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

    How do we know that Microsoft is not doing this intentionally to overload a user's allowance and force them towards buying storage? From Feb 2023 many users have been told they don't have enough storage, at exactly the same time they started to be bombarded with junk mail. These large corporations are not the slightest bit interested in you, they don't even know who you are, they only in large profits. I talk from experience.

    I've had my account since 1996. To me the 'coincidence' of being swamped by junk (Feb 2023) and at exactly the same time (Feb 2023) being told we don't have enough storage, by a company that is only interested in large profits, is no coincidence at all. I'm surprised everyone hasn't noticed this.

    I don't use One Drive for storage, so I've got plenty of space. That'll learn 'em... 😂

    I'm forwarding all the junk and the very occasional inbox phishing to Microsoft and I've created rules. It's not perfect, but definitely better than it was.

    Hi Sophie

    Well done. I've just emailed my concern to the CEO of Microsoft UK, if it doesn't bounce back. I will be interested to see if I get a reply.

    Looks to me pretty much like Microsoft doesn't want free Hotmail accounts (I've had mine since 1996), so maybe they try to pressurise users into payment by the back door. I don't know what the status is of changing a free a/c, which has been signed up to on that basis, to a pay one, is. Let's hope they are not blinded by the dollar. Like you I don't use the Cloud, since in my view it is unlikely to be secure. Good luck, best wishes, Jonathan.

    I have had my hotmail account for the same length of time, it certainly does sound like they're trying to get rid of the Hotmail accounts.

    I did exactly the same thing - re contacting the CEO, which is how I have an address that allows me to email the one contact, rather than being responded to by a different contact every time.

    Hope it goes well for you.
