Junk Emails Suddenly going to Inbox Feb 2023

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 thought the problem was fixed for me but it seems to be coming back one junk email at a time. In the last hour I've had 2 junk emails come to my inbox. One was a fake CVS email and just now one that showed its sender as Crate&Barrel_Confirmation. When I hover my cursor on the sender name the email address shows as 2 letters followed by 7 numbers. It was a Gmail address. I better not get anymore junk emails in the inbox today or this will not be my last post.

    hi All,

    I'm having the same problem: it started a couple of months ago. I've had this account for yen years and never had this problem.

    Can't find any solution for now. It's quite annoying

    Since applying the following rules/filters to junk mail I have not received any more junk in my Inbox

    It does mean that I have to check my junk mail box for emails that do not fulfill the requirements below, are safe and should have gone to my Inbox.
