How much do you hate spam email?

i used to utilize yahoo mail and i always receive hundreds of spam emails every week.. yay! hubby encouraged me to use gmail as it filters spam emails.. and yes, it's true! Gmail is one of the best services on the internet, it sifts infuriating spam emails! thanks gmail!

If getting junk email is what you call spam, then I get lots of that everyday. The mistake I made was that I used the same email that I communicate with my friends to sign up to many internet opportunities. As a result, I get bombarded with lots of spam from many marketers trying to sell their stuff and I don't want to delete this email because I also get emails from my friends here. I won't say all the junk are bad. Some of them offer freebies and useful advices for internet marketers, so at times I do benefit from them. But what I am annoyed with these days are the increasing occurrences of phishing emails...you know, the kind that says you have won some lottery, gotten some inheritances, someone trying to send you a postal order, people asking you to be their beneficiaries, companies asking you to verify your bank accounts, etc. I don't know where they got hold of my email account. I seem to get more and more of them over the weeks and I can't stop their flow other than reporting them as spam. Looks like I have to live with these inconveniences as long as my email account is not changed.

I hate spam a whole bunch especially the ones that relate to body parts I don't have. Did you try turning on your junk filter in hotmail? I did that and I've found it works well. Although, gmail has a better one. I've never deleted an email account because of spam. You must get some really terrible ones to do that.

Among all my email account, hotmail has the worst spam mail filtering, therefore I am not using hotmail as my official email account. I just use the email for the sake to log into my MSN messenger. Actually spam does not influence me much as most of them are sent to the spam mail folder. Once a while I will browse through to see any important email in that folder and clear all of the mails at my spam mail folder. I'm glad that most of the free webmails have such feature to ease the users.

Yes, I hate spammers with a passion. They are even below telemarketers and door to door sales people. I hate spammers because it is against the law and they are usually selling fake stuff as well so they are wasting my time as I am not interested. I have had to close a couple of email accounts because of them and put up with their garbage in others because either I have them bouncing spam or it is not to the point where it is intolerable. What you should do is use disposable email accounts. As soon as spam starts coming through you just close it. Some disposable email services you can just give one email to each person and when spam comes through you know who sold your email address to spammers.

I hear a lot of people complain about SPAM when they use hotmail. I always suggest them just to try Gmail (http://www.gmail.com/) and people are always satisfied with it once they find out how it works. I think people get hundreds spam messages daily, no matter which email you have. Although Gmail has a "spam" section and I barely get a spam message in my inbox. Besides, Gmail has 7 GigaByte storage which truely helps. Plus it's faster than hotmail too. Anyway, try it out.

I check my emails daily so get a lot of spam messages daily which is quite annoying but I keep them deleting on daily basis.I used to use another emailid which I use now.The problem due to which I left that email was due to 100's of spam messages daily and it wasn't easy to delete them so I opened a new email account.

It won't take long before you start getting spammed again. A list is a good idea.

I too hate spam emails but i don't delete the email account.I will wither set the spam filters in my mail to block the spam email.I have received a lot of spam emails in my yahoo and hotmail account.still i use the same inbox.I ignore the spam mails and never open it.I've heard gmail is very good for protecting from spam email.

I haven't but if I did I think I would keep the old account open just in case something came through. Might get too overwhelming to manage it though!

well i have got a yahoo id and it gets like 100 to 200 emails a day and it gets so much crowded at times that i have to wasre 2 hrs. just to filter emails .spams r very common as u joned so many grps and site that u get all the crap they have got.i hate spam.

I love spam! Here's what I do. You write for AC correct. What a better way to get some page views. I send spam back to the spammers and link all sorts of stuff to them. I've even had them reply with thanks for a silly link I sent. Or, if you have an ex and you really want them to suffer send the spammers their e-mail. The contents of this message will self destruct in 5 4 3 2 ...

That's why I keep multiple accounts. I have gotten to the point where I have different accounts for different purposes. That is also a good way to figure out which companies sell your info to third parties.

I use 2 accounts one in gmail and another one in yahoo. gmail controls almost all the spam mail and send them to spam folder. but yahoo is not so good in that thing.

Yes I quit using my Hotmail address as well. I only use Yahoo now. I still get alot of spam mail but it is filtered better. I have also tried other accounts. have you heard of myway.com mail? It is okay I have a email account there but I am always forgetting to use it..lol well I hope you remember to change the email address on your accounts.

Well i feel so infuriated at spam mails that , i feel like killing the one sending spam mails!!! Sometimes they are so humiliating and disgusting that i feel ashamed of the community of people i live in this world with!!! Its is absolutely Not fair!!!
