Hey @Outlook can you please fix your junk mail filters. I’ve been getting tons of junk in my inbox the last few hours.

Anyone else having issues with the junk filter on @outlook not working? Every now and then the filter to only deliver to my inbox from known senders seems to switch off leaving me inundated with spam

@Hadok184 @Andrew24276927 @Outlook It’s horrendous and even though loads of people are raising it they aren’t doing a thing to fix it

@Outlook @MicrosoftHelps Please fix your spam filter. Multiple people have reported and you said engineers were aware and working on it 5 days ago. Reporting isn’t helping and the report and block function isn’t available in the email anymore.

@Outlook seems there is a problem and I’m not the only one affected-my junk mail is now appearing in my inbox…how come?

My @Outlook suddenly started throwing every incoming email in my normal INBOX. I didn’t change anything. Anybody else with the same issue? I had a strict filter setting of allowing only registered email addresses into my Inbox. @CNET is this common?

@Outlook is there a problem? I've always set up my mail so that only whitelisted domains get into my Inbox, everything else is sent to spam. This morning, I get spam in my inbox from domains that are not whitelisted, what is going on?

@Outlook @paul_w_gibson Honestly don’t bother DMing them, they offer nothing but to tell you to report or block spam but it doesn’t stop it coming in. No commitment from them to do anything about the problem

@Outlook @whatusaymark Don’t bother DMing them, they offered me no help except to say to block or report - no commitment from them to fix what must be fixable because Google manage it much better!

@Outlook @MrColeyToYou Don’t bother - I DMd them about this and all they could say was to block and report - been doing this for months and it has done nothing - no onus or responsibility on them to actually fix it themselves

@MicrosoftUK @Outlook Yep. Watched first 10 minutes of the first ever episode of #Brookside with my 14yo and it was so slow. Made me realise that's why 2023 is so stressful.

Great. I think your blocking and junk mail rules for #Outlook are broken, again, #Microsoft. Got three obvious spam mail appearing in my main Inbox and not in the Junk folder. Maybe you shouldn't have fired so many people that could fix this. @Microsoft @Outlook

@MicrosoftUK @Outlook I've had my hotmail address since 1999, but you RUINED Hotmail when you turned it into Outlook!! It sucks now! Slow to load, too many bells-and-whistles, trying to be like Gmail - I hate it now. It worked fine when it was Hotmail.

.@Outlook someone want to fix whatever BS is going on where all of the junk mail I get sent is ending up in my inbox? Infuriating.

@Outlook is the hotmail junk mail filter down. Receiving junk mail in my inbox all of a sudden and my inbox is set to exclusive so all mail goes to junk unless on my safe list.

@caitlinecarey @Outlook @apurvnagpal It’s becoming a huge issue. Something is clearly wrong with their filtering system because everyone is complaining about it
