Are you using gmail? Are you tired of getting spam? Here's one simple way to prevent getting emails from a selected source if your using gmail. First, log in to your account and then click on the undesired email. Scroll over and click on the drop down arrow.
Select Filter Messges Like This.
Select Create Filter With This Search.
Now it's time to choose how you want to filter future emails from this sender. I've selected to delete all future emails like this one and from this sender. Done!
There's got to be a way to do just that from other e-mail providers. We use earthlink. I'm going into it and see if I can figure it out. Thank you. Subscribed.
Greg...I have a few gmail accounts that could use a good dusting and a cleaning, thanks Buddy.
Now this is useful! I've created filter before but never for SPAM. Usually Gmail is pretty good at keeping SPAM down but this will let me filter that last few that get through.
Hi I'm here to get my 20% off steak dinner. Thanks for the info I checked my spam yesterday on gmail and had 384 messages. Filters seem to be working pretty well.
Yay Cindy!
Bryan, it's actually more for those new people you meet at networking functions who put you on a drip email or something. Ick!
Doug, haha! As Bob Barkers side kick used to yell... "Come on down!" Next time you're in Houston call me!
Steve, you bet!
Chris & Dick, when you find out let us know!
Greg...how timely since I may be moving over to GMail from Yahoo. I'll have to learn something new. Last time I tried GMail I hated it!
Fabulously HELPFUL!!! 1,000 Thank You's friend! I'm more of a Yahoo gurl but I'm sure they have something similar and I'm going to share this with all of GMail friends/clients!
Fantastic! Thanks for the tip...I've already gone in and taken care of a few that have been bugging me!
I think I've got something like 1500+ in Spam right now. I get a couple of streakers every now and then though.
That's a great how to blog Greg. I enjoy filtering out unwanted emails... I guess I don't have much of a life!
Thanks for the tip Gregg... I am going to check that out on my GMail account.
Thanks so much Greg. I've recently started to use gmail for our business (most don't know the email addy), so I don't get a ton of spam, but just starting to get some, so this will help.
Great timing on this. I have an entire e-mail account that I can't even look at anymore because of all the notifications.
Greg, why didn't you tell me this earlier? I love using gmail, and having all the different folders and stuff, but I didn't know about this. Thanks.
