Just started getting Russian women and male body part emails in my inbox.  I used to have exclusive setting checked.  Where in the heck did that go???  I see that in 2013 lots of people had issues with unwanted spam in their inboxes.  They were told to set exclusive settting.  I really wish Microsoft would quit pushing me to go to gmail!

    I tried that also but it didn’t work. I have never gotten so much spam in my inbox until yesterday.

    I have as well. Started on Jan 17th, 2020. never had this problem before. it is driving me crazy because my email is buzzing every 5 min!  

    It seems like they have a script that constantly changes the domain name of the sender which means you cannot block them on your list.

    noticed alot of them have the red balloon emoji. i tried using that to block them but it wont let me....

    Would reporting every email as phishing do any good. Had enough. Nothing worksl
