Microsoft’s Outlook spam email filters are broken for many

[vtqhtr413]

Microsoft’s Outlook spam filters appear to be broken for many users today. I woke up to more than 20 junk messages in my Focused Inbox in Outlook this morning, and spam emails have kept breaking through on an hourly basis today. Many Outlook users in Europe have also spotted the same thing, with some heading to Twitter to complain about waking up to an inbox full of spam messages. If you’re also getting inundated with spam right now, it might be worth temporarily disabling notifications for any email app on your phone that’s connected to your Outlook personal account. That will stop your phone waking up constantly to show you a notification about a spam email you definitely don’t care about. We’ve reached out to Microsoft to comment on the Outlook spam issues and we’ll update you accordingly once the company is able to respond.

Can confirm this I was surprised when I found out that my "Mounthly" Prime renewal failed!

Update: Microsoft sent messages on Twitter to some users around 5:30 pm Eastern time, stating the Outlook spam issue " has been resolved." It did not state the reason for the original error.

Many users reported that the spam filters in Microsoft Outlook were not working earlier today. However, Microsoft has now sent Twitter message to some users saying the issue has been fixed.
