About reducing junk e-mail

Windows Live Hotmail offers several options to help reduce the amount of junk e-mail (Unwanted, unsolicited, or illicit e-mail or other electronic messages, including spam.) you receive. Microsoft recommends that you follow these guidelines to help reduce junk e-mail:

• Don't reply to junk e-mail, even to ask to be removed from the sender's mailing list. The sender may simply use that response to confirm that your e-mail address is valid, and continue to send you junk e-mail. To block further e-mail from a sender, at the top of the message, click Mark as unsafe. To report the message as junk e-mail, select the message, click Junk, and then click OK.
• To report the e-mail message as a suspected phishing (Falsely claiming to be a legitimate business to send you to a fake website or scam you into giving out private information.) scam, click Report Phishing scam, and then click OK.
• Remove your e-mail address from any web page, newsgroup, or bulletin board available on the Internet.
• To remove your e-mail address from newsletters or mailing lists that are on your safe senders list, you can click Unsubscribe. Microsoft notifies the people who created the newsletter to stop sending it to you.
