If you are using outlook you need to identify as junk mail any mail that passes outlook's built in analyzer. Once you do it will automatically go into the junk mail folder automatically so you never have to see it again. Outlook automatically makes subjective calls on what is junk mail, if someone not in your address book sends email to high number of addresses outlook assumes it is junk mail and puts it in the junk mail folder.

Once the mail is in the junk mail folder all you have to do is right click on the folder and you will be given the option to delete the folder contents.

I rarely get junk mail but I'm pretty faithful to annotate any mail I consider junk mail as "junk mail" to outlook should it slip pass outlooks checks on it. The more you identify junk mail the more Outlook catches.

Like I said I rarely see junk mail on outlook. I also use Juno and Yahoo both of those have junk mail handling built in. Both also feed off what others call junk mail. So if everyone is calling a letter from Goodbuddy in Nigeria as junk mail, they assume you will too.

But then what would you read in the bathroom? Shampoo bottles and toothpaste tubes get boring after a while.

Somebody has been opening the 'Asian Hotties' spam!:D

Not I, I just 'noticed' its presence in the spam box.:rolleyes:

Ever thought of using that time to 'think'?;)

You get Asian Hotties in your USPS mail? I thought those places were a little more discreet than that. I bet their newsletter would be more interesting than the Harbor Freight mailer.

Sorry, should have deleted half the quote. I don't read spam e-mails in the study, but I may or may not play Candy Crush Saga if its at work.
