I recently put my old Hotmail account on my phone, which I traditionally only checked a few times a year. I went from 1-2 spam emails every few months to several a day, after going through all the old ones and marking them as spam. How is this possible? I haven’t given this email out in years, and none of my monitoring services have flagged this email recently. It seems spammers somehow know this email is active again.

Dead emails would have a bounce back message from the domain.
They also don’t much care if the email is ‘active’ these things are run by bots and defending out billions of emails blindly.
