Just started getting Russian women and male body part emails in my inbox. I used to have exclusive setting checked. Where in the heck did that go??? I see that in 2013 lots of people had issues with unwanted spam in their inboxes. They were told to set exclusive settting. I really wish Microsoft would quit pushing me to go to gmail!

I am getting slammed now with spam in my inbox! Ive made no setting changes . Yes some is going into junk but hardly everything . Very frustrating . Feels like an invasion .
We already have witnessed how that goes around here. Take a look in the forums. Take a look at the complaints. I've been asking for help from "support" for months now and yet, to no avail, I'm still having the same issue a year and a half later.
I'm getting more and more spam in my inbox a day.
I've blocked, I've reported as phishing, I've ticked off the safe sender box. Nothing has worked.
No one at Microsoft cares!
Go figure, they blocked another one of my accounts.
Guess what? I'm not going away!
I'm not sure I'd call it isolated because that implies that its rare.... but it does seem the filters fail overnight (at least in the Eastern Time zone) every few weeks.
Hi Claudia,
It's in Outlook.com's settings: Settings (gear icon) > View all Outlook settings > Junk email - at the very bottom.
Same thing started happening to me yesterday. And now today my inbox is full of spam. I get hundreds of spam items every day, which is terrible to begin with, but they all went into junk. If this migration into my inbox continues I'll have to open another email account which will be a MAJOR headache.
