Jimmer, I know you'll be more helpful in answering Holly's direct question. I just wanted to say something that may be helpful to Holly to cut down on the spam. One thing that might help is to use one email for friends and family and another email you give to businesses etc.

Hey, is the reason that I don't really get spammed at all (Only from some places I buy at like borders.com, picturepeople and amazon) because I do have a mac??? Just wondering. We have not set any preferences in our mailbox setup to refuse any emails as far as I know...

Happymom, I do have a yahoo account but keep forgetting to check it. And when I do, there's usually 500 spams on it, lol! I hate spam mail.

I don't think that having a Mac has anything to do with it Julie. Either you have somehow managed to avoid spam lists (which is very hard to do), your email program is blocking it without you realizing it or a more likely possibility is that some email providers will block spam before it even reaches your in-box.

I have Gmail, and I NEVER get spam. Gmail automatically moves it to the spam folder, and if you WANT to go into that folder and look through the stuff, you have 30 days to do it. Spam 30 days old gets deleted. Love love love gmail. Also, I set up filters on my account, so that when I subscribe to newsletters, flyers, etc., they skip the inbox, and go into a "Junk Mail" folder I set up. I subscribe to things like FutureShop and BestBuy weekly e-flyers, etc. Gmail has a VERY easy filter set-up system. When an email comes into your inbox and you're looking at it, there is a "Fliter messages like this" button, and boom, it takes you to the filter setup with away, where you can choose to do a bunch of things like skip the inbox, move it to a folder, delete it, mark it as read, or forward it to another address. I love Gmail more than any other service. And I've used hotmail, yahoo, outlook, MacMail, etc. I highly recommend it.

Holly, Unfortunately, if you are using Outlook Express, I don't think there is any way to filter to receive only emails from known sources.

"Well if they are picking on the likes of OG & DC... that makes no sense at all. " LOL - maybe they have a thing against compound screen names. This REALLY IS so distressing. I think I may call in sick to work with all the stress of having a compound screen name too! What if I'M NEXT?!?!!!!?!

Went to change my profile to remove my email address and didn't understand why tvch didn't send me the activation key. Well, I just checked my spam folder and there it was. Julieboo, my Mac does too good a job! LOL

Greetings from your Moderators! We have decided to move some areas of the board that were previously in General Discussions to the Community Corner. The Community Corner is accessible to members only and we feel this move will afford our members more privacy and security when discussing things of a more personal nature. The three areas being relocated are: Health Center Parenting Place Hairball Haven As always, if you have any questions or concerns please email us at moderator@tvclubhouse.com Thank you! TVCH Moderators

Julie, it's just housekeeping, in line with our previous policies about what kinds of things should be public and what should be available to members only.
