Is there a way to STOP email spam?

Is there a way to STOP email spam?

Hey guys,
I'm having a problem.. Well, it's not a big deal really, as most of these emails end up in the junk folder.. But I really want to get rid of them once and for all.

First of all, I'm talking about my hotmail account. (I know I know, I should use gmail or whatever). However, I've been using my hotmail account for years, and I would like to keep it, even though I have other email accounts too.

The thing is, that I can't seem to unsubscribe from newsletters properly. - Some of them says I have unsubscribed, but they keep sending me newsletters, and other ones I try to unsubscribe, just doesn't work.

So because of that, I get literally 30 to 50 emails per day, and most of them ends up in the junk folder, but I hate them. I want to get rid of them once and for all.. - Is there any trick for something like this?


Best Regards,

Yeah I think I asked a similar question once before. I get so much spam and so many scam emails. When i go and check my spam folder it is insane to see what is sitting in there. I unsubscribe to all the ones I can but there are loads that don't have an unsubscribe option and plenty more still that are just plain scams like congratulations I have won a competition LOL. I am not opening those, who knows what is in those emails right?

Wouldn't it be amazing to have some sort of software to add all these email addresses to or to somehow block all this spam from getting to my email address?

When you discover spam in your inbox, don't simply erase it. Select it, and tell your mail customer that this specific message is spam. How you do this relies on upon your customer. For example, in case you're utilizing Gmail's site, tap the Report spam catch in the toolbar (the symbol resembles an outcry point inside a stop sign).
You likewise need to prepare the customer about your false positives. Once per day, experience your spam envelope searching for messages that don't have a place there. When you discover one, select it and tell the customer that it committed an error. In Gmail, you tap the Not spam catch.
On the off chance that your mail customer is mostly fair, it will gain from these oversights… yet just on the off chance that you prepare it.

Yes, happens to me too and is so annoying. I've done everything, I click the unsubscribed bottom, I mark them as spam, I report those nasty mails, I even send private mails to certain companies complaining about it. Unfortunately sometimes it gets even worse, they ask me to come back, to check them out, and that is a nightmare. If someone knows an specific way to get rid of those I will be super thankful.

It can be quite frustrating to be getting all these unsolicited emails in your inbox and spam sections of our mailbox. Sometimes that can get me feeling really scared about the safety of my email account and all that, but I think there is a way that most of the top email providers such as Gmail, Yahoo mail and the rest have made it that once you get those messages, you can block off receiving such messages in the future and that is the option that I have been using all these while.

The best bet is not to leave your email address on any blog, forum or public domain because of email harvesters.

If you can trace where you dropped your email online then it pertinent you go delete them to avoid use by more mail harvester.

lastly,manually unsubscribe those email from the site it coming from.

In the olden days when I was not busy in the office, what I usually do with email spam is to block their address. There is a function in Yahoo that you can block the address of a sender. I think it is part of the “filter” function. Once blocked, that particular sender cannot send you another email. It works and that is the reason why I was using that function before although I couldn’t do that now because I have lots of work.
