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

I think I am going to do the same. Going back to Yahoo who NEVER had these issues before. I am hoping this is Not the norm for all emails. This is outrageous. I don't even want to look at my emails due to so many spam and junk mail. However, sometimes you have important emails coming in and I have to sift through the garbage. Waste of time. Also, the enormous amounts of illegal scams going on is ridiculous. How is this even allowed? Believe me, already looking into deleting email. No help on the subject.

they don't care. I wasted an hour of my life 'chatting' with an agent, who opened outlook the program on my PC, which I NEVER use, told me changing the spam filter on there will solve all my problems. It didn't do anything, my issue was legit e-mail going into spam, he 'turned off' my outlook spam filter when i pointed to the outlook.com UI, where you can't turn it off. He said they are the same, I clearly know more than these idiots. They told me there is no one that can look at the server back-end spam filtering. What a joke. I finally have given up after a year of this non-sense an moved all my e-mail back to Yahoo.

Microsoft doesn’t care. I get more ******** spam emails than I do normal emails. Enough is ******* enough! Fix it Microsoft or face a class action lawsuit!!!!!
