    @Outlook so you guys broke all the Outlook / hotmail junk-mail blocking. Any word on a fix?

  • bindik Bindi Karia (@bindik) reported

    @Outlook what on earth is happening with your non existent spam filters today/the past while?! It’s a firehouse of spammy emails flying in - you really need to fix this! Be good if you let us know what you’re doing to remedy this?

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

  • DKennerud David Kennerud (@DKennerud) reported

    @Outlook @FalcoNoort Please publicly acknowledge the problem with your junk filter and provide an estimate for when it will be fixed. You cannot continue to pretend it’s not a widespread issue.

  • erin_not_amber ⚾️❤️🤍Erin🧡🖤🏈 (@erin_not_amber) reported

    Apparently @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps is experiencing site wide issues with their #JunkMail filtering process and it’s driving customers bonkers!!! Fix the issue!!!!

  • w00ks1 Floating Point Number (@w00ks1) reported

    @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??

  • dennysieu Siu (@dennysieu) reported

    @Outlook your junk mail filter stopped working. Please fix.

  • KarlaD2026 Karla (@KarlaD2026) reported

  • 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.

  • 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!

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

    @Outlook Please fix the spam filter problem!

  • Chrischzz Chrischzz (@Chrischzz) reported

  • gobears99 matt (@gobears99) reported

    @Outlook Any updates on why the junk mail filter is broken? Getting bombarded by phishing and junk emails today. @MicrosoftHelps

  • 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 😭😬

    @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

  • HotRockCapital JLB (@HotRockCapital) reported

    Hey @Microsoft! You're @Outlook spam filter is broken this morning. I'm getting buried in ****!

  • SarahCathCollin Sarah Collins (@SarahCathCollin) reported

    @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.

  • kbratt1509 kevin bratt (@kbratt1509) reported

    @SarahCathCollin @Outlook Not only that, but the junk folder itself seems to be disabled. I have spent the last hr trying to fix the settings....not my issue....theirs!!

  • archiecoder Sébastien Lachance (@archiecoder) reported

    @andrewclaylong @Outlook Woah I'm surprised that it is also broken. I don't use these settings because I'm too lazy to add each emails there. Yes, it's broken today, see Mary tweet.

  • 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
