| 730895 | 2008-12-19 04:50:00 | Change your email address. You have obviously not been very careful how you manage it so start fresh. |

| 730896 | 2008-12-19 04:53:00 | Or install a program that can delete them / blacklist domains | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 730897 | 2008-12-19 09:15:00 | If you research all the advice available on the interweb the conclusion should be; 1. Change to using a Gmail email address - nothing else comes close. 2. If you also want to use an email client to retrieve your Gmails then use a smart one like Thunderbird but there are no doubt other clients that would be ok .. and the added advantage of Gmail is that its web based so you can change your ISP anytime without having to change your email address. |

| 730900 | 2008-12-19 10:07:00 | 1) Get new email address. 2) Don't give it to any person or website who you don't trust, and don't post it on any website/chatroom etc or included on any files that may end up on the internet and don't send or receive chain emails, don't get viruses OR Stick with your current address, turn on your spam filter (if you got one), and then have fun checking the spam folder every day in case it trashed something useful (which defeats the entire point) On a side note; Mailwasher is a very good program and may prove useful to you |

| 730902 | 2008-12-19 18:56:00 | Yep Gmail gets my vote.Don't remember the last spam I saw. And you can have as many accounts as you like. Fantastic. Or you can use Mailwasher to sort out your current problem. |

| 730903 | 2008-12-19 19:08:00 | I just used poptray and add a list of domains to its blacklist . Havent received spam for 4-5 yrs+ . And I can see when I get email, since it checks every 5 mins . If there's email, I can see it in the taskbar . And its free . |
