How do I get rid of the spam on my gmail account?
You can not completely stop all spam, but you can help to put a big dent in it.


These instructions are for Yahoo, but you should be able to find similar equivalents for Gmail.


First, try not to open any of them, that only makes them send more and more to you.


Check mark them and click on 'Spam,' this should stop those addresses from being delivered to your inbox.


Use your spam filter and block address.


Look for the 'Options' link at upper right corner of mail screen and click on it





Options/ mail options / spam preferences


make sure spam guard is on, click on save changes





Options /mail options / blocked addresses


Enter the E-mail address you wish blocked and click on 'add block'


you will never get mail from that address again.


This should help you to control your spam.


Other tips:


Never open E-mail unless you are absolutely sure who it is from.


Never give out your personal information to anyone.


If you are on a site and you absolutely have to sign up for something, check the entire page to make sure you uncheck any lines wanting to send you any other info, notices, catalogs, ads, and the like.


Added detail:


Yes, spammers change one item in their addresses a lot, so you might try blocking the entire domain, by putting in


*@ thedomainyouwanttoblock.com


for instance: *@seeyou.com


Hope this helps.
