How to get rid of spams in hotmail ?

[windows_user]

In the past, I got a junk-mail in my inbox. It was stupid and signed up on a page I really do not know quite what was, and after it has become junk-mail every day (think at least that may be the reason). Is there any good way to get out of all this mail? Is there any featured spam filter?

I am aware of the fact that hotmail certainly not the one who is best to filter out spam, but I do not have other than this address for a while, and all my contacts know that I use this address, will only find other solutions than to byte address.

Amazingly annoying having to delete about 20 e-mails in a day, manually. If someone could offer some help?

Well, the spam filter of Gmail is very good. If you go over to Gmail, you can forward all your emails/contacts etc from hotmail account to Gmail. It is also possible to send emails with Hotmail account from Gmail.

Hotmail will soon be coming with POP3 support if you do not have it all. Then you can set up a gmail account which can pick the hotmail mails for you. Gmail has a great spam filter sectors.

It is however not certain that you will be called regular spam since you have registered. The gmail marks only the messages as spam, even if they are annoying. Then they end up in the spam box on subsequent occasions.

If you want a better web based account use Yahoo. They do a MUCH better job with unsolicited mail. Also never put your email address in forms or when you sign up for things except when absolutely necessary.

There is no single way to stop spam, nor is any email account bullet-proof from it. Spammers will always be there, and it’ll just be a matter of time before a new email account gets bombarded with it. The most effective way to get rid of spam is to make spammers’ tasks in obtaining your email address difficult.

To make your email address hard to find, you must avoid posting your email on free-to-access websites. It is common to have more than one email address today, so simply make an extra one and use it when signing up for services. Avoid using your work or personal email address. Create a new email account using free email providers like Gmail, Yahoo!, or Hotmail. As a general rule, never open or even REPLY to spam messages.
