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!

    This doesn't seem to work anymore.  I tried the block setting but still getting tons of junk email even though I already block them.  Hope there will be a fix soon.  Thank you.
