  3. Enable two-factor authentication: This adds an extra layer of security to your account.
  4. Mark emails as spam: If you receive an email that's clearly spam, mark it as spam to help Hotmail's filters learn to recognize similar emails.

Additional tips:

  1. Use a spam filter: Hotmail offers a built-in spam filter that can help reduce the number of spam emails you receive. You can adjust the filter settings to suit your needs.
  2. Use a third-party spam filter: There are many third-party spam filters available that can help block spam emails. Some popular options include SpamAssassin and SpamSieve.
  3. Report spam emails to Hotmail: If you receive an email that's particularly malicious or annoying, report it to Hotmail's abuse team. This can help them take action against the sender.

By following these tips, you can reduce the amount of spam emails you receive and keep your Hotmail account safe and secure.
