Well I am a Google Mail a/c and use Thunderbird as a replacement for
Outlook and I have never had a problem. Maybe you ought to replace
Micro$oft with something that works.

It’s called MICROSOFT. This company has designed it’s own spam
filter to “protect” their customers from unwanted spam. The problem
is that their database is totally different than any of the other 100
or so popular spam databases.
Once their computer programs determines some so-called spam coming
from a specific email address, Microsoft blocks ALL emails coming from
that domain addressed to their customers which include MSN, Outlook,
Hotmail and others.
For some unknown reason, Microsoft blocked our list. We contacted
Microsoft through their web page to have the block removed. From
reviewing comments from others having the same problem, the request is
automatically rejected – 100% of the cases reported this. Next you
have to get in line to talk to a real live person who may or may not
speak English (that we can understand) and may not even be in North
America.
They confirm they will look into the matter and the block should be
removed in the next 24-48 hours but there is no guarantee that email
will get through.
We are at the waiting stage right now and may see some improvements by
the weekend.
If you are one of many that have reverted to other methods to receive
our list emails, and you have a Microsoft email account, it is
possible they have blocked other senders to your address.
At least we are getting somewhere.
Stay safe & healthy – Seasons’ Greetings
