Multiple select to block will filter out the own email address blocking
Short version: New Outlook should allow blocking of multiple selected spam messages without getting hung up on messages that spoof my own email.
Details: Both old and new Outlook formats allow me to select and block multiple spam messages. Old Outlook used to kill my whole block list if one of the messages spoofed my own email address, and I had to start over and find the offending message, to omit it from the block list (or block each message individually).
Old Outlook fixed this. In Old Outlook, I can multi-block, and if it sees spoof from my own email address, it ignores and continues with requested block of other messages. New Outlook needs to fix this, as well.

Allow me to block messages that claim to be from my own email address. No possible reason for MSN to prevent a user from being able to block emails that have spoofed my email address.

Check boxes to select multiple addresses for deletion of blocked senders or subscriptions when housekeeping in spam settings. Currently you can only delete one at a time, which is ridiculous and takes ages if you have hundreds.

I agree. It is annoying and time consuming to block each sender separately. It was however possible until a week ago to select all messages, right-click on one, and block all messages/senders at once.
I don't know why they removed this option. Microsoft, please bring it back. We don't have time to block every sender separately. Thank you. -

The previous version of email was one million times better. With the colors are like kindergarteners learning to color. WE need to be able to block multiple emails like before. This version is too time consuming

i dont know if only happens to me but, in the outlook beta mode i cant block more than one sender at once, i have to select one by one to block annoying phising email, with the non beta version i can select all of those senders and block all of them in just one single click
