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.

    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.
