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

@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.

@Outlook @peter196 So what does this mean "the issue has been resolved?" Are we back to the normal unacceptable level of spam we've seen in the past two months? .... or has the spam issue actually been resolved?

@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.

@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

@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.

@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.

@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.
