Starting a few days ago I have been getting up to 20 obvious junk emails a day in my inbox. Never before has junk email gone to my inbox and I am starting to get very annoyed. I have not entered my email on any websites so i have no idea ehy this has started. I do not want to set my email filter to "Exclusive" since I get multiple emails for work that are not on my contact list. I have set rules and blocked senders and neither of these solutions have helped. I dont have time to sort through all of this junk mail and i would appreciate someone looking into this.

I already set my Junk mail filter to exclusive and yet I am still receiving emails in my Inbox from senders not part of my contact list.

I have had this account for years, and never had an issue until recently. I have rechecked my contact lists and ‘safe senders’ to insure that only persons or groups I know are able to reach my inbox. However, obvious junk is still being sent there, for example I just received an email from @s9z.pqex3n.5ixy.net which is not even a valid domain…
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

As of yesterday junk emails have suddenly started appearing in my inbox despite the filter set to exclusive. Having looked at the emails they all claim to have been sent on behalf of someone else and all state they are in my contact list. Having checked my contact list thoroughly, my safe senders list, safe mailing list etc. none of them are on that list. Given that my inbox emails appear on my phone this is exceptionally annoying. Given that I currently have a live subscription to what was Hotmail plus I am rather annoyed that this has suddenly started happening. Going by other posts people have made this is something that has recently started happening to other people as well, most of them yesterday indicating that something is wrong your end. Please get this sorted and do not advise, as you have others, to create rules or block phrases as they are all random junk.
I cannot move an email from one msn.com inbox to another msn.com inbox in outlook 2013 but I can in outlook 2007???
I keep getting junk mail delivered to my inbox even though my filter is set to exclusive. This started about two days ago. The senders sometimes have hotmail.com or msn.com but not always. I didn't change any settings on my account and I believe that I'm not the only one with this problem. I already went through my approved senders list and deleted any unwanted ones. However, for each address I block, 10 new ones will be created. Please fix this bug promptly because I don't want penis enlargement or **** ads in my inbox. I understand that I have to keep checking my junk folder for any emails I want and have had no problem doing this frequently. Thanks.

Today I have started to receive spam into my Outlook.com Inbox even though my Outlook.com inbox setting is set to Exclusive.  This hasnt happened ever until now.  Is anyone else having this issue?

 

As of today, I am suddenly receiving floods of junk mail delivered to my inbox.  Last week I was unable to log on for two days while problems with site were resolved. This week, I'm getting advertisements delivered to my inbox.  Is this a result of the merge with Outlook? My hotmail account used to be so reliable.
I have spam from *** Email address is removed for privacy *** getting through my exclusive filter. The mail has the 'Show Content' and 'Mark as Safe' links like when you see something in the Junk mail folder but is erroneously in the Inbox. I've confirmed that the email address isn't in the safe senders or safe mailing lists so I don't know why it's getting through. I've even selected the 'Junk' and 'Block Sender and Delete Contact' option several times and still they get into my Inbox. This started this morning and I've had 4 break through the spam filter so far.
Over the last week I have been getting an increasing amount of 'junk' emails (mainly PPI related) into my inbox, however my junk filter is set to exclusive. So it should go into my junk folder.

I am marking them as junk and sweeping them too.

Could my account have been hacked?
Is there another reason how junk email is slipping through the net?
How do I stop junk coming into my inbox?
How can I tell if my account has been hacked?

Many thanks in advance.
This keeps happening, and I usually catch it and move them again to my inbox. However, today I moved about 6 messages - they no longer appeared in the junk folder, so I then emptied the junk folder. About an hour later, I checked my inbox and the messages aren't there. They are also not in any of my other folders, nor are they in the Deleted folder or the Junk folder. I need to reference one of these emails and it seems to be gone. How can I get it back? Thanks.
