Like many others on here, I am receiving junk mail in my inbox even though my setting is set to exclusive. I have read the suggested fixes but none of them seem to be working.
I started using the "junk" function to get rid of junk mail going into my inbox and since I started using it, the junk mail bypassing the junk folder and going directly into my in box has snowballed - over 2000 messages in 3 days that are junk. What happened
to the filters? I am getting obscene mail, ads for stuff I would never look into!! How do I get it to stop or where can I get help to get it stopped??
The last few days my junk mail has been coming to my inbox even though screening is set to exclusive.
How do I get junk mail to go to junk where it did go and needs to go. PJ
The last few days our Inbox has been receiving emails that we had previously set rules to place into our Junk box. When we try to set a new rule using the sweep function (as we have in the past) the message stays in the InBox and we get the following message:
Sorry, Outlook wasn't able to complete this request. If you keep seeing this message, go to Service status to check if there's a problem with Outlook.
We have looked in the Service status and it states that everything is running normally.
This is getting very frustrating.
I have had my Hotmail (now Outlook account for over 15 years. I have always been impressed with how junk is filtered into the Junk folder.
However, over the past few days I have started getting obvious junk mail directly into my inbox (not the Junk folder).
My junk settings are set to Exclusive, so I should only receive messages from either my contacts or addresses on my safe list into my inbox.
Today for example, I received a message Subject: Are you suitable for laser eye surgery? from *** Email address is removed for privacy *** on behalf of Optical.Express (*** Email address is removed for privacy ***). When I click into message details, it says "This sender is in your contact list". I have checked my
contact list (and my safe senders) and this contact is definitely not in my contacts.
How/why is Outlook now allowing these items into my inbox, is the 'exclusive' junk filter broken, and how to I fix it?
Any help much appreciated.
Why am I getting junk mail in my regular email. This started yesterday, 8/23/13.
For the past week, messages that were automatically sent to "junk" are no longer
being sent there-they are now littering our inbox.
How do we block all this spam/junk from ending up in our inbox?
In the last 48 hours I've increased a sudden influx of junk mail to my inbox, meanwhile normal mail is appearing in my junk folder... What's going on? Can someone please advise? I've never had issues with hotmail but outlook seems prone to trouble. Bring
back the high standards of hotmail please, improvements that increase yr junk mail and screw up your folders aren't enticing me to stay and I've always been a hotmail girl
Help!
My hotmail account is set so that I can only receive mails from people in my contact list in my inbox but since yesterday I have been receiving a lot of junk mail. How can I resolve this problem without closing down my account?
