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.

    My original MSN account is exactly the same. None of it goes to spam for some reason.

    I wonder if due to age of the account we’re just on lots of spam lists. Or it’s missing some newer spam protection.

      I’m so glad I’m not alone! I think you’re right and it could be a little bit of both. I took the advice here and reported over 200 today alone - that’s just insane!
