Junk Emails Suddenly going to Inbox Feb 2023

Anonymous

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

Hi,

The same thing happened to me this morning.

There are many replies to this post advocating different solutions, the common thread saying it's a Microsoft system problem.

Have you received a solution to the problem, e.g. is it fixed for you now.

Thanks in anticipation of a response.

Yes, the same thing happened to me this morning, 20 emails came to my inbox. I have my filters set to allow only emails from addresses in my contact list.

What manner of witchcraft did you have to employ to actually contact them? All avenues I attempted lead to logic loops.
