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!

Wow . Lots of great input pretty much all the same . I didn't want to use the hack word but i saw that come up so can that be an issue? This same email thing happened to me before - a year or 2 ago. At some point MS fixed the issue .its about time they start playing with their blocks! I agree this email tool is totally unusable .
I'm going to Gmail and my work e-mail only. THis is unbelievable. Hotmail was already on the decline and they have just rendered their service UNUSABLE
FYI This did NOT work. Why the HELL Would they take the Exclusive filter setting away? Are they being paid by the spam bots?
I did go and check those boxes but I am still being spammed. I created a dozen new rules but it doesn't help. This is ****
I just posted on their Facebook page. Just a suggestion. Thousands are having the issue with junk going into their inbox.
AS of yesterday all junk is coming into my email. Outlook must stop all emails with the domain vertical-aff.com. At my wits end. Hundreds in a day pouring into my inbox. This has never happened. Needs to be fixed or I will just us another email service. So frustrated. All my settings are correct.
