Block Sender
It is ridiculous that I have to type in the address of the email that is sending me junk. Why would I want to open an email to get the address? Just hitting the Block Sender was so much safer. This is ridiculous.

To block a sender without clicking into an email, either:
1) Right-click on that email to bring up a context menu
2) Select “Block”
or
1) Select the item in the message list
2) Select the “Junk” dropdown in the top level menu bar
3) Select “Block”

Is blocking the sender supposed to actually block future e-mails from the same sender? If not why are blocking these e-mails?

I agree 300% block sender was easier.

This feature was the One and Only reason I failed to update to Beta until I was forced to. Please bring Blocking back to the main screen of the Junk folder so we can mass block and don't have to open emails to do so. Opening emails is a SECURITY Risk! Common Microsoft, you can do better than this!

Have most of you noticed that a good majority of the email comes from email addresses that end in .onmicrosoft.com, What's that all about, Microsoft is perpetuating the problem and can't figure out how to block spammers using their solutions???? It baffles the mind.

Tony Stain I couldn't agree with you more. The fact that there isn't anywhere to get a person on the phone, even if they are in India, to look into fixing this problem just tells me the only people who care, and are reading this is all of us poor saps on the thread. Way to go Microsoft. Maybe you can talk Bill G into taking some of that Philanthropy and reinvesting it into his solutions so they work properly. We are the poor people who are being mistreated these days.

it takes four keystrokes to "block" a sender. I got 82 junk e-mails in one day. four keystrokes multiplied by 82 messages equals 328 keystrokes per day. then the same e-mails show up again the next day! I think that this "got an idea" scenario is a way for Microsoft to appease the users and give them the idea that something is being done to resolve the problem. don't really think anybody at Microsoft is even looking at the comments or into a resolution!!!

I customized my quick actions to include the Block action, but all the does is bring the "Block" action to the top of the message, which means I still have to open the junk email in order to block it. Again, this is a security issue. Please allow us to block junk emails without opening them, the way we used to be able to do. Again this is a security issue. Thanks.

Whats the point of blocking a domain. They just keep creating more and more stupid domain names sending me ********. In minute it took to go the the annoying walk of going into settings to copy and paste and email from something else random at "hlmnxmm.site" I got another email from the same domain. And the rule to delete emails including the domain suffix in the address doesn't do ****. Why can't the entire domain suffix be blocked.. SERIOUSLY, NOTHING legitimate exists at ".date" or ".pw" or ".faith" or ".trade" or ".racing" or ".loan" or ".bid" or ".club" or whatever else BS they come up with.

add the block feature back into the junk mail profile now!!!!! This is stupid to have to type every single email address to block when the block feature took care of all of them in one motion!! FIX THIS NOW!!!!! or give me the old version of outlook back!! I hate this new version!!!!!

The entire system is broken now, I can't add safe senders anymore, my rules aren't working to move mail to certain folders anymore, and emails I had identified as safe are showing up in my junk folders. Who can we talk to to get any of this fixed? May have to move to gmail or something now, this sucks.

I am unable to reply to job adds posted up on craigslist. It says, something went wrong after the word sorry. So people looking for workers, etc. Can't hear back from anyone since it won't list the email address from craigslist to respond to, I think it has to do with the VPN, or the filter they are using, this is blocking commerce and that is illegal, since the commerce clause protects people's right to obtain work, blocking this is illegal under the totured interference law. Please fix. Thanks

I agree 100%! I want to be able to block bad emails without having to open them. I HATE this new version. Too cumbersome.

I completely agree. I get a lot of phishing mail that tells me to open it. How do I protect my email if I cannot tell who it is from? Now I have to delete everything and I might delete something that is important and relevant to my life.
GO BACK TO THE OLD VERSION!!!
