Alright @Outlook, you’ve been asleep at the wheel for months fixing the spam/junk/phishing emails in the inbox issue, but today I woke up to EIGHTEEN phishing emails in my inbox. I won 9 contests, can get 6 different pills to improve life, & have 3 options to upgrade security

@Outlook What in the heck is happening with your so-called "spam filter"? The sheer amount of spam emails going straight to my inbox is really annoying the heck out of me now. Fix it please! Or find a way to abolish the spam completely!

@Outlook @CorrinneStanley Instead of asking people to send DM’s why don’t you fix the issue? My account is practically unusable due to the amount of junk that is now being delivered and I know I’m not the only one given your community pages. BTW, telling people it’s their ‘settings’ is also not helpful.

@Outlook I'm not sure what's going on but I'm suddenly getting an overwhelming number of junk mail coming into my inbox. None of them are going into my junk mail folder - it's literally empty! All my filters, rules etc are on but not working.

Hey @Outlook, you had cause me to go into notification hell this morning. All the email in my Junk Mail folder is now going to my Inbox. It is bypassing my Safe Sender list, which has been set up for years. Please fix so I can turn back on my notifications for Outlook.

@Outlook when is the spam issue going to be fixed, my inbox is wild. Don’t request a DM, I have already tried and the messages are not sending to you. Thanks I also think a wider acknowledgment would be helpful with a wider plan to fix as this seems like a holistic issue. thx

@Outlook @CorrinneStanley This happened a few weeks ago, seemed to correct itself, now is happening again. Not sure DM’s help since it seems to be a global issue.
