It’s amazing how fast your email or spam folder can fill up. If you are tired of unwanted emails or emptying your spam folder every day, here are a few suggestions to get less spam:
- Use a filter: Most email providers have a built in spam filter. If your filter is not effective, you can buy a program which is more sensitive to spam emails and blocks most of them. Two popular spam filters are MailWasherPro and SpamFighterPro.
- Unsubscribe: Make sure to unsubscribe to all unwanted, non-threatening emails. This will prevent unwanted email from that website as well as prevent your email from being accessed by other companies associated with that one.
- Change email: If you can’t seem to control the spam on your email account, change email addresses and/or providers. Some providers have better email blockers. Certain providers such as Gmail have a better reputation for recognizing and sorting spam.
- Block: To get rid of unwanted spam, block the sender and/or the server. This prevents them from sending you any unwanted email.
- Report: You can report unwanted emails to your email provider. Many providers take this seriously and try to stop the companies from sending spam email to their users.
These suggestions may not eliminate all unwanted emails, but will definitely make a difference in the amount you receive.
