    Spam has been coming into my account and the spam filter is clearly not working. How can I prevent it from occurring in the first place? I move it to Junk but it just shows up again and again.

  2. Outlook Live (Hotmail) SPAM filtering

    Good morning fireberd. I have also experienced this junkmail anomaly a couple of times with hotmail, years ago. I too keep my junk mail settings to extreme and only approved senders arrive at my inbox normally.

    As I recall, I tried resetting the filter level to resolve the issue without any success. The condition magically fixed itself over time, I suspect a microsoft glitch has created this condition.

    I keep my hotmail pinned on a tab, check it often and haven't experienced any junkmail issues in recent times. Cheers,

    Michael


    Rules are not working – Got an idea?


    It would appear that you're not the only hotmail user suffering from spam filter failure. I located many current complaints such as these;

  3. Hotmail SmartScreen filters

    Hello,



    The smart screen filter is showing people on my safe list and my mailbox folder to be suspicious, why is this?



    Then obvious spam is allow through.



    I see I am not the only one, why it is when something works that hotmail messes it up?



    I could understand if good people were hard to hire and retain, but with the current economy I cannot understand.
