hotmail help please!?

**Iron horse** · 10-14-2002, 08:06 AM

ok, this has been bothering me for years at this point...

I got my hotmail account about 4-5 years ago, and it seems as more time goes on i keep getting more and more and more and more junk mail and useless garbage. about 150 things that make it too my inbox and about 100 things that make it too my junkmail each day! out of these is anywhere from 0-2 emails that I actualy want to read.

My block list is totaly full, is there anything I can do to stop this madness besides start over with a new email addresss!!!???

thanks

They changed some shit on your settings without you knowing it. I can't remember exactly but go look at your settings or profile or whatever that shit is called and scroll down to where it says something like"Share your email address with others" There should be 2 boxes and they have them both checked. Uncheck the shit and you should have your junk mail drop by at least half in the next few days.

hey Vegas, that's a great tip, bro! I didn't even know that was there ... someone once used MY hotmail address as the "return email" to send a VIRUS!! - the only way I knew was because a recipient's anti-virus program rejected it back to the "sender", which actually then came to me

for anyone else trying to find it, simply click on "Options", then "Personal Profile"
