Spam filter in hotmail not working.

Everyday I am getting the same couple of pieces of spam email in my hotmail inbox, spam that usually goes to my spam/junk mail box. While most of the spam mail still goes to right box, these couple get through to my inbox. Several months ago all my spam went to my inbox for 4-5 days, maybe 3-350 spam mails a day in my inbox. At the time I noticed many others complaining of the same problem. Microsoft (or someone) was able to stop it last time. I hope someone can stop it this time before all my spam ends up in my inbox. I should add that I use an iPad, not a laptop or computer.

    Here it is Oct 2023, and the past week my Block button is no longer working, and I'm getting spam into my Hotmail email a few times a day. I use Outlook which came with my copy of Microsoft Office 2021.

    I used to hit block and it would sent the message to delete. Now, it just sits there. Is there a fix I can download?

    Att blockera avsändare av spam fungerar INTE i Outlook!!

    Hur länge ska detta pågå?!!!

    Hundratal idiotiska skräpmeddelande VARJE DAG skymmer de verkligt viktiga!!

    Thanks for the input. Its not what im seeing. I get Spam as in Spam/phising mails 15-30 a day.

    I do have a subscription section but nothing out of the ordinary there.

    I thought this was just me! I've had my hotmail account for years but have lately noticed that the blocked sender option isn't even an option most of the time anymore and it's driving me crazy.

    The only advise I can find is to type the email addresses into the junk part of settings but how long will this take and I've also noticed that I can't get the full email address on my laptop so that's that answer out.

    Microsoft you really need to sort this out!!
