How to block an email in Outlook
- Open Outlook and locate the email you want to block.
- Right-click the email, then select “Block Sender.”
- Confirm the action, and future emails from that sender will go to the Junk folder automatically.
Additional spam control tips

- Create custom rules to block emails with specific keywords or domains.
- Review junk mail settings in Settings > Junk Email for more control.
Blocking emails helps keep your inbox clean and secure, reducing distractions and unwanted messages.
