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.

MS has caused this problem...the only thing they would listen to is a class action to remedy the situation IMHO.
I think exactly the same thing. In a couple of weeks we are going to see some new spam blocker from MS so we can "pay" to not receive this **** !
What you're asking cannot be done here. They have automated spam filters and if they fail, you're getting a lot of SPAM in your inbox.
With rules, you're at least doing a setup that blocks most of them. Not a solution but better than manually deleting tons of spam.
I'm not happy with this either.
You can try making some rules. The SPAM i received had more or less the same keywords, so i made a rule (settings-> mail -> rule) that checks for subject includes and message body includes the spam words and in action select to move them on junk folder and make them read (or delete them). I prefer to have them on junk folder so i can check for false positives.
Hope this helps a bit.
Best thing would be if they fix their SPAM filters.. last couple of days i getting really obvious spam on my inbox!
No, your answer didn't help at all.
The point is to block completely those spams, to receive the sender a message from his/her mail host as undelivered. To not even come to my email. Not to go even to spam or deleted folder.
In the original post some people are missing the point of just one word "suddenly". This has suddenly become a problem because of something done by Microsoft.....so how about they "suddenly" reverse it??????
I had it in the last 2 days, crazy amount of SPAM but today it is better. Maybe they were testing or fixing something.
Hi the problem here is MS is not filtering correctly inbox on saved contacts so we are all geeting tons of spam which makes accounts unmanageable!
MS can you please help?
