This is the WORST spam filtering of any of my email programs.

I am constantly getting junk in my inbox and important emails are sent to spam.

Even my upcoming vacation flight emails from delta airlines and other businesses. This is causing havoc and stress I don't need!

What are my options? Increase spam filtering and send more important emails to junk?

Lessen spam filtering and get more junk in my inbox????

    I also block the @domain.com part of nearly every spam email in my hotmail and it takes me 15-20 minutes daily to do so and report them to MS every time as SPAM. There is never any improvement. I get from 20-100 spam emails daily and the qty seems to be slowly growing.

    The only thing I can assume is that the free hotmail is intended to piss you off and pay for outlook.com service so MS can make money, also I suspect they sell user lists to spammers to get money from their free hotmail customers and slowly drive us all mad.

    I do have the g-mail and several other domain emails and none of them have even 1% of the spam my hotmail account sees daily. And most of my emails are also pay for accounts with o365 so they can do it. They just wont. Cause you're not worth their time and effort, cause you're 'free'.
