My Outlook inbox is suddenly getting a ton of spam and I don't know how to stop it

Last week, my personal Outlook email started getting ~50 spam emails per day. I barely ever use this email address, so I am not sure how or why this began to happen. How can I stop all of this spam from getting to my inbox?

I have been flagging all of the emails as spam, but it doesn't seem to be stopping the influx of emails I am getting.

    Same here, I had this email acount for over 20 years and never experienced this. Below, is a copy of what I wrote here 2 days ago.

    UPDATE/FYI: I wrote here months ago when I started having the issue. It got a little better, then it got even worse.

    **I had done everythng that was suggested in junk mail settings, but it didn't seem to help and I pretty much already had settings set properly.

    MY ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED FOR about 2-3 months now. I want to say 'on it's own' but of course, MSN had to do something.

    **Perhaps those having the issues now will see it resolved at some point soon.
