    @Justbeing_Lou_x @K_Lighty @Outlook Keep reporting all the spam and Phishing. It gives me great pleasure to think that I am overloading Microsoft with problems when I report them. Probably over 100 since I woke up.

  • Sax1Rk rk sax1 (@Sax1Rk) reported

    @Outlook Are you going to EVER do stop/slow down the massive amounts of phishing & junk emails??? Before I can put phone down after marking junk/phishing & go back to what I was doing, my phone dings more more of same emails. U may not care but I'll stop using hotmail/outlook.

  • damountie Jacques (@damountie) reported

    @K_Lighty @Outlook I had to delete the inbox from my phone because I was getting spam messages every 2 minutes. Hopefully, they fix it soon! #Outlook

  • Caaitlinn18 Cat Tanner (@Caaitlinn18) reported

    @Outlook how about you release a solution and action steps you’ll be taking to resolve this junk mail issue? I’m a working mother I can’t keep opening my email to 14 “grow harder for longer” in a 5 min time span

  • DtubeYou2 Vuilnisbakijmuiden (@DtubeYou2) reported

    @Outlook @microsoftnl #junkmail can you just solve it instead of asking everyone to send dm for better assist... its very clear the whole world is having the same annoying issue #microsoft #hotmail

  • JaysonPit Jayson Pitkofsky (@JaysonPit) reported

    @Outlook You guys have got to acknowledge this spam issue, when it will be fixed and if you will be searching INBOX to remove them so we don't have to spend all day reporting the ones getting thru. Getting at least 20 every hour or 2 this morning.

  • puentesfabi Fabi An E. Puentes M. (@puentesfabi) reported

    @Outlook Please fix the spam filter problem!

  • how1seeit Maria (@how1seeit) reported

    When you’ve had the same email for 24 years there is no amount of deleting that is going to solve the junk Mail flooding my inbox @Outlook . I’m gonna need you to fix this 😭😬

  • Superfast72 Mark Amies (@Superfast72) reported

    I now get more daft junk phishing emails than I get legitimate emails. @Outlook I have had an email account with you for years now, but if you can't do more to crack down on this, then I'll be looking to close it. I've reported endless emails to you and nothing has changed.

  • Chrischzz Chrischzz (@Chrischzz) reported

    @Outlook how come that as of today, all emails are received in my inbox instead of the spam box? Has there been some issues om your side?

  • sudhib Sudhi Byrapatna (@sudhib) reported

    @Outlook You know you have a problem going on with Junk Mail Filter. Would it be too much to ask you to at least acknowledge there is a problem and someone is working to fix it, instead of the Radio Silence from your end trying to pretend there is no such problem?

  • SarahCathCollin Sarah Collins (@SarahCathCollin) reported

    @kbratt1509 @Outlook Yes, it is their issue. From the news articles I looked, they are reporting it is a random thing. Nope, NO, No way random. Nothing at all is going to the Junk Mail folder.

  • SuperDutyPT SD (Binance.US Angel) 🇺🇸 (@SuperDutyPT) reported

    @Outlook Please fix your email server. Spam bombs happening in people’s inbox.

  • robcarlyle Rob Carlyle (@robcarlyle) reported

    @Outlook when will the spam filter issue be resolved?

  • JoseOssa_dg José Ossa (@JoseOssa_dg) reported

    Good morning, @Outlook I hope you are busy fixing the junk mail issue. This has not been fun for us.

  • dizzymarlcliffe dizzy Marlcliffe (@dizzymarlcliffe) reported

    @CorrinneStanley @AntHam88 @Outlook Same here. Tried going into settings in case I'd accidentally switched off the filter, but there don't seem to be any filter options listed. Please fix this!

  • MrsBrim Deb Brimelow (@MrsBrim) reported

    @Outlook is there a problem with your spam filter? My inbox is full of emails that would usually go into my Junk Folder??

  • robcarlyle Rob Carlyle (@robcarlyle) reported

    @Outlook @marcjacobs88 At what point does Microsoft work on fixing the problem across the board and not treating it as if it’s only happening to a few people

  • BigDudeStew1 BigDudeStew (@BigDudeStew1) reported

    @Outlook getting a ton of spam in my inbox. Fix this already @Microsoft !

  • wxcrawler Lee Crowley (@wxcrawler) reported

    @Outlook Fix your Junk Mail filters, please.
