That’s one of the reasons I stopped working on hosted mail. It has not turned to anything better with big companies putting their hands over it. It’s more controlled now but the same crap as before, just as dangerous and a bit more expensive.
Currently working on a system with as much control as possible but piggybacking existing providers' transports.

If your e-mail client loads external images it was already confirmed on open without clicking any link.
Ewww, why would anyone have their client configured to do that? That would be truly idiotic. Personally, my email is text only. It drops all HTML. I prefer it this way. :)

I have an outlook.com account, too and having a look at the Spam-folder is as important as looking at the Inbox. Too many important mails get missing with outlook
This sort of email oligopoly/mafia problem can only really be solved with legislation. There needs to be push from within the EU to legislate this hopeless situation.

How is legislation the only answer? Users can just stop using Outlookif they care that MS is blocking providers. If users don't care and stay on Outlook, why bother legislating it?

Even if the unsubscribe link works I still report spam as spam. If it is unsolicited then it is spam, plain and simple.
When someone sends spam perhaps don't click on any "Unsubscribe" type link...? Those links are often spammer controlled and just confirm your email address as valid.
I own my own email domain, and I use a different email address per service. I have done so for 13 years.
On legitimate emails, unsubscribe works correctly almost every time.
True spam seems to originate from a handful of compromised services like LinkedIn, parkmobile, etc. I don’t hit unsubscribe on those, but I don’t see how it would make things any worse.

Second: corporate & institutional users have no choice
Many providers seems to do this, respond everything ok and then drop the message silently..
