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.

    I continue to have the same problem. Approximately 20 e-mails per day are missed by Hotmail's spam filtering system. Each time I report the e-mail as phasing, but it seems to have 0 effect.

    Unfiltered spam e-mails increase every day, even though I am very responsible with reporting them as phasing e-mails.

    Microsoft, what is happening? @admin

    So it seems I am not the only one suffering from the sudden increase in spam! Whilst MS was quite successful in filtering spam out over the last years, they fail hard in the last few months!

    Any view on an improvement please?

    Had this issue for months, MS doesn't care and won't do anything to solve it, their products are of poor quality, bugs and glitches everywhere, I hate my company using their products... the solution is to switch to Gmail or any other provider.

    Mine's worse and worse and nothing fixes it! I reported phishing and junk a million times; supposedly only safe mail gets in, but none of these are on my short list of safe sites.

    I hate it. I'm considering changing email, but after over 20 years, it's extremely inconvenient!
