How to Deal With Spam in Your Email Box

Junk email and spam are a huge problem for many people. At times, it's so overwhelming that email becomes inefficient compared to other communication options. Scraping your entire email account is an option especially when you get 100 spam messages for every 1 real one which makes it a real burden to even use your email service. But there are some options to dealing with spam.

To start, you should realistically stop using just one email account for everything. You never know who is going to pass around your email address to everyone else when you use it to register for a forum or sign up for more information somewhere. Start creating more than one email account to keep different things separate.

You should also keep one separate for personal use that is never used to sign up for anything online. This makes it less likely that someone will find and use your email for sending you things that you do not wish to have. Set up a series of other email accounts for signing up on websites, offers, newsletters, and other things.

One big mistake that many make is that they validate their email address to a spammer. They get an email that they don't want and look for the unsubscribe button. Many times this alerts the spammer that you are a real person with a real account. At this point you will start to get more email. It's much better to filter out the email without revealing you opened and read it than it is to interact with the links in the email. There are ways the spammer knows you clicked on links in the email so it's important that you never do that to prevent getting even more spam.

Using these techniques should help you cut down on the junk mail and spam that you are getting on a daily basis. By eliminating unwanted spam, you can sort through your e-mail a lot faster and help keep your email box much cleaner.
