@SarahCathCollin @Outlook It may not be a coincidence that it happened on a U.S. holiday. @Outlook may have had a planned update that broke. Over the years I have noticed Outlook issues on holidays. For all we know, it could be a hack.

@Outlook Your spam filter is broken. I'm getting continuous spam in my inbox. This has been going on for a couple of days. Please fix it. I don't want to have to open an account with a different provider but this is getting ridiculous.

Why hasn't @Outlook commented on its broken spam filters? Knowing that they're working toward a resolution would put a lot of users at ease.

@marcd86 @Outlook @marcjacobs88 Exactly! Why do these companies never be transparent about the problem and post that they are working on it. Why constantly ask people to do a task instead if admit there is a problem??
