    @Outlook even though my settings state to only allow senders from my safe senders to end up in my inbox I'm getting 100s of junk mail items right now to my inbox instead of going to junk. Why is outlook soooooo broken? Why do I pay for this junk? Use that Bing AI to filter junk!

  • pensacolacomps Pensacola Computers (@pensacolacomps) reported

    @Outlook What does it take to get some help here?! You never responded to my original message over a month ago, and I’m still not getting an answer from you now. This spam situation is ridiculous. Fix it, please!

    @Outlook Has the hotmail spam filter broken? Everything seems to be making into my inbox over the past couple of days... nothing is being filtered.

  • kirsty_m_m Kirsty M (@kirsty_m_m) reported

    @LooseBall00n @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook I’m having the same issues. No matter how much I block and delete I’m getting so many per day. Please sort it out Microsoft or I’ll have to delete my email account and move elsewhere.

  • carnage_sb Scotty Cormack (@carnage_sb) reported

    @JacClinch @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps Unfortunately not, been marking all junk emails as spam, hasn’t slowed it down yet

  • JoffCallaghan Joff Callaghan (@JoffCallaghan) reported

    It appears that the junk mail filter on @Outlook has stopped working. Which is fun. Maybe they can get whoever trained that AI to have feelings to come over and fix it. Or just have the AI fix it (I didn't read the articles about it ngl, it could actually be alive for all I know)

  • morbital morbital 🇺🇦 (@morbital) reported

    @FalcoNoort @microsoftnl @Outlook Me too, it's completely broken. I have strict filters and they're being ignored.

  • JodyC1978 Jody C (@JodyC1978) reported

    @Outlook so today all the emails that usually go to my junk, and are in fact junk, are going to my inbox and it's making my phone go off every few minutes with new junk emails being delivered to the inbox. Just started last night. How can I fix this?

  • MarcusvdZijde Mark van der Zijde (@MarcusvdZijde) reported
