Dealing with junk mail
You probably already get junk mail
letters delivered by the post office.
Now that you're on the Internet,
you may also get junk e-mail, often
called spam.
14
The people who send these unwanted messages are
called spammers. Some unscrupulous companies may
share e-mail addresses with spammers, or a spammer
may send thousands of e-mails to e-mail addresses at
random, hoping that some of them will reach valid
accounts.
You can set up a junk mail filter to help reduce the
amount of junk mail you see in your Inbox. You can
also decide how quickly junk mail is deleted from the
Junk mail folder, which MSN TV automatically creates
when you set up an account.
There are other ways to handle junk mail. If everything
you get from a particular person is junk mail, you can
block all mail from their address. Of course, you can
always simply delete unwanted mail.
