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

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.

    I have 2 outlook accounts and use them for very different reasons yet I get the same spam messages and loads of them. It is really annoying. Definitely something wrong with outlook.

    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

    this is not an answer that works..ive had outlook for a very long time..at least 10-15 years. its all of a sudden this is happening and i block every one of them and they still send me emails. i think its a ploy by MS to get people to upgrade so they have to pay for this to be stopped. im about to switch to my gmail account and cancel everything related to MS.
