My wife and I have separate SM email accounts, using Time Warner Roadrunner. She gets lots of spam emails, while I don't get any. What would cause this, and how do I fix her account to not get spam?
There are various estimates of the amount of mail traffic that is SPAM. They are all over fifty percent. In the early days we tried to filter out SPAM. But you will always be in reactive mode.
Setting the junk flag and then deleting does train SM to set the flag for you. Then go to Tools > Delete mail marked as junk.
Charter, in general does not filter incoming, and I do not want them deciding what I want and what I don't. But if I resend an add to my wife's machine, Charter stops that.
So, I filter what I want to keep to a variety of folders and sub-folders, and that leaves the inbox mostly stuff I do not want, and is easy to deal with. I now have about a hundred folders, and it is rare that any but the inbox get SPAM.
The fix for your wife's account, is to create a new account, get everyone using the new, and then delete the old. That is not practical for me - too many senders to notify - so see above.
