  • BigHeadTales Bighead Tales (@BigHeadTales) reported

    88 junk and phishing emails made it past @Microsoft @Outlook's spam filters on one account this morning. But, yes, I'm sure your advice to block domains like 06382b3786d587f8de2970545d115f3c - . -com will stop the problem.

  • thorn_kerry Kerry Thorn (@thorn_kerry) reported

    @Outlook All my junk mail is landing in my inbox, please fix your filters.

  • SamDoRob Sam (@SamDoRob) reported

    @Outlook I think your spam filter is broken. I’ve started getting a lot of spam into my inbox and it’s been getting progressively worse over the last 3 weeks. Currently getting around 10 spam emails an hour since this morning.

  • MikeSmith0902 Mike Smith (@MikeSmith0902) reported

    @Gerri89226228 @philofthemoore @Outlook Nope I'm sorry I don't know all I know is the calender app is the problem with Android.

  • MikeSmith0902 Mike Smith (@MikeSmith0902) reported

    @Outlook if you're getting many complaints about the spam filter not working on the Android App it's because Google have changed the spam filter on the Calender App and it's affecting Outlook. Advise people to uninstall the updates to Calender and that seems to solve the problem.

    This is ROUND FOUR of TODAY'S HOTMAIL JUNK !!!! My junk settings have always been very good, nothing changed on my end. FIX THIS **** PLEASE @Outlook !!!

  • greg1986 Greg-B (@greg1986) reported

    @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps just read through your tweets and replies. 100’s if not 1000’s of people all messaging the same issue and your response is to ask us to DM? It’s clearly a wider issue. Your spam filters aren’t blocking a single email. Please sort it!

  • HareBrainedIdea Rachael Hare (@HareBrainedIdea) reported

    @Outlook You must realise your spam filters are down. An acknowledgment would be good eg ‘Dear Customer, We are aware there is an issue with our spam filters. We are working hard to resolve this. Meanwhile please accept our apologies.’ Permission to copy & paste #spam #outlook

  • thetroseshow Thomas Rose 🍵🌹 (@thetroseshow) reported

    @Microsoft @Windows @Outlook are you aware of this issue? Any remedy?

  • ComTekMan Carl Fandidango (@ComTekMan) reported

    @Outlook also getting loads of spam in my Inbox from today. Also my wife has the same issue. Nothing has changed our end?

  • ag3nt_cha0s 💀🧛🏻‍♀️🫀🕷⚰️ (@ag3nt_cha0s) reported

    I don’t usually @ companies but @Outlook you guys know about the junk mail issue right? This is going to make me lose my freakin mind. The junk mail filter isn’t working. Don’t let the ***** pill ads win!!

  • Aqua_Fag 🧜🏾‍♀️🏳️‍🌈 (@Aqua_Fag) reported

    @Outlook are you junk mail filters down or something?

  • Beautiful_Lees Leesa (@Beautiful_Lees) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook Do you guys have a time frame on when this issue will be fixed ? 🙄😭

  • BonariusJochem Jochem Bonarius (@BonariusJochem) reported

    @Outlook please give updates on the spam filter issue via public Tweets. Don't use DM, everybody wants to know this.

  • KTCarguy Keith Turner (@KTCarguy) reported

    Hey @Outlook why is my Inbox getting flooded with Junk email? I’ve been a loyal #Hotmail user since ‘97 and this is the first time I’ve had this issue. It’s ridiculous! Please fix this!

  • greg1986 Greg-B (@greg1986) reported

    @Outlook just read through your tweets and replies. 100’s if not 1000’s of people all messaging the same issue and your response is to ask us to DM? It’s clearly a wider issue. Just get it sorted.

    @Outlook is spam filter not working?

  • benvdnberg Ben van den Berg (@benvdnberg) reported

    @Outlook Your spam filter is broken since last night. Getting tons of spam in my normal inbox and I’m not the only one so it seems

  • thatmattwiens Matt Wiens (@thatmattwiens) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps For @outlook : Are junk filters down or did an update change how filters work? My settings were exclusive so only mail from contacts/safe list addresses would go to inbox. Now I can't even find that option and my inbox is full of spam. Seems I'm not alone.

  • ProgRockfangirl Teresa (@ProgRockfangirl) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook The spam filter is broken, tons of junk emails going into my inbox which is set to exclusive.

  • greyXstar Most Okayist Matt (@greyXstar) reported

    Hey @Outlook fix your spam filtering. This is unusable

  • rgell1 Rachel (@rgell1) reported

    Still use my hotmail account but the @Outlook spam filter not working is doing my head in! I’m a zero notification girlie so having to bulk dump heaps of spam is not fun! #spamfilter #noidontrustyourdodgyemail

  • CorrinneCurtis Corrinne Curtis (@CorrinneCurtis) reported

    @Outlook What's up with your spam filter? I'm getting loads of blatant spam in my inbox, and yet messages I actually want are being randomly thrown into junk. I also generally get around 30 to 50 emails in my junk every day. Something's not working...

  • allykkid Alastair Knight (@allykkid) reported

    @Outlook I am also receiving junk in my inbox. What do we need to do to fix

  • richardkirke Richard Kirke (@richardkirke) reported

    Dear @Outlook 9 spam message in the last couple of hours and it has been like this all day. Please fix this!

  • deyoaj Deyo - 데여 (@deyoaj) reported

    @Dr_Dreps @Microsoft @Outlook This it may be a technical issue. They will resolve it hopefully. But its a US holiday so that may mean a slower resolution time than normal

  • singstaen Aasmund S (@singstaen) reported

    What has happened to Hotmail today? All my regular junk mail ends up in my inbox. @Outlook in some kind of trouble? I have not changed any settings on my side and I see others are reporting the same issue...

  • DesertSolstice Sarcastigirl 🐀 (@DesertSolstice) reported

    Hi @Outlook is there any ETA on fixing the junk mail issue? My inbox has been inundated with spam all day.

  • Jack0_P Jacko 💛💙 (@Jack0_P) reported

    Will you acknowledge there is an issue with your spam and junk filters any time soon @Outlook ? How many people may potentially be compromised whilst you bury your head in the sand? #Outlook #SPAM #junkmail

  • Phil_Huy Phil Huy (@Phil_Huy) reported

    @Outlook what the literal hell is happening with your spam filters. Fix the problem. Fix the exploit. Hundreds of spam and junk mail flooding I into Inbox. Happing to everyone in my family and all my friends.
