morbital 🇺🇦 (@morbital) reported@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!

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.
