Spam/junk email showing up in Inbox
Why can’t you have a more efficient spam filter? When I get 10 emails saying the same dumb **** which is obviously spam, can’t I just block certain words? Or better yet, can’t you block emails even coming through to my spam folder/inbox which are obviously spam? I don’t need them, and I’m probably not alone...

I have no way of getting back into my two outlook and hotmail accounts. I tried recovery forms which don’t work?
I am locked out of my own accounts I depend on to Pay bills, professional network and manage my life. You now have locked me out of two accounts and the recovery forms always come back saying I havent provided enough info for your system to recover my account. Well why can’t I send a passport, driving licence, proof of address. This is so wrong and I just want back into my own account.
The accounts are for paulreecescott@outlook.com and pauls ott16@hotmail.com
Please somebody help me.

New format does not work

Don’t even send blocked content to the junk folder
I must say I find the spam filter very ineffective. The way it is set (and I didn't find a way to change it), only emails from senders in my approved list go to my inbox. This means I have to constantly check the junk folder to see if I didn’t get something from a sender I haven't approved yet. So far so good. The problem is that the junk folder is also filled with emails from senders I already blocked!
When I block a sender, I don't even want to see their emails on the junk folder. It is…
