I just had to make a new email address since the other one was so spammed up, and now whenever I sign up for stuff I use the old one in case it leads to more spam. It works pretty well and my new one barely gets any junk messages now.

I used to get juk email until I switched to another email address.

ryuugitsune 08-08-2008 04:40 PM

I just delete them, no point in getting annoyed, i think...

Egh, because of Junk mail, i've got over 1k worth of emails in my inbox, which i should really delete >>'
basically, i ignore them, and just try to see if i got any worthwhile mail
i do have a junk/spam box, but for senders it doesn't recognize, i just can't delete everything in that box, and have it disappear
having junk email doesn't bother me as much as the same telemarketers who keep calling, at least 5 times a day ><
that never used to happen, and i don't know why it is now
i can say this, i don't read much mail, electronic, or airmail, so it just adds up, somewhere that is not of my concern aka my inbox
i rarely search for emails :'D

I had to completely delete my old e-mail address and create a new one because I was so flooded with spam every single day.

I try not to put my e-mail address in fishy websites like, human for sale and things like that, because they WILL use your e-mail address and send you crap.

I don't get as much as I used to, but I still get some, and it's annoying.

I just delete it. :|

So annoying.

I never get junk emails, but recently a ton of people keep calling my cell phone about getting out of debt and car warranties. I have no clue who they are and it's not related to me at all. >__> But they keep calling and annoying the heck out of me.

Marguerite Blakeney 08-08-2008 05:16 PM

God...I've been having to log into Yahoo and keep check-marking all the mail that IS spam. My spam folder's gotten pretty large because of it, so I reckon that my filter's working. It annoyed me beforehand coz all I'd do is delete it and they'd just keep on coming. So I love my spam filter.

Just one more thing to say...

Junk mail = Phail

Sweet Lime 08-10-2008 04:44 AM

It doesn't really bother me, I just mass delete it when I can be bothered.

Mivaelianyn 08-10-2008 04:51 AM

I have 20-something pages of junk mail in my hotmail account.. I get them daily but I'm so sick of them that I just ignore them altogether after getting junk mail for so long. I don't even delete them now because it's hard to keep up with them when I get SO MUCH junk mail and I don't check my mail that often to be able to clean it out daily. :/

psyrien 08-10-2008 05:02 AM

My filters are pretty good, so all the spam just ends up in the spam folder. I pop in there every so often to check that it's all just spam. So far it's been alright.

stereojunks 08-10-2008 05:03 AM

i hate spam with a passion

diehly 08-10-2008 06:23 AM

I get anywhere for four to six hundred spam mails a day I have yahoo so they let you chech all and delete but it still takes forever to delete them all.

Vickicat 08-10-2008 06:39 AM

Spam.
 
I dislike getting spam mail, but sometimes it's entertaining for me. I'll go to my spam folder on Gmail and look through the subjects of all the spam and get a good laugh... It's even better if I've got friends at the computer with me who I can point out the funniest emails to. Most of them are ads for Viagra or penis enlargement, and those are usually the funniest, because of the wording they use to tell you about their product. And some of the junk emails have one weird thing in the subject, and then inside it's about a totally different thing which is also rather weird. Those can be funny sometimes depending on what two things they are talking about. So yeah... And at least with Gmail it's easy to delete them all at once. On AOL it's not so fun, I have to highlight each individual one and delete it.

Kah Hilzin-Ec 08-10-2008 06:44 AM

Two days without internet, and when I come back I have 111 mails. 100 of them notifications from Menewsha! XD!
Done erasing them like 6 minutes ago ^^; I seriously need to kill some suscriptions....

PS: 1000 in a week?! Sheesh Naomi! @[email protected]

Eclipse 08-10-2008 06:48 AM

Usually i don't get them, but recently i got a few. I'm always afraid of them being vulgar or having viruses so i just ignore them.

Starshine 08-10-2008 06:48 AM

I hate junk mail, whether they come in my mailbox or in my email.

I love slapping on the "block email" button, and I have a bin next to my mailbox for all junkmail XD

heartpoint 08-10-2008 06:59 AM

I dislike junk mail but at least i don't get much not like my mom who get 50 junk emails a day and pervy ones people randomly send.

Joico 08-10-2008 07:04 AM

I am very annoyed by junk e-mails. I get wayy too many every day and I find it very hard to get past all the junk and find the good e-mails. I do block them but I also have to check and make sure nothing good gets deleted. I try to be very careful with who I give my e-mail too that way they don't sell it to a add company.

Angel Naomi 08-21-2008 06:15 PM

I've fallen for one of the phishing sites sent to my junk mail once =_= it was an ebay scam e-mail and I clicked on it and actually put in my login info. Luckily, I realized once I hit the submit button and I went immediately to the REAL ebay and changed my info and reported the site and e-mail. I hate junk/scam e-mails D<

Sadistix_Love 08-21-2008 06:35 PM

I get over 20 each frikkin day!! And they are those "You win a million bucks!". >> I always have to check my spam folder because it may contain something important. >>

Sforzando 08-21-2008 07:42 PM

I actually fear that my not junk mail will get put in the spam box and i will accidetnyl delete it. but i usually just delete the box anyway. I hate how when I leave my mail account alone for a couple days i come back to like 1000 spam.

Yosono 08-22-2008 11:10 PM

I don't get a whole lot of junk-emails for some reason.
I also don't really mind them too much, I think they are irritating, but it's the nature of the beast...the internet is a public place and people will find ways to find you and try to sell you stuff.
I think I would be irritated with junk mail if it were actual physical mail in my mailbox, but because it is email, going to an email address, I don't mind it since people only have my email address and not my physical one...whatever the nonsense is means a lot less to me because my identity is generally not known, just my email.

If I start to get a lot of repeated junk mail from the same address, I just put that address on my block or filter list and that keeps it out of the inbox all together. ^^ It's really nice to have.

flowerpuff 08-23-2008 08:53 PM

I don't get any actually, but I used to, and it was very agravating, I used to just delete them on the spot and sometimes deleted letters from friends, so it was even more annoyng.
