You can try configuring your Hotmail account Bulk Mail filter but the senders keep coming up with work-around solutions to enable them to get their miserable offerings through.
Recent viurses that have proliferated my previously quiet e-mail addresses around the world have resulted in an enormous increase of Spam. Filters and Rules are the only defence so far - Oh, and the "Delete" key.
While we're at it, on another thread I've been discussing how to rebuild or clone an OE set-up. It's quite straightforward until you get to wanting to copy across the Rules you have created. Rules are specific to an Identity, not an Account.
Anyone got any idea how to copy over the Rules (I've got about 20 in my Main Identity!) to a new set-up?
And how about that new scourge, a Spam e-mail that, when you highlight it in the folder contents, immediately goes on-line and tries to log you onto a Web Site of the sender's choice? Any Defence against that? Important for anyone who isn't on unlimited time; and anyway it's really irritating!
