Anti Spam for Windows Outlook.

My mum is being plagued with 100's of spam messages a day. She's tried adding them to blocked list in Outlook, but they keep on coming.

She's uses BT internet as her email provider and they aren't really helping with the flood of spam she's getting.

Can anyone recommend a good spam application for Outlook?

Thanks in advance.

tried changing the protection level?
failing that
mailwasher free version
spamfighter
spamihilator
spam reader

link to change protection level

Change the level of protection in the Junk Email Filter - Microsoft Support

Customize the sensitivity of the Outlook Junk Email Filter.

support.microsoft.com

That was the first thing I checked. It was already set to high. She got 65 spam in her inbox today.

Thank you. I'll have a look at the apps. What would you recommend?

It's my mother's choice. I've been trying to get her to try Thunderbird instead.

In win11 I find that 'marking as junk' in the outlook app doesn't seem to do anything.
If you log into outlook webmail and 'block sender' that seems to work.

The outlook webmail is actualy better than the app if you ask me.

Ok. Cool. Thanks for that. I'll give it a try.
