Hi, I had my hotmail account for over 20 years and I never had an issue like this. As of this morning at 4am ALL of my junk emails are going to my inbox. No settings have been amended.
Since I've had this account for many years every 5 minutes I receive a junk in my inbox. Ive searched for a solution online but all I can see is for outlook and not outlook/hotmail 365. I've tried everything at this point, from rules to flagging wit no help. Has anyone experienced the same? Microsoft doesnt seem to have a customer service team to help?
Many thanks

I have also had the same issue. So freaking annoying! Just happened overnight and now I’m deleting emails every 2 minutes..
Hi have the same problem, starting today. I get about 30-50 junk/phishing emails everyday, but now they are going into my inbox.
Even before I have tried everything Windows suggested (blocking and reporting) to stop these emails entering my junk folder, but they continuously change email address so blocking and reporting never works. They all follow the same format, but Outlook filtering is absolute rubbish. Thinking about closing my email I have had for 20 years. How hard is it to block nonsense emails that obviously are fake (for example gnbvgcmib.nwxxm@klwfvt.inertia.systems).
Please sort it out Microsoft I've wasted so much time trying to stop them, but NOTHING works.
Same! Woke up to 158 Junk mail in my Inbox. No changes to filter etc.
Seems to be system wide, but no response or explanation on Twitter or from Microsoft Support. I guess we wait.
Same Issue here, unbelievable amount of junk email coming through all of a sudden.
Thought i was being targeted until I found this thread.
Me too osx home computer and android phone. Just started this am 2/20/23 no new purchases or subscriptions. Literally 50 junk mails in the inbox. Before today maybe 2 per week got through tops. I see many others are also having the issue at the same time. Outlook is saying it's me but I have all the controls, vpn etc. and like I said haven't entered my email on any new sites for months.
