Quick Ways to Cut Through [SPAM]

We get asked all the time, "How do you manage junk-mail in your INBOX?"
In all honesty, we never get any junk-mail...okay, we're lying. Smile.  But seriously, the most commonly-used method for managing junk-mail is to use the Webmail system as the first line of defense.  What do we mean?  Well, next time you have to download your e-mail and you're agonizing over how long it will take Outlook -- or other desktop mail application -- to actually retrieve your e-mail off the server, try this instead:

  1. Login to your Webmail site using your e-mail address. (Note: If you can't remember, you can always go to http://webmail.loadmail.com/)
  2. Make sure your Webmail Junk-Mail Filters are set to Append the phrase "[SPAM]" at the beginning of the Subject line and leave the message in my Inbox.
  3. Any incoming mail that appears to be SPAM-related will be tagged in the Subject line. (Note: Only messages arriving after your filters are set will be tagged.)
  4. Click the "checkbox" to select ALL Messages in the Inbox.
  5. Uncheck the messages you want to keep.
  6. Use the Move-To Drop Down Menu to move all "checked" message to your Trash Can.
  7. Repeat as necessary to clean out your Inbox.

Once you've done this a couple of times, you'll see how easy the Webmail system makes it to identify message you want to keep and get rid of junk-mail quickly and easily.
