Spam in hotmail account 2022

Yeah it's nuts. The craziest part is I pay for office 365... makes me feel like an idiot when I can literally use Google and not get a single spam but the incompetence with Microsoft is top notch regardless of how much you pay them but it's always been that way. It's so insane to imagine how much **** I have to change to migrate from my email at this point but this is seriously getting old. I wish they would just call google and ask them how to design a spam filter that works. All of the addresses and subjects are ridiculous.... you would think any decent filter could detect and filter. Microsoft support tells you to change filter settings to more aggressive but I don't see any settings other than blocking people I don't know which is useless. How many paid subscriptions does Microsoft have that this is acceptable for any duration? Crazy

I have the same issue and have tried to find a solution, about ready to dump hotmail after 25 years.

I ask again, when is Microsoft going to fix this?

The problem died down for a while, but in the past few days it's back.

I have also been having this issue on and off for a year now. I didn't see any spam messages for a few months and now, this week, I have nearly 100 a day.

I've stopped using hotmail for important communication long ago, but it's still aggravating to go in and find nothing but spam in my inbox and not in the spam box.

Broken link.......like others I've noticed a huge uptick in spam since the middle of last year, from it being rare to dozens per day, mostly going straight to my inbox.

I can't block them (I've tried since the summer), as they come from different emails every time, even occasionally from my own email address!
