Re: Spam.

Hi Roxy I used to have this problem but don't now. My laptop has a spam filter and all the rubbish goes in to 'Junk mail' to be deleted without opening and any spammers which don't go straight in there get added by me (to the 'block senders list') so they only get chance to spam me once.

Re: Spam.

I have a Spam filter, but used to do the Block Sender route until the volume just made it too great ... I'd have spent far too much time doing it, so now just dump them all without reading. There were 18 waiting when I logged on this morning, and will probably have at least that many or more throughout the day. I hate Spam, but don't know of any practical way to stop it.

Re: Spam.

sounds like you need to reset your spam filter, I find some are sneeky and use friends email codes to spam

Re: Spam.

I do the same as Eileen. I haven''t looked at my e-mail for a few days and there were 107 on this morning - not all spam, but most of it I just delete without bothering to open.
