Trick is to have an account set up just to catch all the rubbish and spam mail. Only give out your personal email address to people you want to hear from. Spam filters are only about 50% efficient

in outlook right click on each and add them to your blocked senders list.

after a while you start catching more and more until you end up with a cnie clear mailbox

i get about 90% junk on my personal account. but my blocked senders lists catch 99% of the junk
