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 issues here! Block sender and report junk do nothing. It's 12:20 pm and already had 53 junk/spam emails today, many of them from blocked senders. Come on Microsoft, you should do better.

    Microsoft is useless with the proof being that they expect their customers solve the problem. I'm not going to renew my subscription.

    I block over a hundred a day and I am still getting emails form the same people! I have found someone is sending emails on behalf now. I wish Microsoft had customer support! This is consuming my entire day. I am a real estate agent so i cant' just change my email address. Microsoft used to have customer support to help with these situation. Any suggestions? I changed my setting to restrict emails from unknown senders however I am still gettting hundreds of junk emails a day. It takes up all my storage and the emails I need are now going to junk as well so i am constantly sorting them.
