Reducing junk e-mail
USciences Live Mail Web email made easy for all
Windows Live Hotmail offers several options to help reduce the amount of junk e-mail (Unwanted, unsolicited, or illicit e-mail or other electronic messages. Also called .) you receive. Microsoft recommends that you follow these guidelines to help reduce junk e-mail:
- Do not reply to junk e-mail, even to ask to be removed from the sender's mailing list. The sender may simply use that response to confirm that your e-mail address is valid, and continue to send you junk e-mail. To block further e-mail from a sender, at the top of the message, click Mark as unsafe. To report the message to Microsoft, when prompted, click OK.
- Remove your e-mail address from any page, newsgroup, or bulletin board available on the Internet.
Note
If you receive junk e-mail that looks as if it was sent from your Windows Live Hotmail account, someone may have spoofed your account information.
