Using spam filters is another very effective way of combating spam or junk mail. These programs use some keywords like guaranteed, free, etc and block any email with those words in them. But this has the disadvantage of sometimes blocking even important mails from your contacts and preventing those senders from sending mails to your address again. The way out is to use add-on spam filters which allow you to control the content that should be allowed into your inbox. This will save you a lot of time and energy as you no longer will have go through each and every email before identifying it as spam and eliminating it.
Spam filters can be installed on any computer system and aim at filtering junk and getting only relevant information to the user.
Setting up a simple spam filter can be very easy. Identify the section filters in your email program and create a new filter. Lay down the rules or filter conditions for the new folder. These can be the parameters under which an email would be marked as spam and deleted from your inbox. If you prefer to look at the filtered mail before deleting it, you can choose the option to move it to another folder once it is filtered....
