Email spam is a common problem that every user has to face. You open your email account and find spam messages waiting to be deleted. What frustrates me is to see a counter placed adjacent to the spam label and I have to manually delete the spam messages every day.
One solution to reduce spam is to use temporary disposable email addresses for one time signups in forums or websites. You can also hide your email address from spam bots but somehow you cannot get rid of the spammers. Eventually, some of them will surely slip through and land in your spam folders. The best way to deal – delete them the moment they arrive.
1. Sign-in to your Gmail account with your username and password.
2. Click on “Mail Settings” link from the top-right corner of your account page.
3. Head to the Filter tab to create a new filter then click on “Create a new folder”.
4. At the “Has the words” box, put is:spam and click Next Step.
5. Once you click on the Next Step button, a warning message appears. Simply, ignore this warning and click on OK.
6. Now check into the box Delete it. You can also apply this filter on the existing spam emails in your account by selecting the appropriate option.
7. Finally, click on Create Filter.
Once you configure and create the filter properly, all the incoming mails which are flagged as spam will be automatically deleted. I applied this method in my Gmail account and I am happy that no spam email resides at my Gmail account.
Though, I have described the process for Gmail account, you can apply this any other email provider following the similar procedure.
One drawback of creating this filter is that every incoming mail that is flagged as spam will be deleted. Some time Gmail flags an incoming mail as spam by mistake. In such case, you can lose your important mails before you read them.
