velvet paws Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 no, i used to but thankfully it seems that i get very little junk mail now. Only about 3/4 pieces a week :eek: :D Only prob at the mo is..as well as the usual p0rn advertisments that everyone gets...I've been getting random e-mails about getting some graduate thingy and I'm like "ey go away. I've had 5 of the exact same e-mail in the last 2 weeks and I don't even know how u go my address and I wont be more likely to look at it the more u send it to me! :flaming: " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velvet paws Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 yea...well adding my 2 pence ne way... I had to leave my current e-mail address ages ago because I had 15 junk mail everyday and several people on MSN that wouldn't leave me alone not matter how much a blocked them..they just made a new address or got a mate to harrass me..then someone sent me 500 of the same e-mail..so I just gave up and left it for 4/5 months. Told only my mates the new address. After the time was up I came back to this one and cleared everything out and now it's okay again and I still have room to block a few people if I need to. Maybe you could do something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 [FONT=century gothic]I had that problem at hotmail, as well. Drove me crazy. My solution? I got a new email, and didn't give it out to anyone but friends and family. I use the old email for instances when an email address is required to sign up for something or activate an account somewhere, or whatnot. That way I don't end up with any commerical emails in my "good" inbox.[/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Saiyaman Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 [b][size=1]It is the same thing with Yahoo!. I get like 30 emails in my Bulk a day.

Cibo Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 I have outlook express also. And since I have a cable modem...I get NO spam what so ever. As far as MSN goes...might go to msn.com or download.com for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan L Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 I used to get loads o spam on my old yahoo adress... to the point that one day it wouldn't let me in cos there was so much mail I exceeded my limit. And of course, if I can't get in, I can't delete it, so I just gave up on that address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BabyGirl Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 [color=deeppink]AOL is the same way...I get so much junkmail. I did have my hotmail address as the one for people from the boards to contact me, but I couldn't access that at home so I changed it to my AOL address.

Lady Macaiodh Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 gah. i get so much junk mail it's ridiculous. i started blocking solicitations, but they just sent it again from a different address! i'm about ready to get a new e-mail address. but i've had my current one for so long, i don't want to give it up. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinnyLyn Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 [COLOR=chocolate]It can be a serious pain in the tail to sign up for a new one, 'cause I'm running out of ideas for s/ns and p/ws. Given the fact that I work for the Otaku on one address and the other one is my, as Cera said, sign up address, I'm loaded with the stuff. There was something going around where the user's email started with "_" and that's technically not a viable address. They were also all with the same attachement--it was a--get this--exe.txt. Obviously a virus of sorts. They wouldn't stop emailing no matter how many times I blocked them, so I finally took it all to Hotmail itself and screamed a few times. Well, not really...just politely asked them to get this crappola to stop. Which it finally has. Luckily, Hotmail now has this new feature where if you block someone, you can choose to block the "@whatever.com" part. (No good for stuff like @aol.com or @hotmail.com, though...)[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
