I use abine which allows me to subscribe with a disposable,randomly generated
email address. so insted of using the unsubscribe link i just hit the "block
this email address" link that appears on the head of each email received if
that subscription is no longer required and viola no more from that particular
site etc. and no way to track my email fingerprint .
( the other party will just get a shed load of "permanent error" messages.
and lets say u get mail from a list that u have not subscribed donot
click on the link to unsubscribe by clicking what you are doing is
telling the sight yes your email id is existing so now they can sell
your email id to other spammers and then u will get more spam

OK, got that message.
I'll revise my idea slightly; sort out offline then be sure to mark online
and delete forever!
Thanks.

Yes, remember you're training gmail when you do it online; if you mark
it as spam offline, you're only training your email client.
I'd strongly recommend spending the time doing as much spam marking as
you can ONLINE first, otherwise it won't really get to know your
preferences.

Thanks Mo.
Guess I'll sort out the spam offline, delete whatever's left for good
online
and think on from there!
I'll ask again if I need to set up filters.

hi carol.
GMail doesn't seem to apply the actions properly when using imap to your
spam folder. in other words when you delete an email from spam that you
never want to see again, it seems to come back. however, when you
permanently delete it via the web, it stays deleted in the future when
other
emails from the same address are sent. however, when you move a message
to
the inbox using offline imap, then in future they generally come to the
inbox. i've no idea why GMail doesn't work properly when deleting
messages
from spam, but what you're doing seems to be correct in any case. spam
protection is never 100% unfortunately. you could also create filters
within
gmail to permanently block email from certain senders, but most of the
time
it is not necessary to do this. this can be found in settings, filters.
all the best,
Mo.

Hi all,
I have recently noticed a considerable increased on the spam emails I've
been receiving, but have also noticed that a number of messages from
people
I know on another list have found their way into the Spam folder.
I recall that you are supposed to return any wanted mail to the Inbox,
showing that it's not spam; and I've done this now both online and
offline,
the latter being my preference. However, online there is an option to
"delete spam items forever" and, in order to keep the messages down that
are
in that box, I've been deleting (hopefully forever). Now I am unsure
whether what I am doing is correct and how I can best deal with this in
the
offline situation, where, at present, I'm leaving the items I know to be
spam in the downloaded Spam folder.
When I am sure I know I haven't subscribed to emails, I've gone to some
sites and followed the links to remove me from their mailings, with some
success at least, but I don't want to do this for all spam and want to
be
sure of the best methods to use. Any help with this would be much
appreciated.
