Hi friends, When i do login to my email account i find more than 200 new mails every day all are junkmail most of the time.Its really annoying me i feel to just loout from my email account or take time to delete all unwanted mail from inbox. I don'thave patience to just read once even all mails so i just go through the sender names and delete all unknown mails which i find junk mail. How do you respond to the huge new mails everyday in your inbox ? please share your comment here!!

You have obviously given your email address to many "money making" sites (you name tells me that!). Well, so have I... but I created another email account specifically for this purpose. You should do the same for future signups and log in to the account on a regular basis to see if there is mail which is useful. For your current account, first check whether your spam filter is on. Apart from that I can suggest nothing more than meticulously marking the unwanted messages as spam so that in the future these mails don't reach your inbox.

P.S. == I personally think that Gmail's spam filter is much better than any other's. I myself have close to 40 spam messages in my spam folder but none in my inbox.

Strangely, I've never had much of a problem with junk mail. Maybe it's because I'm young, but I don't think the Internet has much discretion to age. I employ an old technique to further minimize my spam. I have a couple email accounts, some of which are dedicated to specifically attracting all my spam and nothing else. It's quite useful. I'd also suggest getting Gmail. They have one of the best spam filters out there, in my opinion.

I was recently having the same problem especially with Spam email, however I did find out recently that depending on who your internet provider is, they are conducting a new project where no matter what you look at on the internet they will the send you email links and stuff to websites of the same nature. This really annoyed me because it is not enough that I already have pleanty of junk mail, i now find my internet provider helping these people get through to me when I dont want them to. Lets face it I may have had a quick look at a website to do with kids toys but that does not meen I want to hear from every website that sells these things.

I don't know if you post your email address anywhere, but spambots will pick it up in a heartbeat if you have it posted in your profile or on a message forum. Also, be careful what you sign up for, because a lot of sites will sign you up for mailing lists or sell your email address. Make sure to check the 'no, don't sign me up or send me information' button, if there is one, when you go to these sites. Don't just delete the spam, either. You should mark it as spam, if your client has that feature, or forward it to your ISP and they'll take care of it. Spam stinks! I wish you luck.
