Justin R: How to stop spam emails from getting through?
I have been getting ALOT of spam emails for about a year now (to the point where I had to make a new account), I dunno the reason why I’m getting these emails. They not only go into my bulk folder, but, they also go into my inbox. Is there any way to stop these emails from getting through?

IF YOU FIND OUT PLEASE LET ME KNOW.I ‘M FEELING YOU.
first off… u usually get those emails from signing up for random things online… or even those free drawings for cars that u see in the mall or wherever… so don’t act like they’re sucha nuisance when you were the one who gave ur e-mail address out all willy nilly… so hopefully now u learn 🙂
now second off… usually if u just take the time to go through ur inbox… and select all the spam… and click the button (usually at the top) to MARK AS SPAM… that cuts down ur spam intake a lot… u should wait til ur inbox fattens up… so u can mark a lot of them as spam all at one time… and as long as u stop signing up ur e-mail in random places then ur spam should be at a minimum
third off… your bulk folder IS for spam 🙂
Answer by Lyn GYou can not completely stop all spam, but you can help to put a big dent in it.
First, try not to open any of them, that only makes them send more and more to you.
Check mark them and click on ‘Spam,’ this should stop those addresses from being delivered to your inbox.
Use your spam filter and block address.
Look for the ‘Options’ link at upper right corner of mail screen and click on it
Options/ mail options / spam preferences
make sure spam guard is on, click on save changes
Options /mail options / blocked addresses
Enter the E-mail address you wish blocked and click on ‘add block’
you will never get mail from that address again.
This should help you to control your spam.
Other tips:
Never open E-mail unless you are absolutely sure who it is from.
Never give out your personal information to anyone.
If at a website and you must sign up for something, check the entire page to make sure you uncheck any lines wanting to send you notices, info, or ads.
Hope this helps.
Your question begs the answer, “STFW” or “You can’t, ’cause everybody gets ’em too.” as a reply . . .
