Outlook issues

[RockStarNinja]

For some reason my app for outlook is getting a ton of spam mail and I'm having 2 problems. I can't mark anything as spam in the app. But I also can't access my mail through the outlook website directly to mark it as spam through there either. When I log in to the outlook .com site nothing loads, it says I have no mail to load. The spam wouldn't concern me so much, bec I know all email get spam, but I have 3 accounts linked to the account and when I check them manually, the messages in the app is not there on the direct sites. So I don't know how I'm getting messages through the app but not through the servers themselves. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi! Here's what Leo has to say about this issue. https://askleo.com/why-am-i-suddenly-getting-spam-in-my-inbox/
My advise is to change email servers. When searching for your issue, it seems there are a lot of outlook users having your problem.
May be time to change your email server. I'm sure other WC members will reply latter. IMHO, there's a good chance that you have been hacked.
I like to see all WC members get a reply, and This is the best I can do for you!:wink:

Thanks for the info. I tried a few things and one that seemed to help was I went to my individual email servers and checked the settings for sending messages to the 3rd party app (outlook mail) one of them had a setting to choose which messages got set, all, all minus ones that are flagged junk, and only from people in my contacts. That setting definitely cut down on a lot of the messages. I am still getting some of the odd ones in my mail app that aren't in my individual servers, but only 4-5 at a time instead of the 30-40. Hopefully that will help someone else out whos having the same problem.
