How to get rid of american junk mail on hotmail

The never-ending battle against junk mail! Here are some steps to help you reduce or eliminate American junk mail on your Hotmail account:

  1. Opt-out of pre-screened credit offers: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) allows you to opt-out of receiving pre-screened credit offers for five years. You can do this by visiting the FTC's website (www.ftc.gov) and following the instructions.
  2. Register with the Direct Marketing Association (DMA): The DMA is a trade association that represents the direct marketing industry. You can register with them to opt-out of receiving mail from their member companies. Visit their website (www.dmaconsumers.org) and follow the instructions.
  3. Use the National Do Not Mail List: The National Do Not Mail List is a free service that allows you to opt-out of receiving junk mail from companies that are members of the Direct Marketing Association. You can register by visiting their website (www.41p.org).
  4. Report junk mail to the USPS: The United States Postal Service (USPS) has a system in place to help reduce junk mail. You can report junk mail to the USPS by visiting their website (www.usps.com) and filling out their online form.
  5. Use a junk mail filter: Many email providers, including Hotmail, offer junk mail filters that can help reduce the amount of spam and junk mail you receive. You can enable these filters by going to your Hotmail account settings and looking for the "Junk Email" or "Spam" filter.
  6. Mark junk mail as spam: When you receive junk mail in your Hotmail inbox, mark it as spam by clicking the "Mark as spam" button. This will help Hotmail's algorithms learn to recognize and filter out similar emails in the future.
  7. Use a third-party junk mail filter: There are many third-party junk mail filters available that can help reduce the amount of junk mail you receive. Some popular options include SpamAssassin, SpamSieve, and Cloudmark.
  8. Consider using a disposable email address: If you're concerned about receiving junk mail, you can consider using a disposable email address. These are temporary email addresses that can be used for a specific purpose and then discarded.

By following these steps, you should be able to reduce the amount of American junk mail you receive on your Hotmail account.
