Blocking and Unblocking email contacts in Outlook

You can use outlook to block email addresses from sending you emails. When you add an email address or domain to your blocked senders list, Outlook will automatically move the messages from that sender into the junk folder.

You can do this either in the outlook app on your PC, or via the outlook webapp.
