How do you stop spam e-mails from crowding your inbox? I have tried redirects, blocking domain and sender but still new ones keep emerging.

Can anyone please help?

I don't know who is your email service provider, but I only use Gmail now. There is no way to eliminate spam mail, junk mail and stupid sex mail. However, Gmail does a fantastic job in directing those to the spam folder and I don't even have to see them in my Inbox.

Part of the problem this happens is because we work online, we sign up for websites, we do offers and subscribe to websites. I did all these before, and I can barely look at my email account again. I ended up delete that account. Now, I won't do any of those things.

Yahoo mail is the worst!!! As soon as I have a NEW email account, I received spam right away even when I don't use it.

Try Gmail to see if it will help!

There's nothing you can do about it, but to mark it a spam or blocked the sender. Goodluck

I have the nightmare Hotmail and Yahoo. Gmail is better and I am quite okay with it.

You would be suprised to know that I haven't subscribed to the 90% of them though they tell me to unsubscribe if I wish not to get any mails from them. I even tried that option but after 2 months they are back!

Gmail is pretty good at sorting out the spam. You could also try a program like Thunderbird, which has adaptive spam filters. This means it learns from your actions, in other words, it updates its settings according to which messages you put in the spam folder (or remove from there). So, you could use Thunderbird to access your Gmail account, and end up with two layers of spam filtering!

I agree with jonjenkins.

If you're using gmail, select individual email senders and either delete or block them.

This way, you'll never get the annoying spam emails.

I fully agree with you on this. Whenever I use my email to sign up on a new website - spam gets in straight away!

I'm a yahoo user when it comes to email. All I do is click check on the spam email and then click on the spam icon and the email goes to the spam folder. Subsequent emails from the same sender would automatically place it in the spam folder.

Yeah but it is a pain to have to do this repeatedly everyday especially when you don't have the time.

I have a block on my email that catches all of the spam. it should be in your settings in your toolbox.

I'm sorry to say once they have your address its over. that's why you need more than one email address and treat it like you would your social security number. one address for junk email, site signups and non important things and one address for important mail. i recommend closing that email address if its not tied to a lot of crucial websites. make another account, forward all your email to it then delete your spam filled account
