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!

Same here, I am being overrun by spam on my Inbox, mainly from address: XXX��@vertical-aff.com
What am i supposed to do? Merely blocking the domain @vertical-aff.com does not do anything.
Please help!

2020-01-19T23:44:10+00:00 Hi,
I am hotmail user almost 25 years. I cant live without this account.
I have been getting 600 - 800 emails to my junk mails everyday.
I have been trying to stop those mails various ways, but no success so far.
In the last 2 days, it become even worst, about 200+ of them getting into my 'Inbox' directly. I did not change any rule or block settings. This made my life so miserable. Clicking one by one junk email from inbox to delete takes too much of time and leave frustration. Please help.
