bounce back unwanted emails instead of having to use organize

how do i prevent unwanted emails from even entering my inbox. i would like
to block them and automatically send them back.

all i know now is to use the organize option and send them to my delete folder

Bouncing is a useless waste of time and bandwidth and verifies your email
address to spammers. The best solution is using a spam filter on the email
server - if your email provider doesn't use spam filters, you'll need to
install one on your computer. I recommend something like mailwasher or any
third party spam filter - using Organize is pretty much a waste of time as
spammers never use the same address twice.

You can't - Outlook rules only work on mail received in the In-box. It does
not have the ability to automatically bounce mails before being received.

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to
the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.
