All hotmail / outlook Junk mail coming to inbox ?

Despite these emails still saying they are classed as junk. This has suddenly started today.

I've cleared my cache and deleted all in junk box.

Can't find any settings in junk mail other than safe senders list .

Thanks, Darren

    Hi,

    Same issue as everyone else. This is most definitely a microsoft issue. Only contacts supposed to go to my inbox and getting 50 junk mails an hour. Some engineer must have switched the wrong filter at MS headquarters.

    Please fix

    Thanks

    DaveR

    At least you have a number. I'm stuck at "One of our agents will be with you shortly. Thank you for your patience."

    In my Hotmail/Outlook.com I have it set to receive mail from Contact's only for many years and today it stopped working. Getting nearly 100+ phishing attempts per hour!

    Microsoft at least acknowledge the issue.

    @Sajjad747 your instructions are worthless! The issue is at the "server" end not the webmail client settings. Had you actually read the posts you might understand that.

    Exactly!!! I had that same setting and it stopped working!!! Hundreds of phishing attempts emails today!!

    Please Microsoft, fix this before we all move to Gmail

    Same issue here. I woke up with 44 spam/junk emails in my Inbox. It started a couple of weeks ago with a batch getting through, but this is the most I've ever seen make it through at once. It's beyond frustrating. I've had this email for 20+ years. I'd hate to have to go and change everything if this problem isn't resolved.
