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.

UPDATE/FYI: I wrote here months ago when I started having the issue. It got a little better, then it got even worse.
**I had done everythng that was suggested in settings, but it didn't seem to help and I pretty much already had settings set properly.
MY ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED FOR about 3 months now. I want to say 'on it's own' but MSN had to do something.
Perhaps those having the issues now will see it resolved at some point soon.
as my mail for unknown reason have been put on darknet i can+t do anything more then either just delete the messages or get a new mail addy :( this is just totally dumb as microsoft musdt be able help their users more then they do...they dont even come into these tjreads and answer anyone so why do we bother using hotmail accounts?

Likely you left you email address on a website, a store perhaps, that was hacked and the spammers got it now.
Microsoft blocks over 5 billion (that's a B) spam messages EVERY DAY. So they are doing something.
Why would you expect actual Microsoft Employees to come here and answer questions? They have better things to do with their time, like actually work on the issues that come up. If you want to talk to a Microsoft employee go to one of their Conferences that they hold every year. You'd be amazed at what you can learn.
You likely use a Hotmail account because you wanted something you didn't have to pay for.
There's no solution to spam. If someone found it they'd be very rich. Spam is just an everyday thing we have to put up with on the internet.
