Okay, so I'm really tired of emails asking me to try Viagra for free, or even solicitation for sex. I know, I know I can ignore them and such, but it annoys me that emails like this are sent to me. :x

What do you guys think of spam email? How do y'all cope with them? Do you leave them for laughs, or clean them out as soon as you get them?

Those usually get sent to my junk mail, which I don't really look at often so I just let them get deleted on their own. I'm pretty good at ignoring unwanted emails in general though - if any land in my inbox I just skim over them when I'm looking over new mails.

It's only been like a year or so, that I even get those. Must have been an email leak of some sort. They are mostly about saving money and they usually come with a threatening or innocently looking ("you got a message from somebody that you don't") subject.

I get maybe 7 spam emails a month, and 99.99% of the time, Google's spam filter catches them. Hell, it catches some of the mass emails some activism groups send out to anyone who's signed up for a petition of theirs even once because someone somewhere flagged it as spam. So, basically, I never see spam unless I intentionally go into my Gmail's spam box.

I rarely ever actually check the emails for my outlook.com account, though I'm sure that's quite a bit more filled with spam.

When it comes to spam emails I don't even bother looking at them, I just delete them. Seems like almost everyday I get ones in my Yahoo.com account being about sex.

Spam mail is really annoying to me. All the emails that are sent to my spam mail don't even look remotely official. If you're trying to convince me to "try Viagra for free" or "watch hot MILF's on webcam", then please, make the email look somewhat realistic. Typing everything in all caps or scattering stars throughout the email is definitely not convincing.

Nine times out of 10, I just delete everything in under spam mail. The only time I actually look through it is when I don't get a confirmation email for something I signed up for, so I check my spam or junk mail just to be sure. Other than that, I permanently delete all emails under there. :P

Pretty much same here with my Yahoo account, haha. I usually check my spam folder though just incase an important email accidentally gets send in there. Most of the time, though, I'll delete them.

I often forget about any spam mail of mine since it's kept all nice and neat in my junk folder. :D Out of sight, out of mind~

Though I do go looking in there every so often just to see what's actually in there. Thankfully very few legit things get caught (usually just newsletters I wouldn't read anyway from various sites, so whatever), and some of the titles can be amusing to read, such as the fake facebook message I saw with the title of "Your 2 unread messages will be deleted soon cheesecloth".
???

But yeah, usually ignored and just left there until they're automatically deleted. Most of it's spam that I really don't want to read anyway.

Gmail has a pretty good anti-spam feature so most if not all spam messages I get are sent straight to the spambox. Yahoo! Mail though.. I used to sign up for a ton of crap on my old Yahoo! Mail account so it's littered with thousands of spam messages hahaha. I stopped accessing it years ago. It got around 100 spam mails a day back then and basically became unusable.

When I started uni I created a new email, so I don't get many spam messages there. I still use my old email address for signing up and stuff, but I barely take the time to look at my emails and spam. Most of it is the whole "YOU HAVE ONE 1 MILLION DOLLARS" spam emails.

... man if those things were real I'd be rich... we all would be.

I remember how much annoying spam I got years ago, but these days it appears I don't get hit but that much spam as I used to. Gmail user here by the way.

Spam Emails are annoying as hell. "You have 1 million dollars" crap lol. I use Gmail and it does have an anti-spam feature. Sometimes emails who are not spam are sent to the spam folder tho ;__;
