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

    I have noticed an improvement also. Oddly though some of my regular emails are now going into my junk email folder, but this is better then all those other emails that I did not want.

    I've experienced the same issues that most have reported here. I created rules for Renew and Preview@. They don't work. Microsoft has a responsibility to protect our email accounts and allowing these nuisance emails through makes it more difficult to monitor other spam that might be more of a threat. Microsoft PLEASE address this issue.

    Hey it's my pleasure. Someone earlier on said that this was a "hack". It's really an exploit that Microsoft doesn't feel the need to fix. The sheer volume of emails coming from this hacking group speaks to that. I've got email accounts with other services that don't generate even 5% of the total phishing spam emails that I'm getting through Outlook. Btw I got the renew ones as well earlier on. I'm sure the prefix will change again sometime soon, if it hasn't already for some folks (like you've been reporting).

    I wish someone from the Microsoft community team would acknowledge this as an exploit and at least say that they're working on it. I notice they stopped communicating to this thread when it was clear that their solutions weren't working.

    This is because Microsoft is preview @ and would lose money from advertisers. Contact the FEDS.

    I am having the same issue with hundreds of spam emails all beginning with preview@. It is impossible to block or add them to the unsafe sender list because every one has a different name and domain. I am receiving well over 75 a day.

    I have settings for junk email set on high and the box checked to automatically delete suspicious junk emails however that isn't working - they continue to show up in the junk email folder.

    Can someone help with this please

    Thanks
