I recently found out that my aol email account has been flooding for the past month with spam email. I was wondering if there is anyway to get rid of them for good. A lot of them are the same spam emails and everytime i delete them they come back. From 2/14/2008 to 2/15/2008 I received a total of 47 spam emails.i dont used to use AOL mail; but yahoo mail has a spam feature beside delete and is good to tackle those problems, i think AOL mail should have this feature too, don't they?Aol has that feature but the same emails tend to reappear. Switch to GMail... Best spam filter around.ill 2nd that
i get hundreds of spam emails a month for some reason but not 1 has got into my inbox
gmail IS the bestAnother good IDEA is to use a disposable email account for logging into sites that REQUIRE it etc.
I use Yahoo for this and all that garbage never touches my main e-mail account.
Forwarding messages without cleaning out all the email addys is another way to get spammed a ton. If any of your buddies forward to you this way re-educate them as to the proper way or politely tell them you will no longer be opening their emails.I'm currently using my hotmail account. But when I used my Gmail account, i was gettin at least 20 spam messages a day. They went straight to the ''spam junkyard'', except for a few biatches who found their way to my inbox. Since Í'm using my hotmail again, I haven't received 1 spam message. I also always delete any message I don't recognize, cuz some of those bastards create a spam flood when you try to open them. Might be a good tip. Quote from: patio on FEBRUARY 17, 2008, 08:33:05 AM
