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.

    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!!!!!

    Certainly wish MS try to do something or make it easier to block addresses.

    Microsoft is also raising the price of Office 365. I could give them that, but since they don’t care about their customers…why bother? They are nothing but a greedy, narcissistic company.

    Ha ha... he's probably the one behind it! He's diabolically evil in every other aspect, why not drive us all insane as well?

    Thank you for your response. Yes, with a little self-help and investigation. I found that most of the emails are fakes from Uganda and India? I think that they are trying to take control of my computer. Also, trying to obtain information from our computers. I spend most of my time deleting and blocking these emails. It is NOT only time consuming but also very annoying. Even when blocked it seems, they find another way to get through. Yes, Microsoft should do more to prevent. If I find the individuals selling my information through third parties, I will definitely take action of some kind. For this reason, I am going back to regular delivered mail. I thought that that method had junk mail? Boy, was I wrong.
