How to stop getting junk mail on hotmail

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

  1. Report spam: Mark the junk email as spam by clicking the "Junk" button at the top of the email. This will help Hotmail's filters learn to recognize similar emails as spam.
  2. Use Hotmail's spam filters: Hotmail has a built-in spam filter that can help block junk emails. You can adjust the filter settings by going to Settings > More Mail Settings > Junk Email.
  3. Block senders: If you receive an email from a sender you don't want to hear from, you can block them by clicking the "Junk" button and then selecting "Block this sender."
  4. Use a third-party spam filter: Consider using a third-party spam filter like SpamAssassin or SpamSieve, which can help block junk emails before they reach your inbox.
  5. Unsubscribe from unwanted emails: If you receive an email from a company or organization you no longer want to hear from, look for an "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the email and click it. This will help reduce the amount of junk mail you receive.
  6. Use a disposable email address: Consider using a disposable email address like Mailinator or 10 Minute Mail, which can help you avoid getting junk mail in your primary email account.
  7. Use a junk mail filter add-on: There are several add-ons available for Hotmail that can help filter out junk mail, such as Junk Mail Filter or Spam Filter.
  8. Report junk mail to Hotmail: If you receive an email that is not spam but is still being flagged as junk, you can report it to Hotmail by clicking the "Not Junk" button and selecting "Report this email as not junk."
  9. Use a secure email client: Consider using a secure email client like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird, which can help protect your email account from junk mail and other types of spam.
  10. Monitor your email account regularly: Regularly check your email account for junk mail and report any suspicious emails to Hotmail.

By following these steps, you can help reduce the amount of junk mail you receive on your Hotmail account.
