emails

« on: August 07, 2007, 10:05:58 AM »

I have started to get loads of advertising emails on my msn. Is there some way I can block these? I had 8 this morning!!!Also, if I junk them does this use up space, sorry I'm not very good at technical words!
thanks

Hi Betty
What I do is block them for so long then delete them.
If they are marked as spam click on mark as spam box,then they will go straight to your junk mail,which you can empty daily.
hope it is of some help

Hi Betty

Never reply to an email from a bank..A legitamate bank will never contact you by email.

This practice is called Phishing and these email come from criminal gangs trying to get hold of your account details.

there are many anti spam cleaners free to download...just search for them on Google or try www.comuteractive.co.uk for 1 of there recommendations. Incredimail has its own spam filter but its not free unfortunately
