junk filters. Many this week are getting into my Inbox. Wow... I'm hearing it from others too. I keep marking each as junk...

  • DarrellPrichard Darrell Prichard (@DarrellPrichard) reported

    @doylebob @Outlook It’s TERRIBLE! And these aren’t subtle phishing/junk mail messages. How they’re getting through to the inbox is baffling to me. (I have a Premium Hotmail account.)

  • spod1000 Spook1000 (@spod1000) reported

    We have been blocked by @Outlook and are finding it near impossible to get off block list. We have deleted the offending account and taken all measures to correct the problem. @Microsoft still refuses to help us. 😡

  • hearthisuk Hear This (@hearthisuk) reported

    Morning @Outlook :) Appreciate the service, but my email input has significantly fallen short over the last month. Is there a bug in your system please? Never seemed to have this issue with 123Reg. Please assist. Thanks for all your help in advance.

  • DavidTones5 David Tones (@DavidTones5) reported

    @MicrosoftUK @Outlook in the last 2 days I have noticed a massive increase in spam appearing in my hotmail inbox? Has your filter broken? Any recommendations?

  • NotFromOff . (@NotFromOff) reported

    @Outlook < Suddenly a single "Ad" is showing up as incoming mail, always at the top, always from a different source, no matter how many times I delete them or attempt to block them. I am beginning to think I need to redirect my mail server to a different source.> Your response?

  • WalidSoneidar Walid Al-Soneidar د. وليد السنيدار (@WalidSoneidar) reported

    Dear @Outlook, why do you keep telling me the *New* Outlook for Mac is here? I don't want it. And I don't want to keep switching back to the *old* look! If it ain't broken don't fix it. Old is Gold!

  • caitlinecarey Caitlin Carey (@caitlinecarey) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @ItsSpeltWithAC @Outlook I’ve been having this issue for a week or so now, dozens of spam every day - I DM’d @Outlook and they did nothing! Emails from trusted sources go to junk but clear phishing emails make it through - sick of it!
