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 am experiencing the same issues. I just updated this setting and hope it helps. 10 new spam messages came into my inbox as I was making this update.

    I am going to move any and all uses of this email to something else and work to close this email account. This is ridiculous. The number of spam emails has increased exponentially over the past few months and now they are dumping directly into my inbox? What a complete nuisance.

    Hi Claudia,

    It's in Outlook.com's settings: Settings (gear icon) > View all Outlook settings > Junk email - at the very bottom.

    https://outlook.live.com/mail/0/options/mail/ju...

    IT. DOESN'T. WORK. ANY. MORE.

    Many people are posting on their facebook page. hopefully they will listen
