• How can I block spam emails.

  I want to send spam emails directly in the trash. It seems that there is an option to tag as junk and then send all unwanted mail messages in the trash. The problem is that I scored a lot of spam email that I might want to read maybe 5% of them. How can I cancel all unwanted mail settings and start over again, so I can mark spam emails that I never want to read as spam.

  Why do you not use the Junk folder (or Spam) to move the messages classified as junk to.
  You can define a retention time so that you can still read the messages you want and are looking for false positives.

• My email account private not send/receive/to hotmail accounts - I think is marked as spam!

  My email address is validated with a third-party domain provider and I use Outlook Express for some years.

  Recently, I send emails to my clients to contact most those who are account hotmail; When I ask them about the information I sent them, they say that no email received from me!

  A few times, I have scored between 25 and 50 accounts selectively my contacts, send them information about the products and associated,

  based on that, I think that my account (* address email is removed from the privacy *) is marked as Spam and I need my account back free... I don't write text harmful or malicious. Tech from my provider field tell me, this is the reason why my account has this issue.

  I need microsoft help technical to provide my account and solve that, if this is the case.
  Thank you in advance.

  Hello Oscar,.

  I suggest you to contact support for your 3rd party email provider.
  If the Windows Live Hotmail account is the issue, please re-post on this forum:

• I can't receive a lot of messages due to spam. Apparently I can check my "spamfile" to see what is in it. But how en where can I find my spamfile in Outlook Express?

  I can't receive a lot of messages due to spam. Apparently I can check my "spamfile" to see what is in it. But how en where can I find my spamfile in Outlook Express?

  You will need to probably connect to the webmail of your email provider and do it from there. If you get your e-mail through your ISP (Comcast, AT & T etc.), then go to their website and log on to webmail. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• My hotmail account is sending spam email.

  I changed the password and it is always the case. Someone is spoofing, do not access my account directly, because there is no way that they brute forced my second password, and even if they did, there is nothing to gain by it. I scanned my computer with MSE, and it comes back clean. I frequently use ccleaner to hold all the junk mail and I perform scans of my hard drive on the complete daily.

  What is going on? Don't treat me like a fool. I know the way engineers think users. I would kill to have access to this bug report Studio product that use you guys, so I could see your engineers trying to pin this on the user base. Bleh. If direct e-mail is compromised, let us know!

  Hello

  If someone is Spoofing emails that appear to come from you then they probably never
  had access to your e-mail account. Instead, they have either a copy of your contacts
  list or just an email from you or one of you where you were one of the recipients. Those
  could be gleaned either your computer, the computer of a friend, or hacking
  any site or intercept an email on your behalf or to you (you may not be the main)
  (beneficiary).

  Once they have this information there is nothing you can do to avoid that they don't
  send usurped messages. Warn your friends that is happening and they
  can be entitled to install rules such as parodies are treated as SPAM or JUNK
  mail.

  I've even seen usurped by email that appears to be from a valid user name however
  This name doesn't have an e-mail account on the mail system used in parody.
  As SpiritX - AT - realmail.com may be a valid account, however, parody used
  SpiritX - AT - wrongmail.com. The latter could still be considered an email address valid
  SpiritX if it was allowed through JUNK and JUNK e-mail filtering. (The - AT - has been used
  instead of so that those addresses would not be filtered by auto responses.
  as if by magic.)

  ============================================================

  Proceed to a very thorough check for malware and then change your password by e-mail.

  The reason why you want to do this is to make sure no more hacking your computer is
  still in effect (if it has been hacked). You have changed the password once but I would
  Change it again after these checks.

  It is possible for a person to send the email that 'seems' to be of your
  account but that is not really - called "Spoofing." That means its 'Possible' emails
  were not really you, although they may have your contact list. Have someone
  who receives the e-mails to check the header to see where he is actually sent by and
  NOT only the answer to the address.

  If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
  scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
  resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
  cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
  extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

  It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
  the regular windows when you can.
