Getting junk mail in my inbox

The frustration of receiving junk mail in your inbox!

Here are some tips to help you reduce the amount of junk mail you receive:

  1. Unsubscribe from unwanted emails: Look for an "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the email and click on it. This will remove your email address from the sender's list.
  2. Mark as spam: Most email providers allow you to mark an email as spam. This helps your provider's algorithms learn to recognize similar emails as spam and block them in the future.
  3. Use filters: Set up filters in your email client to automatically move junk emails to a separate folder or delete them. You can also set up filters to block specific senders or keywords.
  4. Use a spam filter: Many email providers offer built-in spam filters. You can also use third-party spam filters like SpamAssassin or SpamSieve.
  5. Report junk mail to your provider: If you're receiving a lot of junk mail from a specific sender, report it to your email provider. They may be able to block the sender's emails or take other action.
  6. Use a disposable email address: Consider using a disposable email address or a temporary email address for online sign-ups or subscriptions. This can help keep your primary email address clean.
  7. Be cautious with online sign-ups: Be careful when signing up for newsletters, promotions, or services online. Make sure you read the fine print and understand what you're signing up for.
  8. Use a junk mail filter plugin: There are many plugins available that can help filter out junk mail, such as SpamSieve for Mac or SpamAssassin for Linux.
  9. Use a email client with good spam filtering: Some email clients, like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird, have built-in spam filtering capabilities.
  10. Consider using a paid email service: Some paid email services, like ProtonMail or Tutanota, offer advanced spam filtering and other security features.

Remember, it's always a good idea to be cautious when giving out your email address online and to regularly review your email settings to ensure you're not receiving unwanted emails.
