Log in to your Outlook.com account and go to More Mail Settings by clicking on the gear icon.
Click on Safe and Blocked Senders.

Any email sent from them will be automatically deleted from Outlook.com. So, to block an email address, click on Blocked Senders.
Add the email address you want to block and click Add to list. It will show you the list of email ids blocked as well in the right side of the screen.
If you want to remove anyone from the blocked list, just select the email address and click on Remove From List.
