Managing personal Outlook.com account settings, security, and privacy
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.

Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
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.

Given that so many people are seeing the same problem and your suggestion did not address the problem, could you drop back in with a "Microsoft knows about this and is working to fix their bug" message?
That would be helpful, or at least consolation.
So any official feedback ? confirmation about existing problems ? guestimate for fix ? or should we all f-off and look for alternatives with working blacklists ?
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).
Here is an update: It seems this thread has been heard and I am not having this issue no more. Now, what needs to be fixed is that the blocked addresses and domains in the list actually get reported and blocked.
