| 53341 | 2002-06-09 03:38:00 | How do set up my clear.net email to avoid getting unsolicited messages. I have not used my clear.net account for some time - I've been in paradise - but I have been using it because of connection hassles with paradise. When I check clear via web mail, every day there are are many spam messages. I don't want to know where I can get a used car in USA, or where I can view live sex on stage - call me old fashioned - I just want the spam to stop. Any suggestions would be grateful. Interesting I don't get an spam via paradise, only clear.net Cheers |

Advantage here once set up you can preview your mail while still on the server, delete unwanted mail, return to sender and make it look as if you have a invalid account etc. If you use Outlook Express you could instead use rules as outlined below. If you are using Outlook Express you can set up rules, one of them is Delete from Server. Highlight the offending message, Click on Message - Create Rule From Message - that will open a box with three windows, the first window is ticked by default Where The Sender Is - go to the second window and tick Delete from Server - now the fun begins, in the third window is the senders address. If the address is yahoo, xtra, mailcity, or any other common web based mail, then just Ok the rule. If the address ends in something such as grouplotto.com or adultmail.com, then you can create a additional rule to further block mail from that site even if they change the first part of the address from freecar to freemoney. Place your mouse over the address, single left click the address, that will bring up a extra window, in the ADD line type in the address from and including the @, so for example type in @grouplotto.com and that will block other messages from that site as well. If you were to apply this to addresses for sites ending in yahoo for example, then you would also block all good senders from yahoo as well. Hope that helps you out. |

| 53343 | 2002-06-09 12:13:00 | if you use hotmail you enter your friends address or whatever and only those address can only come through to that folder. You have a separate folder for junk mail and you have the option of the junk mail being automatically deleted. It saves sifting through the crap you get sent all the time. | Guest (0) | ||
