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?

Hey Mark, if you have a Twitter account, get on it and start complaining. It's the biggest platform to get Microsoft attention. I already know they have no idea how to fix it but we have to put it out there and keep doing it. Maybe they'll get advice then from Google, who has no spam on Gmail. Microsoft a big let down.
Same problem here. Got only worse during the last year and Microsoft ain't changing anything. I've used my dear Hotmail address since 2007 but decided to change to Gmail now. Bye-bye Hotmail! You lost a client today.

The problem is getting very bad on my Hotmail/MSN accounts. It's always been bad, but the last few months have been dreadful. On my Gmail account very minor and on my isp account nothing.
i think it would be best for Microsoft to close these accounts down and get the public start with new.
The only trouble with that is you won't be to keep your username, as it flags up that username has already been taken if you try to change your account. Even if you try to use your username on a new Gmail account, you can't for the same reason
Yep, very bad for many. The last 3 days I've been getting so many in my inbox, not even going into the spam box. I'd really like to know **** is going on. I never get spam in my Gmail at all. I've went on X - Twitter & made my annoyance very public and the wanted me to message them direct. I did and they virtually admitted they do nothing and can't help me. I'm really angry, it's time consuming to report or block the damn things.
