Yes, I open and just check for some good misplaced mails. I just see the subject and the sender. From doing so we can understand what is good and what is bad.

Not every time, but when I am expecting some important emails then I check the spam file too, because they get into the spam file sometimes. I want to be sure I don't miss them.

hello sutanhartanto, how are you doing? to answer your question, i rarely open my spam mails coz i know they are really spam. i dont get much email from friends and family and i make sure they are on my list so they all goes to my inbox. i know there are times that a few emails goes to my spam BUT it is because it is not really an email but just an automated emails from places they signed up and they want me to participate as well and those i dont care at all so i just delete them. i hate opening my spam coz they are hundreds of them in a day and i dont understand why others even bother to send it when they know it is deleted by most - automatically. oh well, something that makes me frown LOL takecare

i guess, most spammers thinks that there is always someone who will fall to their email. i know it is common in asian country, as the spammers thinks that it is easy for them to fool someone who is not having much money which is terrible coz they are fooling those who dont have much in life. wish they just fool those who really have money. some bad people i guess. mylot usually goes to my spam in the beginning but i fixed my preferences on my mail and it is working no problem. i think there is always a way to fix it just give it sometime to look up. anyway, my pleasure to be here. takecare!

Yes, definitely! I get the important emails in there most days. What really makes me frustrated is sometimes even the ones that are in my address book get put in my junk box. I got an e mail from my daughter one time that got put in the junk file just because she was excited that she'd sold a piece of jewelery or something and the subject was "I made a sale!".

Sure I do. I cannot stand something in my spam folder lol. So what I do is to clear it every time something gets in. I would just run a quick glance to make sure everything is definitely spam before deleting.

Yes I open my spam folder when I check my mail cos sometimes that's where my subscribed newsletter goes instead of the inbox although most of the time, my spam folder are just full of that, SPAM. I hate it. Remember the discussion I made here months ago? Regarding the FreeLotto stuff? If not, I joined FreeLotto without any thoughts of it being a huge scam, until they kept sending me e-mails (via spam) saying that I won $3,000,000.00 or $300 or $300,000. The $300 would've been believable. Well, anyway I unsubscribed days after. I haven't received any messages from them for a couple of days then after, they just keep on bombarding me again! I keep unsubscribing but with no luck. They say I am unsubscribed already and stuff but no. Grrrr.

hi marababe, i know how annoyed you are. you are likely trapped in their list. i don't know if there is a feature in your account that you can block certain emails from reaching your inbox and spam folder. thx for responding

yes i do check the spam folder also, but mostly i as you said it will contain all rubbish links, about quick rich programs..i don't know how they get my mail id. I take a close look at these mails.. and unless i find something interesting i open it to read, otherwise, i simply delete all these without reading.
