Answer» Hi, had a very good response last I had a query REGARDS my system so here is another one... Those irksome emails that you get that advertise selling/promoting something etc. They always come with a footer stating, 'if you wish to unsubcribe from future emails, this site etc, click here'..click where?, as I can't see anywhere to click on, just what to get them of my list as one in particular is a PAIN..
Thanks.. KG Never click on a link in an email that states "To unsubscribe...click here". If you do...you've pretty much VALIDATED your email address to the sender, who, in turn, will sell your email address to some other company...thus...more unwanted email.
What you need to do is either report this email as spam to your ISP...or configure your email client to block this sender and have any future emails either automatically deleted or sent to your junk email folder.Thanks for the quick reply. I already have this particular sender re-routed to my junk email folder. Apart from the info that you have given me, i.e., is there any other way of cancelling this out, I say this as my ISP being Tiscali, found they are not the easiest crowd to get satisfactorly sense out of any time I've a query with them...let's just say, they can be rather fustrating regards solutions.
KGThe only other alternative is to use a different email client which automatically deletes unwanted email from the server....
Does Tiscali offer a webmail service? If so...see if you can stop it from downloading there.
Other than that...let it go to your junk mail folder and then delete it.Thanks again, as the saying goes..'a little knowledge goes a long way' this is regards the link scenario.
Final QUESTION for now, I don't get a lot of emails from friends/family etc, but is there a way within Vista whereby I can get some kind of response when an email arrives? I've SET up the parameters within, (so I think), to inform me with an audible prompt. Is it possible to be notified visually? I still don't know unless I actually go into my windows mail whereby a small icon then appears in the taskbar prior to receipt. My previous work system used to flag up a visual message on the screen when a mail message came in. (I think the system there was XP or Win 2000 Professional but can't be 100% sure).
Regards KG
