Spam Emails
13 Answers
I have been unsubscribing from these for a while, but have noticed the number I am receiving are increasing.
Today I received 27 from one spam sender alone, one after another.
Am I doing wrong by unsubscribing and should I just delete them?

It doesn't stop you from receiving more. If you report as spam or block the address, it should limit the ones you get. I know it was a typo. x
I use Outlook, so I only know how that particular one works. When you get the emails, is there a little box to the left of it that you can tick? If there is, then tick it and look at any drop down menus you have to see what you can do with that particular email.Outlook seems to just put them in there automatically and when they do, I then block that address and then delete them.
Your not being a pain Caran, it's just that I'm not very good at explaining as I just do things automatically.Perhaps someone else might see your question and be able to explain it better.I usually work things out by just messing about and trying different things. If you delete them, then they are gone,but you will keep getting them.If you move them to your junk folder,your server will eventually delete them. I think that's the only difference really.You need to mark them as spam and block them but because I can't see what your set up is, I can't help really.Sorry.
I have two e mail addresses. One I use for competitions, and purchases from less well known suppliers.
My main e mail address I only divulge to trusted people.
I get very few unwanted e mails on my main address, but quite a bit on the other one.
Your current torrent of spam will die away after a while.
