Ed, Thanks for your reply.
There are no subscriptions attached to the Excite, Juno & Yahoo accounts. They just keep accruing spam. If I just stop logging on to them will they eventually be disabled after they overflow with spam and/or if I stop checking them? What about my bellsouth email addresses? I have two that I no longer use. One used to be my primary email address which I stopped using months ago because it received so much spam. The second was set up to use for subscriptions. When the primary email address began to get spam I set up a gmail account for subscriptions and unsubscribed everything on the second bellsouth email. I have disabled the two bellsouth accounts in Mail on my computer, iPhone, and ipad. I check them once a month through webmail on Yahoo. But I would really like to permanently cancel them. If I stop checking them will they also go away? My wife has a bellsouth email address which she uses for everything. She get 3-4 spam emails per day. She is reluctant to change to a me.com <http://me.com/> or gmail address. The thought of changing over, overwhelms her. BTW, when we first signed up with Bellsouth I set up my Bellsouth Email and my wife’s bellsouth email was a secondary email. Any words of wisdom will be appreciated.
