PLS HELP!!!!!! Spaming doesn't help.

    I as a grand father know exactly what you mean. Sorry, but the only way is to open another e-mail account with a different name and just ignore the other one or try to delete it. If you want to keep you ID just try to open another acct. with the same ID but you will have to add something to it such "Joesmith1 or some other number or letter. Good luck and let me know if you need more help and I will try to help you out.

    you can try blocking all but your contacts? Or, every time you get one click it as junk or spam.

    But you may just have to get a new email, email all of your contacts with your new email address and then check your old email once a week for anything you may need

    just a suggestion: have your main email for family and friends and have the old one for junk, contests, and all that stuff.

    Use spam filter software. You can also set up "rules" with some email software that can target certain words. But nothing will get it all.
