And that's why I like Trend Micro. It throws all SPAM into one folder in OE and all I have to do to get rid of it is do Ctrl-A, delete. Other Trend Micro customers are always clicking their spam buttons and this info goes into a large data base that Trend Micro updates daily. Since I've had the same email for 11 years, this really is a blessing :-) Judith EZ step by step Videos show you how to make videos, ebooks, ebook covers and audio books http://www.agoodread.com ________________________ Thank you. So the bottom line is that after designating any spam as junk mail (or putting that spam into the junk mail folder), I can immediately delete it and Hotmail got the message. Personally I don't think any of this works as the senders have a way of changing their identities faster than I can designate their mails as junk. --- Harold Steve wrote: > Harold I have a hotmail account in which I get a massive > amount of spam. > Once you mark it as spam and it goes to the spam folder, > and hopefully it > will continue to do so, you can delete yourself or wait > for hotmail to do > it.
