  @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!

  Woah! The amount of spam my junk folder has is ridiculous, it's almost like @Outlook can't solve the problem 🙄

  @Outlook When are you going to fix the spam issue??? Sick and tired of being bombarded with junk/phishing emails all day!!!

  Randy Fingleton (@rfinglet) reported 19 minutes ago

  @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 over the last few weeks, I’ve started getting a very very large amount of spam mail, is this a known issue or is there something I need to do? Could someone DM me to discuss?

  @Outlook @Microsoft the spam filtering in outlook .com seems to no longer work. what has caused all the spam email to land in my inbox & what are you doing to fix it? the spam filtering used to be ok until recently

  @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 Thank you, @TwitterSupport please take note, this is how you respond to customer issues. Still waiting for a resolution to a locked account, 8 days now 🙁

  Solo (@quibz120) reported 31 minutes ago

  @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??

• 
  Forrest Lee (@flee01) reported 33 minutes ago

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

• 
  Stewart Meakin (@stewart_meakin) reported 33 minutes ago

  @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.

  Bighead Tales (@BigHeadTales) reported 36 minutes ago

  @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.

  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 - Can you help? All emails I send today are bouncing back as being rejected by the recipients server….

  @remybergsma @LodgeDigital @Outlook The issue seems to have been resolved here this morning. Hope the same goes for you as well?

  @Outlook The spam filter is not working, just when I thought the issue was finally fixed

• 
  Kip OnMSFT (@kipkniskern) reported 50 minutes ago

  @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?

  Jenny Colgan (@jennycolgan) reported 52 minutes ago

  @RaisahAhmed i know. well at least I'm not alone. @Outlook PLEASE fix your spam filters, it's absolutely bogus.

  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
