| | junk I have Windows Vista, Windows Live Mail, Internet Explorer, Freeserve. I have a serious problem with junk/spam, over 100 per day. About 90% go straight into the junl folder, but I still have to check them. I have also to check the other 10% in my inbox. An enormous waste of time. I want software which will stop junk from entering my computer in the first place. I have tried Spamfighter and Cloudmark, but neither are compatible. Any ideas, apart from changing my email address, which for obvious reasons I don't want to do? |

| | Re: junk To prevent delivery check your isp's web interface for filtering prior to pulling down to a local client. If Hotmail, check out the the online web ui settings to see if one of those options suits your issue. -- ...winston ms-mvp mail "halevalley" <halevalley@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:41B7CF34-8111-4EB9-B258-DFC77D8F461A@xxxxxx Quote: > I have Windows Vista, Windows Live Mail, Internet Explorer, Freeserve.

| | Re: junk Thanks, Winston, but I am a bit ignorant on some of these things. I am not on Hotmail. My isp is Orange. How do I find their web interface? What do you mean by "pulling down to a local client"? halevalley.
