Change your spam protection so that you can only receive messages from people in your address book. If you're using Yahoo, you'll want to turn on  your spam filter (do this in options) and set it as high as it can go.

Don't worry! This is easy to fix. When you clicked "Spam," the message went into your Spam folder.\n\n1. Open the Spam folder by clicking it in the folder list on the left of the page \n2. Click the message that you marked spam by mistake. \n3. Click the "Not Spam" button along the top of the window.\n\nDone! Ahhhh, sigh of relief.

Download a little program called Mailwasher. When you have mailwasher on your system set it up to your account that is getting hit with spam. After you have done all that check your mail. Also in the program you can delete any e-mails before they are sent to your mail program. Click on the link below to learn more about this cool little program and there is also the free download on that site.  Good Luck...

Turn you spam on in your e-mail preferences.  When you receive mail in your inbox that is spam - put a check mark by it and click the spam button.  You will never get rid of spam.  Give your e-mail only to people and businesses your trust.  Never reply to select the unsubscribe, you are only confirming they reached a good account.

Mark them as spam or block the email.

You can report it if you want, but if you don't care then you can just delete it.  Everyone gets SPAM.  The Federal Trade Commission deals with unsolicited commercial emails.  Your state government probably also has an agency that deals with this.  You could contact your police department as well.

1-select those spam emails.check mark them.click on spam button.\n2-many spam emails have an unsubscribe link at the bottom.these emails are from websites that added your email address in their list.you can remove your address from their list by unsubscribing.\n3-another spam emails are emails from a special email address that you can go to email options (top right of your page)and block that address,and it wont come in bulk folder.\n4-the last thing that you can do is going to email option,then filter,and filter emails with specific sender,subjects,containing some word and .... and select moving those emails directly too trash

if you receive too many e-mails I would recommend you to change your e-mail address. If you open a Yahoo account use every tool to prevent spam since the beginning. \nAddress Guard (yahoo) is excellent for that. \nA couple of years ago I had the same problem, 200 mails daily.

Most of the spam-mail that people get is from advertising groups that get your E-mail address from something you signed up for. In almost all cases these groups have a link at the bottom of their E-mails that will remove your E-mail address from their contact list. It's an End-User contract agreement, so you have to do what they say exactly. If they want you to send them a blank E-mail to remove you from their list, make sure the E-mail is blank! No subject, no content, blank. Most of them won't be that tricky, though. Usually, all you'll have to do is type in your E-mail address and press send. All this is regulated by the government, so you should feel pretty safe that you'll be removed. \n\nWikipedia also has suggestions for stopping spam:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-mail_spam#Avoiding_spam\n\nHope that helps!!\n\n-Scratch @ http://www.somethingslacking.com/

Legally there is no current legislation preventing junk e-mail.  The most effective way to prevent it is to not give out any personal information online at all (unless absolutely neccesary through a trusted sight) and especially never your e-mail adress.  PLUS and this is a must, always always always mark your spam as spam.  report it to the e-mail server.  there should be a button to click when you open an e-mail that says flag as spam or report spam.  click it.  if you're getting a great deal of spam despite a spam blocker, report it to your e-mail provider.

There are a few other things you can do to help your cause...\n\n- When someone manages to sneak spam past the Yahoo spam filters, make sure to click the This Is Spam button. This really does help.\n- If you have trouble with false positives, and mail you want to receive being delivered to your Bulk folder, maintain your Address Book so Yahoo knows who you trust.

You can't really stop spam.\n\nYou can get a better filter, but it may filter out some "good" messages (from family, friends, companies that need to send you information on warranties, recalls, rebates, etc.)\n\nThe best idea is to get a new email address, make it hard to guess (not the same as any other email account you see anywhere), be more careful who you give it to. Then open another email address to use when you register with various sites on the web, such as news sites, ESPN, etc., that you don't care if you ever hear from. maybe you can use your current email address as your secondary address, since it's already attracting spam.
