Which Hotmail client has the best spam blocker?
You really shouldn't need to purchase a separate spam blocker. All legitimate, popular e-mail clients now have their own spam blockers built in. If you are getting spam to your inbox, be sure to mark each piece "as spam" and the spam blocker will eventually filter out all similar pieces of mail.
What does spam mean in the email?
spam means email that keeps coming to you, that you dont approve of or want.
What company helps fight spam messages in your inbox?
Anti-Spam (a Yahoo company) was created and put in place to attempt to help keep one's inbox from being filled with spam. While it can be effective many e-mails still require the user to mark them as spam the first time one is received from that particular address.
What is the best way to treat 'spam' or unsolicited emails?
You can choose to use the spam filter in your email. In yahoo, place a check mark in the box corresponding to the message you'd like to report as spam then click the SPAM button on the top menu bar next to the FORWARD button. The steps are similar to move a message to your spam folder in gmail except you click the icon on the menu bar that's the shape of a folder, the list will expand and you can select spam. Another option is to block the sender or domain. Also you can click the link to unsubscribe but I would only do that if you know that it's not a virus/malware infected message. Be sure that it isn't something you've subscribed to because in that case, you will continue to receive the messages. Almost every email program as well as online email provider has spam options. Usually when you mark a message as spam, your email program will then start to recognize the format of those messages and will mark them as spam in the future for you. Those are just some of the options available.
What are the most recommended ways to stop receiving spam emails?
There are many ways to stop spam email. The first is not to open them as some contain HTML codes to let the sender know that the emailaccount is active, this can then generate more spam. Secondly, some spam emails contain a link to unsubscribe, never click on this as once again this lets the sender know that the account is active. Thirdly, most email providers allow users to mark spam email as 'spam', this helps them to prevent 'spammers' from continuing to send spam emails by bouncing the emails back to them. Finally, there is software available such as Cactus Spam Blocker which can be downloaded for free and helps to reduce spam.
