SPAM in Outlook Express 6

[Liz]

Hi,

I've been getting SPAM mail in my Outlook Express 6 account (up to 100
emails a day!) and I don't know how to prevent this.

I've been all over Microsoft's site and I keep coming across junk email
filters for Outlook but not Outlook Express.

Can someone advise please?

Thank you,

Liz

For Outlook Express support, you'll want to ask in the
microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general newsgroup, but, OE doesn't have
built in spam filters, which is why you haven't seen anything on Microsoft's
web site about it. You'd either need to find one that plugs into OE or look
at your ISP side settings to see if it can be turned up there.

Since you're also using the web based newsreader rather than outlook
express, you might want to use

(or, since you're using Outlook Express for mail, look at the steps in
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/community/columns/newsgroups101.mspx for
how to set up OE to use the microsoft newsgroup server).
