I have stopped receiving virtually all emails in outlook/hotmail this weekend. There are no rules or blocks or forwards in place in my settings, and the messages are not going to my junk folder. I have tested with several friends - three have sent me messages
today and I've had nothing except two of the many messages one friend sent did come through. I've also not had my usual spam emails! I am able to send messages fine. Please help!
Ever since Outlook took over my hotmail account, I have been getting between 75 and 150 spam emails a day. I am tired of emptying out the spam folder 2 to 3 times a day. Is there anyway these spam emails can be blocked?
I'm currently posting from my sisters account because I do not have access to my hotmail account. It has been blocked and I cannot get into it because spam emails were sent from my inbox. I do not have access to my old alternative email, so I have tried
to verify my email with the questionnaire but the form keeps saying I do not provide enough information. The questions however, require me to have access to my emails. I can't provide answers because my email has been blocked! I don't know where to get help,
and it is urgent because I have very important emails in my inbox. Is there a way for me to get this unblocked?
I am helping a family member with some hotmail issues they are having. We seem to be at a loss as to why they are currently receiving in excess of 100 spam emails per day. This has only occurred since a seemingly random browser crash late last week during
their use of hotmail. When they restarted IE, they were prompted to sign back into their account which is not usual (passwords are usually saved in the browser cookies) and were shown a screen which insisted that they agree to allowing suggested contacts -
this rings alarm bells with me as I cannot imagine MS would insist on this.
So far, we have done the following:
- reset the spam filter to Standard (it was on Exclusive) - this had no effect
- reset the spam filter to Exclusive to attempt a 'forced' resetting back to just safe senders - this had no effect
- manually edited their whole safe senders list, deleting any email that was not currently in their regular contacts - this had no effect
- manually blocked every spam email address (and then blocked them again from the junk folder) - this makes little difference as each new email is subtly different, but it is advised on other posts.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Hi... since 2 days i keep getting spam emails in my inbox. I have made all settings...changed it to exclusive so that only those that i have in my contacts can write to me. The mails i get...when i click on the arrow for addidtional information it says...you
are getting this email be course you have this sender in your contact list...or something like that....???? NEVER EVER....these are crazy things like 500 letters and numbers ....but all ending on .net
I looked through all my contacts 20 time only have my few friends and family. How can they keep coming through especially in my inbox and not at least land in the spamfile?

This is how they look like>: *** Email address is removed for privacy *** für Liberty University (*** Email address is removed for privacy ***)
It doesnt bring anything to block this...5 minutes later a new one is coming with a different sender
To explain the title in further detail, earlier today I was clearing out a couple spam emails from my inbox, and on one of them I accidentally clicked "always showcontent from this sender", or something along those lines.
Annoyingly, I'm now receiving more messages in my inbox, all claiming "This sender is in your contact list" under the additional header info, despite each of the corrisponding emails being from a different address. Of course, I immediately checked my safe senders list and contacts list to see if I could locate anything unusual to remove it, but this was a no-go.
Is there some other method for removal I'm not aware of? Or better yet, why isn't there a button for reblocking senders within the same email?
Some assistance would be appreciated.

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.
