Outlook.com comes with some cool features to keep your inbox clean from spam messages. Even though Outlook.com includes industry leading spam protection technology, users might occasionally see spam messages in the inbox. To help users block spam senders, Microsoft has introduced a new feature that automatically deletes messages from spam senders.

In Outlook.com, one can easily add an email address to the blocked list so you can block users who send spam messages to your inbox. When you receive emails from blocked email addresses, Outlook.com automatically deletes them.

Step 1: Visit Outlook.com and log in by entering your email address and password.

    I find it silly that there’s no option to block an address directly from within an email or by right-clicking on a message. Seems like it’d be much easier to manage your Junk folder if you could easily block reoccurring offenders immediately and easily.

    Didn’t Hotmail used to have that feature?
