Part of an e-mail I got.

How can I stop these??

And no, I don't want to change email addresses or anything.
 
**** you, underage piece of shit. Don't make a stupid thread and then be a total ****ing dickwad when I give you a serious piece of advice. Get a gmail account you annoying little twat, or shut your cock sucker.

Okay, he shouldn't of said what he did... but that was a little much Pesh.

To the original poster... you either have to learn how to master your spam filters in the program you use to check mail... or you have to deal with it. Or you can do like Pesh said, and get a new e-mail address... which is what I had to do because I kept getting too much spam on my verizon one.

So far my gmail account has been very good at keeping out the spam.
 
I agree with Pesh, if only because it was hilarious.

Srsly, Gmail is win.

Why don't you just piss off?
 
Ladies. Pesmerga - don't be an arse.

In reply to the OP, try Thunderbird to recieve your email. It has very good adaptive spam filters that throw everything into a junk folder or simply deletes it. Or you can always create your own filter to delete emails with paricular subject lines or content. It takes a few minutes to setup but the benefits are worth it.
 
Wouldn't it be awesome if there was some sort of reverse filter that blocked all mails that didn't contain a certain word? D:
 
Personally I block any emails containing the words "do some work", "I need this doing", "could you please...", "where the hell are you and why aren't you doing any work?".
 
I get 8 mails a week telling me I need bigger equipment. I collect it for a while to marvel at the number and then bulk delete. :D

I've been trying to get my thunderbird to work for me for well over a year now. It identifies spam based on how I mark it... but it doesn't do what I tell it to do.
 
Gmail has a good filtering system. You should consider switching.

It's great for getting insurance company e-mails pumped.
 
Gmail is honestly the best I've used. Everything about it. I get quite a bit of spam and it rarely falls into the wrong folder. Hotmail is 2000 and before. I remember using it when I first got an internet connection and a couple of years after. Guess what, there is choice now and hotmail isn't the best by any stretch. In fact yahoo and gmail are rated above it.
 
Gmail. Gmail. Gmail.
 
You use hotmail and are complainging about spam and don't want to switch? Seriously?

No, I use Hotmail.

Just using webmail doesn't make you a n00b. :)

I use it too. However, using hotmail makes you a n00b. See if you can find some better webmail sites with better filtering.

I'm not sure if Thunderbird or gmail works for webmail accounts as it's POP3 SMTP client software I believe. I don't do POP3 at home. :p

I'm sure you earned yourself some infractions there Pes. Nice work! :thumbs:
 
I use live mail and rarely get spam. The junk folder works fine.

Magets.
 
I wish Gmail would just delete/block all the spam messages instead of saving them in that spam folder for 30 days (-no- spam gets into my actual inbox though)... it bothers me just to see how much I would be getting. :p
 
That sounds legit to me, I mean I know if I wanted to transfer funds to another country to help with my wife's surgery, I would randomly email people until somebody finally agreed to hold my funds.

That definitely is the wisest thing to do.
 
I've been using Gmail for years. I honestly can't remember the last time I received spam. Yea, it's that good.
 
I use Gmail and I seldom have a problem with spam. Then again I don't take much notice of a vast majority of my e-mails!!!
 
Gmail blocks around 250 spam messages a month for me. Ive been using it since it was invite only and i can only remember one time where I got a spam message in my inbox.
 
I've used Gmail for 3 years and have never seen spam in my inbox.

It's also the best webmail I have ever used - you can access your mail on dialup without waiting for an eternity. You have as much storage as you could possibly want. No obtrusive ads at all. Simple, slick interface. And it's integrated with chat so you can get notifications of new mail when you run Google talk. And finally, if you have broadband you can use the extra space to store your files using the Gdrive program!

The only issue is privacy...are you comfortable with Google owning ALL your personal data? (Google search, Orkut, Gmail, Google Docs etc.)
 
Gmail completely destroys spam, is the shit and what not.
