Youre never going to totally stop spam
80% of all email sent is spam
The way to help keep it under control is
Never open, unsubscribe, or reply to spam
It often has tracking to let them know youve opened the mail
This puts you on their gullible list.
There is no reason to even go in your spam folder, but once a week, to see if anything good went there in error. Then just delete all till next week.
If you have mail going to your inbox.
On the inbox page go to Options> Mail Option>Spam
and set the controls to only accept mail from your contact.
Stay out of the spam folder.. its a trash bin of sorts
Also keep your email address very secure
Dont let people put it on those bulk fwd fwd fwd emails, with 20 other names on it, and names from the person that fwd fwd-ed the email to them. Those emails eventually fall into the wrong hands.
Never post your email online
OR if you put it on a site..read the terms of service
Many will say they sell your address to marketing firm
Guard your email address like a credit card

Never reveal your personal ID to anybody online and never sign up on any site with your ID. Or they are gonna SPAM you. TO solve this problem just make a new personal ID for actual use and make another ID for giving to spammers and for signing up :-D
