Hello Mojo, 3 days ago, I was visiting again my other email which is full of spams. I decided to use it again so my day was consume on removing spam emails. Fortunately, I was able to get rid of all of those emails. Now, my inbox only receive emails from my contacts and emails from other website I currently subscribe register into. I did these 2 simple steps. 1. Open each of those email in my inbox, and visit the unsubscribe page to remove my email in their mailing lists; then 2. I reset mail options in the Spam Protection Tab, I set it to delete all spam emails immediately after receive. I hope this will help you on your problem. Des

Hello Mojo,Well I don't know, but so far it works for me. Just try, anyway, if you will receive another new email from them, then you can spam it and the next time you will receive an email from them, if there is next time, I think you will not be able to see it, as it will go directly to your spam folder (that is also if you have your spam protection option to delete immediately after receive.) Happy mylotting!

Depressingly, I think the only way to truly get rid of spam is by not having an email address. Apart from that, use services that require people sending you email to verify their email address (Spam Assassin?). Unfortunately, some email that you need will probably not verify themselves, especially from larger companies, so that's not a perfect solution.

well might find and never face too much of a problem with stamps and my inbox. I in using the gmail e-mail service and it is very versatile and very strong in detecting spamming is from other males and that is the reason why it gives me the comfort of not individually detecting whether the male is spam or not. It is a very strong spam filter and that is the reason why you don't have to waste your valuable time sorting out those particular e-mails. This is a very good service which is not that strong with any other e-mail service provider and that is one reason why I stick to the one which I'm using.

I honestly wish I could stop spam! I get loads of messages every single day which are of no use to me at all. I get over 300 messages which my spam folder deals with, but at least a further 50 which still make it into my inbox! I am sure companies buy email addresses from people on the offchance someone will actually be interested in what they're trying to sell!

i suggest You to mark all the mails you feel as spam and delete them or else use a mail filter option and redirect all the mails in to a spam folder so that all mails from that particular address shall go into the spam folder.

Even if you dont give your email to unknown people or dont add your email address onto websites, still you get spams. Dont know where they get the email addresses, probably they send messages to random email addresses
