Your email client should have a spam filter. Log into your account and use Help to find out about it. Make sure that it is turned on and, in future, most spam mails will be directed to the Spam or Junk folder. Any that do get through to the Inbox can be selected and marked as spam (there should be a button or menu selection to do that easily and quickly).

What I know of is the even though you have on the spam filter, you will still get those spam mail into your spam folder, is there anyway we can totally blog some know email that we do not want to receive at all? So far I still do not know any email provider like yahoo have this function. Or maybe it has, but I just don't know how to enable it. Hope those expert in mylot can show me how to do it...I hate spam mail. I have to delete it everyday and it make my inbox full of rubbish!

By directly suing the senders of the spam emails and by making their life hard by sending them to either in jail or to the gulliotine!!

Even though web based e-mail clients today have their spam protection security there are still other precautionary measures you could take to avoid spam emails. One big rule to avoid this is not to give your email address just to anyone else. One technique you could do is to have a multiple email account. One set of email address could be your personal email add which only your friends, family, and relatives can have. Another set for your business or work. Lastly, a set of email address for your other extra curricular activities. Like sign ups on newsletters or trial offers. This set will be where most of spam emails will enter. I hope that will help you. :)
