Microsoft Outlook has problems with spam filters

Many users of Microsoft's email service have begun to report that spam filters have stopped working.

The problem is widespread and affects users from different regions.

If you are also inundated with spam right now, perhapsIt's worth temporarily disabling notifications for any email app on your phone connected to your personal Outlook account. This will prevent your phone from constantly waking up to show you spam notifications that you are definitely not interested in.

The Verge has reached out to Microsoft for an official comment.
