Spam how to stop it - linked with outlook?
Dec 12th, 2004 at 8:17pm
 
Recently I have just started to get spam in my yahoo account and compared to previously (which was none existent) it's so annoying! Has anyone else notice sudden frequent spam in yahoo? They are spam about  "re: your document"  and other similar subjects.

I did find that a few years back when I put all my email accounts through Microsoft Outlook I received spam in my hotmail account.

Is there a conspiricy between Microsoft Outlook and spam so that when you register email accounts you get more spam?

Anyone that can suggest a way to stop bogus spam I'd be grateful... xx

Try Thunderbird. It comes with a spam filter. Works great.

I am starting to get @ 5/day in my gmail account.  They are of a type I have never recieved in my other accounts.  Gmail catches, and puts in the Spam folder, 2 or 3 of the 5.  Spammers picked up on my Gmail account very fast - I am getting practically zero spam messages in my SBC account, which I started at about the same time.

Spam, guess I will just have to learn to live with it.
