Does MS get paid for delivering junk email? I get hardly any spam (like almost 0 per week) in my Gmail account, but in my Hotmail account, which is as old as my Gmail account (like 25 years), I have at least 50-100 a day, many of which come directly into my Inbox. The junk filter is just a joke as it filters wanted email and does nothing for spam. Is there any solution for this other than to not using hotmail?

On the one hand, I'm glad I'm not the only one, I was starting to get paranoid
On the other hand, I'm not glad that we are going through this nonsense with no way to fix it
Hey Mustafa
I did that and I am still getting a lot of junk mails. I report them as phishing, block the addresses and they keep coming back. It is insane
Over the years I've been having the same issue I'm just going to close the account and open a new account for my laptop only reason keep old account

This problem started this August, i have had hotmail about 20 years :( Nothing helps.
Yes, I've had lots of contact with Microsoft after I complained on X Twitter. They still give all the same bull**** excuses. They say they're working on it but I'm not stupid, everything they say back to me is read from a manual! I truly think they can't fix it. I've learnt how to find who the message source is and been adding them to the 'new rules' set up but the spam finds different email addresses and keep doing it. Very frustrating all round. Microsoft, big famous, flashy tech company and they can't even stop spam. Unbelievable!!!
