my trash settings are set to "exclusive", so its not supposed to let any junk mail get to my inbox. well, everyday I get 2-3 junk emails in my inbox. is there any way to stop this? I don't use hotmail that much, but it is annoying.
yeah..i dont use it that much...guess its a habit to check it, i rarely get emails from anyone i know anymore. is their a way to cancel that account? so when someone i do know writes it, it will say there is no account?
i'm thinking you can set up an automatic reply to that addresses and if u dont check it within a span of 2 months ( not sure on the exact time), it will be deleted.
If you don't log in for 30 days your account is suspended and all e-mails are deleted. I don't know how long it takes before the account itself is deleted.
If you want to switch, send everyone in your Hotmail address book telling them your new addy and that you won't check the old one any more.
I've had the same address for 7-8 years now (I got in before Microsoft bought it) and the only spam I get in my In-Box (I have the junk mail set to exclusive as well) is when someone on my approved list has a virus.
