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

To add to my frustration, I have a GMail addy ... But I have a total of 5 email addresses on different sites (Gmail, Hotmail, live.com, my own business website and comcast.net), and the Outlook App on my laptop is the ideal place for me to view, sort, and manage ALL of my email in ONE location, without having to website hop all over the internet! Plus, with the email downloaded to Outlook on my computer, I can still read them and do some things, even when I don't have internet access, which I sometimes don't have, as I live rural!

The Outlook App needs to function better in regard to SPAM, and with the advances of AI, there really is no reason it can't.

Agree. It's even worse now!!! I just 145 junk emails yesterday mainly from .gov sites. Crazy.

Overwhelming. Imposible to block all of those...

MS needs a better way to deal with junk and should be doing more to stop it.

Agree that it may indeed be time to switch to Google.

this is just BS!!!!!!

ive had hotmail for maybe 20 years or more and i have never had these issues sure there have been spam/scam mails BUT never like this so when will MS fix there BS?? i am very tired getting a ton off **** in my mail each and everyday so fix this or many off us might just leave MS and go too gmail instead sure its a pain in the **** and sadly i will still need outlook for some places but where ever i will be able change i will!!!! and if MS nows their best they will keep their customers and threat us old loyal customers with care and not like ****

so we need a solution provied by MS so that a blocked/reported message can´t get thru once blocked/reported as junk so if MS gonna help us we might stay if not we just might migrate i guess...im sorry MS but i do won´t take this anymore i have had this problem for a long time now so do something about it so we can protect our mail

THANK YOU

I have tried every method under the sun that includes advice at this thread. I have concluded that Microsoft makes a killing from all the ads it doesn't firewall for its consumers and then acts stupid or enjoys seeing consumers run from one rabbit hole to another. It's deliberate on his part, or so I believe, and Gates could consider spending more time on his product rather than vaccines.

So I don't find this reply helpful at all. The issue is that Outlook's spam blockers should be blocking these emails before they get to our inboxes, and it shouldn't be incumbent upon users to block single email addresses. Why can't we block entire domains. I feel very confident I never need to get another email from "@tribdect.com." But the fact remains these emails should not be making it to our inbox in the first place.

THEY ARE SO INTERESTED IN CENSORING COMMENTS ON THE MSN BLOGS THAT DONT ALIGN WITH THEIR WAY OF THINKING THO! MSN SUX..BILL GATES IS A POS LEFT WING IDIOT
