I have three email accounts and use to get quite lot of rubbish email
messages. I changed the "Account Names" leaving out the eMails addresses as the same. I mean by "AccountName" is going to Menu Tools Accounts Mail Tab select "Account" (1st Col) Properties and chantge the "MailAccount" from Smith to John ( may be some unusal name) and do not alter anything else. Click Apply OK. It wood appear to me that all those bad guys have gone away. I am not an expert and guru of these things. The result is lot of relief to me . I would appreciate to have some comments on this from the well qualified and expert users as I may be totally wrong? |

The name on the email account is only used by your email program to show you
which account. The account name is not used on the Internet. Changing the account name will not affect the amount of SPAM that you receive. -- Ron Sommer "AAH" wrote in message ...

What you did had nothing to do with the amount of spam received or not
received. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Client - since 2002 AAH wrote: I have three email accounts and use to get quite lot of rubbish email messages.
