Ive had an email at hotmail for quite along time but I get about 40 junkmails a day even using the junkmail filter, what can I do to not recieve this crap!

My second email with hotmail gets no junkmail at all

All my friends know my first email so I want to keep it.

Change your settings so that you only receive mail from those on your " Contacts " list and auto delete all other mail ;)

Yes, Rocol is correct, go to "options" and to the junk mail filter (under "mail handling"), you can change the filter's power there.

I have two mail adresses: one I use for all subscription things (and there I receive all my spam :)), and one for personal use which I don't just "give away"

you all r lucky, cuz my first email, cucuqueral@comcast.com, got about (not kidding) over 10,000 emails a month...thats why i use hot mail. One way to stop spam is to not give out your email adfdress to alot of people. If you do, i suggest you get another email address and use that as a "Giver outer" So, you dont have to worry about spam in your default.

;) But, i know, SPAM SUCKS, and everyone gets it! Your not alone!

It's a phenomenon that is occuring more and more on the net. There are many ways to annoy people by using the net. My trash address is a hotmail one (sorry to say, but hotmail sucks), my good address is one from a belgian webmail service. Why I take belgian services? Because these are absolutely unknown to most of the internet users around the world, and that's why I get no spam at all in that address.

And besides, I have more inbox space in that one :D
