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 get spam all the time in the 3 different email accounts (all different vendors) as they are the ones I used on the internet.

    There's one email account I ONLY use for communicating with financial institutions and fortunately none of them have been hacked and I receive ZERO spam in it.

    I guess I'm not like some of the people in this thread, I don't panic or freak out about getting spam. It's just what it is and it takes me like 1 or 2 minutes a day to take care of what I do get. I have better things to focus my time and energy on.

    Sounds like the tone of another reply from MS this week, that one stated everyone's email have this problem so get over it.

    That to is also total BS! Have 4 different email carriers and ONLY my Hotmail gets filled with junk daily!
