Spam is the only thing I get from any outlook addresses.

Precisely - Here is the support thread which started in August highlighting Spam going from 20-30 a day to 200 or more a day - which I too experienced.

Massive increase in junk emails

Hi - I still have an old hotmail account that I use on outlook.com. In the last few weeks I've gone from receiving about 10 junk emails a day (into my junk folder) to about 50 a day (still into my junk folder)! I always go through and block every single email that is definitely junk, so why am I suddenly getting so many?? I keep seeing the same subject lines in there too, it's getting really frustrating having to go through them and check for emails that aren't junk, and then blocking the rest - if I don't look for a few days I might have nearly 200, which is insane!! Please help! Emma
