spam from <preview@***> where the *** part changes each time

I don’t think where we are located matters much. I live in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and have not been traveling abroad when this whole thing started happening.

It is insane how annoying this has been. I too felt so relieved when the preview spam emails stopped, only to discover that I am again receiving those same spam emails but now from email addresses that begin differently (same subject of the emails as before though).

Frequency and the number of these is by far most annoying thing. Sometimes they come within 5-10 of each other.

It’s infuriating that so many of us are dealing with the same issue and Microsoft is not doing a single thing to address it!!

I have been using my hotmail account for almost 15 years, but I am beginning to question if I will need to start using my secondary gmail account and link all my subscriptions to it instead. -.-

No real purpose my comment, just had to let it all out 😀

Hi all. I have not replied for quite a while because it was so exciting when the unwanted emails problem appeared to be resolved, and then such a letdown when just a short week or so later it all started back up again. It has been interesting and somehow supportive to read all of your comments, knowing that so many people are being affected by this. I think I’m going to set an end date that maybe a month from now that if Microsoft doesn’t fix this, I will go to the headache of changing to a different email provider. Ugh.

Here is a very unhelpful "How to get support for Outlook.com" page: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/how-to-get-support-for-outlook-com-f5482a98-616c-4d44-b7c5-8aaaadf5c11a

There must be a way to contact a support engineer, no?

I'm sorry that some people here are finding that the emails have started up again. I'm happy to report no such issues, other than an occasional stray, my junk/spam filter is empty and the spam has stopped altogether. Something good changed and cheers to Microsoft for addressing it, assuming they did so. I'm in the US (California) if that matters.

I had a few ‘empty’ days and then they started up gradually earlier this week and now increasing daily -72 today. I am in U.K.
