  • spfarrelltweets Shawn (@spfarrelltweets) reported

    Why hasn't @Outlook commented on its broken spam filters? Knowing that they're working toward a resolution would put a lot of users at ease.

  • drummermoe Melisa Oporto (Hey, get the vaccine 💉) (@drummermoe) reported

    If I couldn't hate the @Outlook mobile app anymore, sometime overnight while I slept ALL of my incoming junk mail started delivering to my main inbox. And I can't find any setting to fix it.

  • waiting4dog mikelikes (@waiting4dog) reported

    @Outlook Your spam filter is broken. I'm getting continuous spam in my inbox. This has been going on for a couple of days. Please fix it. I don't want to have to open an account with a different provider but this is getting ridiculous.

  • Alexis4215 Kiminem (@Alexis4215) reported

    Been googling for a hour to why @Outlook is spamming me. Fix it. So annoying.

  • RosieMakar Rosie (@RosieMakar) reported

    @Outlook for months I've had issues with junk mail in my inbox. Before it was great. I hardly, if ever, saw junk in it. I woke up to 40 junk messages in my inbox. It's been bad for me for months, but never this bad. Ugh

    @Outlook Please, please, PLEASE 🙏 fix your spam filter! I have an assignment due and I keep getting distracted by ping, ping, PING! Spam, spam, SPAM! #spam #hotmail #junk

    Its like my hotmail/outlook junk filter is broken. All the emails that are obviously spam and used to go straigh to junk are showing up in my inbox. @Microsoft @Outlook whats going on?

  • Dr_Dreps Stuart (@Dr_Dreps) reported

    @deyoaj @Microsoft @Outlook Very much worse TODAY! Time to shut down this Hotmail account and switch to GMAIL.

  • lindakellner Linda (@lindakellner) reported

    @Outlook what happened to the exclusive inbox? I can see everyone seems to be having these issues, all spam coming into inboxes!

  • donna_g8585 PartyLikeIt'sJan202021 (@donna_g8585) reported

    @SarahCathCollin @Outlook It may not be a coincidence that it happened on a U.S. holiday. @Outlook may have had a planned update that broke. Over the years I have noticed Outlook issues on holidays. For all we know, it could be a hack.

  • FPLaugur FPL Augur (@FPLaugur) reported

    @Outlook what’s going on with your spam filter? I have the tightest spam settings and have done for years. Today I’m receiving loads. Will you acknowledge there is a problem and commit to fixing it?

  • icantbelievit59 #Texas#Strong (@icantbelievit59) reported

    @Outlook needs to fix the spam filter, it's all going into my inbox! UGH
