Ditch the Orange spam filter if a lot of spam is getting through (especially if you are paying for it) and learn how to train Outlook's spam filter instead.
If it is catching spam then it is doing it's job, ones that get through to your inbox simply right click on and send to the junk mail list.
Just a few tips for you -
1) never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, open an email from a recipient you have never heard of (sometimes spammers set up a method of receiving a 'receipt' and they now know that you email account is 'live' and will sell it on)
2) switch off any preview pane you may have on (this can flag an email as being read - see above)
3) never ever, ever, (etc), reply to a spam message or click on an 'unsubscribe' link, also for the above reasons
I have my email account for over 10 years now and reluctantly accept that for the moment spam emails exist and will get through to your inbox but if you follow the above tips you can keep them down to a minimum
