Over the years, I have consistently tried to block unwanted senders to reduce phishing scams coming into my inbox. In recent weeks, the list of hundreds of blocked sites seem to have disappeared without me doing anything to delete them. When I now block senders, they appear on the list but when I log into Outlook on the web on another occasion, the list is blank again of blocked senders and it looks like my attempt to block sites is not saving.

2025-02-28T18:10:16+00:00 My blocked senders working this AM. Turned off/restarted laptop and blocked sender (I blocked domains) did not disappear. Looks like it's working for me.

That would be helpful, or at least consolation.

2025-02-28T13:08:15+00:00 This hasn't been fixed for me. I used to have probably 500 blocked domains and now there are 3 addresses in the list (probably from the last 2 days).
