-
ReaktorField (@reaktor_field) reportedGreat. 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
-
Alex Kenji (@ALX_KEN) reportedMy @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?
-
Remy Bergsma (@remybergsma) reportedLooks like @Outlook.com's spam filters are not working correctly anymore. Plenty of gambling and other clear spam emails landing directly in inbox. Anyone else noticed this?
-
Kathryn (@KathrynOttway) reportedAnyone 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
-

Caitlin Carey (@caitlinecarey) reported from Westfield, Western Australia@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
-
Caitlin Carey (@caitlinecarey) reported from Westfield, Western Australia@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

-
Trixie Beresford 💙 (@victoria_a_mc) reported@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.
