The eternal struggle against spam!

Yes, many email providers and email clients offer features to automatically delete emails identified as spam. Here are a few ways to do it:

  2. Yahoo Mail: Go to your Yahoo Mail settings, then click on "Filters" and create a new filter. Choose "Spam" as the folder to move emails to, and select "Delete" as the action.
  3. Outlook.com: Enable the "Spam filtering" feature in your Outlook.com settings. You can also create a rule to move emails from specific senders or with specific keywords to the "Junk Email" folder.

Email Clients:

  1. Microsoft Outlook: Enable the "Junk Email Filter" in your Outlook settings. You can also create a rule to move emails from specific senders or with specific keywords to the "Junk Email" folder.
