Junk mail

[Vipul Bhatt]

Why is that without setting any filters the mails are sent to junk folder rather than inbox. This happens at hotmail, indiatimes, etc.. Kindly help and oblige. Thank you. Vipul Bhatt

I believe that the default setting for hotmail is the tightest selection - only accept mail from users in your address book. I have mine set one notch lower, and tonight I had 563 emails in my Inbox, and 64 in my Junk Mail box. All of them are spam. It's probable that most most ISPs use a similar, totally inadequate filter.

That's better! It looks like radioactive waste now. - Ryan Binns
