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.

You should consider investigating a class action in relation to this matter

2024-01-26T01:01:52+00:00 Same here! A couple of days ago the spam instantly stopped, and I received none anymore. NONE. I can hardly believe it.
Possible causes:
- I had just implemented some Rules in an attempt to block any emails with certain words / phrases in the title (unlikely, because I had still received several dozen after implementing them)
- Microsoft cherry picked me, and possibly others on this forum to help us specifically
- Microsoft finally fixed their **** concerning obvious spam mails
I don't want to cheer too soon, but it appears my issue has been resolved. How about you guys?
