How can I get spam emails from these senders to stop? They are in the junk folder, so rules don't work.

    I agree; finally "renew@" and "preview@" appear to have gone away. Maybe our complaints were heard after all.

    I’ve been dealing with these junk e-mail ; preview@XXX for three months. I started getting them immediately after they discontinued Mail&Calendar in Windows 10 and offered this online version. I have posted a few notes to explain my experience. I have not received unwanted emails in such volume until changing. I believe Microsoft will never do anything about it. I get up to 200 per day. I am a Microsoft beta tester and there is nothing worst for the company to warn users about false phone numbers on this support page when everyone is dealing with these emails. I am discouraged and am making plans to remove myself from this rinky dink email client.

    One more person here with the exact same issue.

    Since this seems to be an Outlook specific issue not happening anywhere else, it leads to the conclusion that Microsoft is either technically not able to, or (worse?) unwilling to resolve its customers problems?

    It is also happening to me. On a daily basis I receive like +100 spam emails starting with "preview@". It started right when I subscribed for Microsoft 360 (coincidence? idk) but I am really thinking of using gmail from now on because of this stupid spams and no response from Microsoft.

    Yes wildcard search/identification would sure help in blocking emails. I use google earth a lot and they allow wild card searches for features In the satellite images which is a great feature. So if google can do it , why can't Microsoft?
