Download and install email notification software such as PopTray (http://www.poptray.org/) to delete the spam off the server prior to retrieving your emails. 3. Change your email address to something less common. |

(Better still, don't use the Xtra email address, except as your login to your Xtra account - this will make you ISP-independent, so when you want to change ISP, your contacts won't even know - and you won't have to let your contacts know what your new email address is!). GMail has a very good spam filter - I could count on one hand the number of spam messages I have received via GMail in the last 4 years. |
