Junk mail coming to inbox

The frustration of junk mail cluttering up your inbox!

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

  1. Unsubscribe from unwanted emails: Look for unsubscribe links at the bottom of unwanted emails and click on them to stop receiving future emails from that sender.
  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 provider to automatically sort or delete emails from specific senders or with specific keywords.
  4. Use a junk mail filter: Some email providers, like Gmail, offer built-in junk mail filters. You can also use third-party filters like SpamAssassin or SpamSieve.
  5. Report junk mail: If an email is particularly annoying or contains malware, report it to your email provider or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
  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 spam-blocking browser extension: Browser extensions like uBlock Origin or NoCoin can help block spam emails and other unwanted content.
  9. Use a secure email provider: Consider using a secure email provider like ProtonMail or Tutanota, which prioritize security and privacy.
  10. Regularly clean out your inbox: Regularly go through your inbox and delete or archive emails you no longer need. This can help keep your inbox organized and reduce clutter.

Remember, it's essential to stay vigilant and take steps to protect your email address from spam and junk mail.
