What the heck happend to the EXCLUSIVE setting in Outlook - I'm getting Russian **** in my inbox!

Anonymous

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.
