This is a really handy guide. I wasn't aware of some of the functions you mentioned. Thanks.
Good read! But, I seem to have an issue, Spam shows up in my primary mail, not in the spam folder. What should I do?
MailBrother does a better job at managing Spam, don't you think @Jocelyn Hodson?
I've always wondered how spammers get our email addresses. Is there a way to completely avoid spam?
@Steven Reynolds I'm glad the guide was helpful to you. We always aim to inform our readers fully. @Alice Murphy You should check your settings again. Maybe you accidentally changed something. @Michael Larson MailBrother does indeed have great spam management. @Rachel Strickland Unfortunately, it isn't possible to completely avoid spam, but we can take steps to manage it effectively.
Are there any plans to create a guide for Yahoo Mail users as well?
I have so many spam emails. It's frustrating. But this guide is a lifesaver. Thanks a lot.
Does unrolling from a subscription always work? I've noticed that I still get emails even after unrolling.
@Xavier Johnson Good idea - we'll definitely consider that. @Linda Harper I'm glad the guide is helping you manage your spam. @Martin Woods Unrolling should generally work, but if it doesn't, marking the emails as spam can help your email client understand what you consider to be unwanted mail.
Is there a way to automatically send certain addresses to the spam folder?
This is one of the most detailed step-by-step guides I've read so far. Excellent work.
I move spam to the spam folder, but they still appear in my inbox. Any solutions?
@Emily Wright Yes, you can set up filters to automatically send emails from certain senders to the spam folder. @Kevin Davis Thanks for your kind words; I'm glad you found it helpful. @Brian Smith You may need to check your email settings again or contact your email service provider.
This blog was really informative, I always got confused managing my spam folders. Thanks for clearing this up.
I've been using MailBrother for a while now, and its spam management is superior to Gmail and Outlook. Anyone else feel the same?
Can't deny that, Stephanie. MailBrother's been a lifesaver for managing my work emails.
I'm a bit of a newbie in this area, could anyone clarify the difference between spam and junk mail?
This article was needed! It's so easy to mark some important mail as spam by mistake due to not knowing how to properly deal with them.
I'm always cautious of the spam folder. I've lost important mails because they got filtered. Can I prevent this?
