Microsoft emails are absurdly hard to unsubscribe from.

I've had to resort to dropping MS domains at our exchange edge to stop receiving them.

Their Azure sales team are even worse - I've actually had to shout (repeatedly) at them to stop them from calling me, all because I wanted to try Azure AD as a test. They're on my permanent blacklist now, I won't even consider Azure because of the constant harassment over email and phone.

The answer to any sales calls that won't stop (I found this out by happenstance):

"We're a consultancy selling services for these tools/products."

or

"We're a competitor, and I registered for your free trial for competitive research."

In my case, these are true answers, but I never get more than one sales call from anyone.

I can't help you on the email front, but it's easy to set up filters for those.
