Junk Email Blocking

[Ninja Turtles 25 Years]

We all get them, and yes they are VERY annoying, but has anyone figured out if it's possible to block junk emails for those with Hotmail? I tried using the Sweep - Block from... and it have all checked, and the emails do dissapear. They seem to return. It said in the content box that all checked emails should not appear anymore. Seriously, I like it if my Hotmail would stop being more commericalised and more personal only. That's why I have a second account. Any solutions, if it's even possible to junk email block at all?

I would go with another mail server like gmail e.g.
That is probably your easist recourse.
I don't use hotmail anymore because I don't need offers
for Viagra nor natural herbal enlargement enhancers.
I got sick and tired of that.

I thought everyone gets those kind of emails. And yeah, I get junk emails of pornography, meeting people I don't know, making sales of products I don't know, college tuitions, and job postings. I thought it was normal for everyone and so is the annoyance of receiving them.

I use hotmail and I hardly get any spam in my inbox, I get some scam mails from "Blizzard" but their lack in grammarz are so awe strucking they are not hard to spot. And I stopped playing wow a long time ago, I really don't care.

Since you know Hotmail, then do you know why the Sweep - Block All... command doesn't seem to work? It's said on there that what ever you check and then click Block All it's suppose to block every email checked including in the Junk section. You know I made an email account for personal use only and opened up a second account for commerical use. And it's VERY commericalized.

No, not everyone gets junk mail. I haven't gotten any since I switched to gmail years ago.

I ave no idea why spam mail gets through your account's system, could be cause it's more active then my email account.

I check my email ca 2 times a month unless something special is happening

Same here. If it's not gmail, it probably sucks a little bit.

I've had my e-mail for 8 years....and I get a ton of junk mail. I've often thought about getting a new one, but I have a lot of accounts that are tied to it...which may be a source of the junk mail. Vicious cycle.

Yeah, I have Gmail, no junkmail.

I'm with hotmail, and the majority of junk gets put straight through to the Junk folder. Dunno why, I haven't really messed with the settings. I do get the odd thing through, but its mostly from companies i've bought from in the past, and neglected to tick/untick that wee box with says "From time to time, we email you about..."
