I have an MSN email account that I access through Outlook and I’ve had it for about 20 years now. All my important communications come to that email. Lately, I’ve been getting an unbelievable amount of junk mail. I used to be able to block the sender and things would be fine for a while. Not so anymore! I emptied the junk email box 3 hours ago and already have over 50 new items in there. I checked to see if I was pwn’d, and I haven’t been.
Is there anything at all I can do? I really don’t want to have to set up a new email account because everyone that’s important already has this address (doctors, automatic payments, etc.) I know this is a longshot, but I figured if anybody knew it would be you guys. Thanks in advance.
If the mail is going to junk and it is indeed junk then you don’t have to worry about it, the junk will be deleted by MS automatically.
There is no real way to stop the junk though. All you can do is report is as junk so the MS filters get better.
Doe it matter if I report it as phishing from the junk folder?
Not sure as they already suspect it as junk. It might do some reinforced learning for their spamm filter though.
Allright, I’ll keep reporting! It’s not a lot, but honest work
