Junk Email.

Mass junk email is slipping through my inbox on hotmail everyday, like 30+ emails. Most likely from the same company. About 10 of each email are identical with them advertising things like grants, optical express etc. How do I get rid of this :(

All emails like this should have an opt-out in the small print at the bottom of the email?

If they don't have an opt out, basically, you're buggered.

i don't even bother deleting them i just leave them lol

Does Hotmail not have a filter system yet, like you get with Gmail?

[PaulMacC]

They are all different emails. Yeah they have an opt out button but do you think each email is from the same company?

Just keep using the opt out button on various e-mails until the stream of spam slows down or stops, if not, I'd suggest changing addresses and not putting your e-mail address on any dodgy sites :P

This is my main email for everything though.

mark them as junk and eventually they will all filter into the junk folder on your e-mail, try changing settings to see if you can add certain domains to a whitelist and the rest blacklist straight to junk, I'm pretty sure hotmail can do that

Sometimes the opt-out thing on emails isnt really an opt out, it just lets them know they have hit a real person!

My junk on hotmail has went up considerably since they changed to this new version (with Microsoft SmartScreen) - A lot more junk is ending up in my inbox, all I can really suggest is just keep marking the emails as junk and hope they get filtered.

This happened to me on my old email address so I made a new one. I get these sort of emails on my dj email msn but it doesn't bother me because I know there's no point checking in there xD

I have like my own domain email for my main accounts, and a hotmail one for dodgy sites. I cleared all my hotmail inbox yesterday, and today i go on and ive got 200+ emails. Thing is, they are in idenitcal batches of about 10, so like 10 of the same email sent at the same time. its really annoying :@

I was just thinking this.

Only true way to stop spam is to get a new address.
