Junk E-mail From My Primary NTL Address

FairyFairy · 27-01-2011, 21:27

I've just had a very odd e-mail sent from my primary NTL address (I've cut some of the link off) and I didn't click on the link anyway. I marked it as Junk and deleted it .... then thought perhaps I ought to do something about it .... but what???

Go into webmail if it is still there put a tick in front of it and click the Report Junk Mail link at the top.

Thanks Masque ... I've done that.

I always use my Mac Mail so never gave that a thought.

Thanks again

If one slips through into Outlook I always login and send it to spam but they are quite rare with the Google filters in place nowadays.

Is Outlook a pc thing??????? I use my Mac Mail.

Now I'm showing my ignorance ..... computers!!! One step forward and twenty two back!!!!

I was just congratulating myself because I found out how to alter the sound level on my audio whatever it was called .........

and you might know something else too. When I went into my mail with NTL I had all my old mails there (which I dutifully cleaned out) Is there any way it can be done automatically without me having to do it manually??? In my Virgin Media mail box it was nice, clean and empty!!!!

Sorted it ..... was mulling over the fact that one was empty and one not ... thinking its got to be settings ... nipped in Virgin Media to check settings .... and then nipped into NTL and changed it .... so its got to be done ...................................... fingers crossed.

I got that email in my Outlook as well. A rare one that got through.

It's pretty straightforward to fake a 'from' address in an email. Want to email out as pope@vatican.org? No problem!

You don't need to worry about marking it as junk - it won't block your proper emails

For info on how to change if messages get kept when your email program downloads them:
