Outlook express

Hi people,

Have a question. Im using windows xp pro and use outlook express for email. I get lots of spam, and unwanted email from many different non legitimate companies. Is there anyway I can delete these emails without first clicking on them (opening them).

I know if they see its been opened they will keep sending. There has got to be a way to delete those emails without opening them.
please dont tell me to block the sender cuz they keep sending emails from different ID's (emails)

Thanks

hey martoch,

I looked at what you said about your outlook express and it is my main email also. I also saw the list of your emails and I get lots of them with strange names and subjects like>> jghsdldfjsdzlxd.

Damn fools who send them. Pisses me off.

I get them on an account I never have used.

Just set it up to take advantage of web space for storage.

Accidently opened up that profile thinking it was my main one to check my mail and about 90 junk emails appeared.

I wonder if someone at my ISP is selling email addresses for fun and profit?

I would recommded using Thundbird to use guys. It's a great email client and has a very useful Junk/Spam filter. You can download it here at:
