Hi,
I use AOL for email. With all the rubbish I get as email, I can mark it/send it to spam, but I still get stuff from these senders.
How do I permanently block stuff from these senders ?

thanks

    You can change your email address. That will probably solve the problem temporarily. All other solutions are error-prone.
  • Hi

    It is difficult to block spam, especially in AOL.

    I would head over the google and get a gmail account, a much better service.

    gmail.google.com

    Also have 2 emails, one for private email and one for registering at websites etc.
    If you think it will take more than 3 hours to fix a software problem it is probably quicker to reinstall windows. 30 mins to install windows, 2½ hours to reinstall all your nice software
