Spamalot

NOt very often p1ke but it has happened occasionally! I now try to have a quick glance before doing a mass extermination of the spam file! Some sneaky emails do manage to hide themselves in there though! Grrrr I HATE Spam! xxx

I don't have that problem. I have yet to find something that I actually want in my junk mail. My e-mail is just pretty darned good at filtering and sorting for me.

I always have to check my spam mail because like you say they are always something or another finding it's way in there by mistake. So I check it just to be on the safe side and if you check it every 50 or so messages it isn't so overwhelming to check. I don't know why it happens it just does. I guess the same way the spam finds it's way into our mail still.

is something there more than zillion???i got it!!!it is zillion raised to n.but i donot usually check my spam mails,i think the solution to your problem is to check every now and then.

Yes, that does happen for me also. I have learned to scan through the messages first. Then move whatever does not belong in the junk/spam list to where it belongs. And then I delete the remainder.

pike i usually go through it all before i can the rubbish,heaven forbid if i had a e-mail from you and i missed it.all the crap that is sent to us,how do they get our e-mails,you know i am a very wealthy woman according to all the inheritances i have gotten.lolcheers sue

I read the spam section in my email ..that is if i have the time..and yes i have found important messages in my spam from my friends ..just wondering how it happens..or maybe i haven't add them or whatever...

Yes, I do receive messages I want in my spam box. I used to have my preferences set so that they deleted them without me ever seeing them, but then when I was waiting on replies and didn't receive them had a look in my spam box and found them there. So now, I sift through my spam to make sure nothing has gone wayward and often find things that shouldn't be there. It can be a pain in the patootie to have to do this, but then again you never know what interesting things you might find.

Not any more. I use Boxbe and they filter my emails based on my approval. Now my spam is down to less than 30 a day over the hundreds I used to get.

Strangely enough, my Best Responses go in my spam folder! Maybe the little lad in the machine who sorts out the spam thinks it's so laughable I'd ever have a best response he bins it! (The wee doubting b@stard ...)

I will have at least two a day that end up in my spam folder. I will sort by subject, and then check the first page before I empty my spam folder. If someone sends me something important with a subject begins with something greater than "M", it gets dumped.

never even open spam mail it goes right into file 13 (trash bin)

I always quickly check and empty the folder before it piles up as i hate any kindof junk on my computer

Hehe. I thought this was in regard to the actual Spamalot musical. It was here for a time but we missed seeing it due to sitter problems. Anyhow, I do get lots of spam from time to time. I have a nice junk mail thing though so I never have to look at it. I can just push delete all.

I never check my spam mail, there's just way too much stuff in it that I'd never find something that was a REAL e-mail even if I looked. I'm sure real e-mail has gone in there...

Hi p1ke, I used to receive a lot more spam than I have of late. Maybe it's because my 'old' e-mail provider no longer works for me, and my new one screens the messages better. This said, I still prefer my old provider. Finally, yes, I have to make sure I check everything before hitting the delete button. I've found some really important messages mixed in with 'this junk' many times. Take care. Hugs

Well, yes, once in a while.... :) I do find quite a few useful messages in the spam folder. I just check the spam of my work email id though. Cheers and happy Mylotting

I have had messages creep into my spam before but the thing is when I get hundreds a day it is a time wasting chore to go through them all and check them so I do not bother anymore! I just delete the whole lot now.

Snap! I do more or less the same. Also get many messages from MyLot, while not spam, are tricky to keep up with. Most I delete without reading, but when I have a bit of time, there are always a few current ones to respond too! What does get a little tedious, sometimes, is all the make more money messages! Unfortunately this does show how hard up some people must be, because if you worked out the hourly rate of responding to most of these websites, it would be very low, I think! Fortunately (!) there are more interesting discussions, from people such as yourself, which keep me coming back to MyLot!

I use Spamfighter and check the folder at least twice a day, often more than that. If it's left longer it becomes an enormous chore. All my myLot notifications end up in there because I blacked one by mistake one day and haven't yet worked out how to reverse it. Silly me.
