Spam messages duplicating in inbox

All of a sudden this week when I sign on in the morning the messages that are in my spam folder and are also showing up in my inbox. This of course also happens when the messages are downloaded to my Outlook 2016 account. I have not changed any settings. What can I do to stop this duplication? Spam needs to stay in spam folder.

Good Morning, and thank you for reaching out to our Xfinity community for assistance! I can most certainly understand wanting the spam folder to keep its emails to itself! Of course, there's a reason those particular emails are in there I'm sure! (Can be quite the nuissance!)
I know you'd mentioned that nothing you'd not changed any of the spam settings, but we do want to just be sure that everything shows that spam filtering is enabled!
I've included a link below that will provide guidance on how to check the particular settings from our platform!

Can you please take a peek and ensure that everything appears as it should be, and let us know!

@XfinityChelseaA​ Thanks for responding. I just checked and the auto spam filter is turned on. Yesterday and today I had a few spam messages but they did not duplicate in the inbox like they have for a while. Maybe there was a glitch and it corrected itself. Fingers crossed. Spam is bad enough but I sure don't want to see in two places.....lol.

Yep it seems no matter what we do with ordering stuff these days we get deluged with emails and even when you block the address and/or try to unsubscribe it continues. I never click to sign up for newsletters or other stuff from vendors but yet.......! I am on my email constantly so will keep an eye on it and if it happens again I will reach out. Thanks so much!!!

Have you had anymore troubles with your email, or has all continued to work well since we last spoke?

I hear ya there! I purchased a gift for my fiancee around the holidays, and the company I purchased from had a zillion emails in my inbox shortly thereafter! I of course marked it as SPAM but I tell ya...phew! Ha-ha!
Well, I'm glad to see that the messages received today seemed to route accordingly, and that the settings are all correct. With that said, would you like to monitor it for a couple of days here to make sure it doesn't happen again? We can reach out and check in with you!
