Additional tips

• You can also use the "Mark as junk" button at the top of the email to report it as spam.
• If you're receiving a lot of spam emails from a specific sender, you can also mark the sender's email address as "Not junk" to allow emails from that sender to reach your inbox.
• Hotmail also uses algorithms to filter out spam emails, so even if you don't block a sender, the email may still be marked as spam and moved to your "Junk" folder.
