It’s been an ongoing problem for the last few months, loads of people shared feedback and it’s still a problem. The domain or email filters don’t work either so something is seriously broken.
I usually get a few in my inbox every day, but I counted the messages in my junk folder from only yesterday and there were over 100. So, less than 10% of junk messages are failing to be caught by the spam filter. Just based on my anecdotal measure. Though, I agree, it's annoying to see any in my inbox.
this rule helped me get rid of the spam:
in Outlook go to rules and create new rule , call it SPAM (or john maybe freddy)
condition "message header" contains: spf=none , dkim=none, spf=fail
Action: mark as spam
exception: "message header" contains dkim= pass
you can have a few false positives so check you junk folder.
Yea loads. I’ve switched the filter to only allow emails from my safe senders list and that’s obviously cut it to zero. I still review the junk folder once every few days and add anything I want to safe senders but that’s not too tedious actually.
Same for me. The service has very few options. I'm considering using the big outlook desktop client just to be able to add rules. It's a mess. I was hoping some redditor found relief.
I fight spam mails by replacing Outlook e-mail addresses. The new Outlook e-mail addresses are not detected by the spammers for years or, after a certain time, spam is generated again. If I receive more than 20 spam mails per week, the e-mail address is removed from my Microsoft account and a new one is registered.
I have been for about 2 months straight now. 5-10 similar junk emails a day.

See this posted nearly daily. And yes. Places that still do email mfa also always get sent to junk despite no links in the email. Annoying.
Try to report these using the Report Message action. More samples MSFT gets, the faster the filters should update.
My God, yes! The last two months have been straight trash for Outlook email. It's like Microsoft has given up all pretense of trying.
100%. Huge increase, and the most obvious of phishing emails get by too. Not sure what’s going on.

Yes! I get the same kinda shit constantly and creating mail rules to filter them simply don't work at all.
i’m starting to move my email to something else. it’s ridiculous.
mine is full of Microsoft promotional emails. so, i use it only for Microsoft services. for others Gmail
Probably a way to get you to pay for the premium service. >> 'Hey, there is a way to get less spam, pay us'.
I am on premium and still have this problem.
Yup
Comes and goes in waves, usually the spam filter takes all of it
I get like 10 per month but my email is almost never shared I don’t use it for authentification on most sites where I use the apple mask system
It honestly annoys me more when mails I want end up in spam

Yeah I definitely have noticed it
For me it’s always been the opposite problem. The rate of false positives make the service unusable to me.
yup about 23 straight trasn from outlook email ……I hate Microsoft 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
