I am sitting infront of my system at this time and checking my emails to see if anything has been dropped which can help in furthering my online income.As i open my mail i discovered a lot fo junks ,so i decided to delete very unsolicited mail,i did this because if i answer some of the mails the sender automatically knows that the email account is active and will bombard me with more spam so i just delete,how often do empty your email box of all unrequested mails?

I always go through and delete all of my junk mail. I seem to get alot more of it every day. I cannot maximise my online earning time if I leave it in there altogether with my paid mails. I work with alot of sites every day but sometimes I think these junk mails come from getpaidto sites.

you are right about the junk mails coming also from the sites you are registered with ,it pisses me off to see som e funny mails that dont even have any relevance to my plans in my mail box,i dont even give such mails any chance before sending them out through my delete button

I do it once a week, BYOLA2871. I'm a pretty organized person so I don't want my mail clogged with spam mails, newsletters, request letters, etc. I put the important stuff in folders, reply to some of the e-mails, create drafs. It's like a 'duty' for me to do this every week, since I have neglected my e-mail before and suffered the consequences now.

Wow, you are quite impulsive. Try to be a bit calm. You should use the filter system of the mail you are using. It could filter the sites that send you spam mail.

I do this every day or every other day just to keep my inbox clean. It really is annoying to get unsolicited emails. There was one time when I haven't check my email for a couple of weeks, when I logged on to it I found almost about 600 unread messages (most of them spams) in my inbox 
. It was pretty time consuming sorting it all out. So now I've learned my lesson and check my e-mail everyday and get rid of these irritating spams.

you are right about that once you respond to spam you only confirm that your box is active ,the spam will thus come in tons

I try to empty everyday, or every other day. On one of my website. I get a lot of junk, so it is easy to go down the page and check to be deleted.

yes but consider how many beautiful minutes that will steal from you the best you could have done would be to use either your spam filter or whitelist every site you have registered with,it makes it easier for your mails from them to come straight into your box rather than into your spam or junk box

I don't even bothering looking at my junk mail. I use gmail, so spam emails are placed under Spam and it empties every 30 days.

I get a lot of spam mails too from many online money making scams that I have joined in the past one year. I never bother to read them once I know that it is a scam base on the email address of the sender. I use yahoo mail and I get a lot of these spams even after I have marked them as spams. I used to delete them everyday but I got fed up with it so now I am emptying my mailbox every month.

its okay to do that ,just like having a schedule for that job and its ok to also check the address to avoid important mails from being deleted

I get hundreds and hundreds of them, I did start to just delete them all once a day without checking them, especially when they are in the spam box, but then I found out I was deleting ones that I should not have done and so now I just have to go through them without opening them and see if I can see ones I need and then delete the rest. It takes me about an hour a day to go through all my emails, its very tedious.

i quite agree with you about taking time out to look at each of these mails without necessarily openeing them so that you dont delete the mails that you actually need,it may take time like you said but it will be worth it on the long run,keep it up my friend,i still do that myself,i just check the address of the sender and the name and the topic of the message then i can decide if its worth opening or not

Its an everyday thing here. I am constantly deleting crap. Sometimes I have more junk than anything else.

Unsolicited emails? We are all disturbed by them. It is common problem I think, and it is not difficult to hell them away!
