How Do You Handle SPAM Email?

One of the biggest annoyances in our technology-filled world is certainly SPAM email. We’ve all had it and had to deal with it in some way. When you find SPAM email in your inbox, how do you handle it?

One or two errant SPAM emails isn’t that big of a deal. But when you open your inbox and find it filled with emails that you didn’t request and from senders you don’t recognize, it can be a huge annoyance. It’s akin to getting sales calls on your phone or even getting salespeople on your doorstep. It’s unwarranted but for some reason an evil we just can’t seem to get rid of completely. The delete button is of course the first option, but that doesn’t make it go away. If it was just one sender, that would be one thing, but SPAM email comes from so many different sources that it can be hard to block.

We’ve all been there, but what do you do? Do you hit the SPAM button with every single email you errantly receive? Do you change your email service to just start all over with something fresh that hasn’t ended up on a spammer’s list yet?
