hotmail inbox constant overflow


Question

Ok. whats the deal.

I thought the junkmail folder didnt count towards my limit.

Every two days I get 2 emails:

one from

hotchick272002@msn.com

with subject

"30 pregutas para saber si tu pareja te enga?a."

total of 318K attachment "Adulterio_en_tus_narices.cpl"

in the message:

"nunca esta demas saberse estas cosillas, je je."

second e-mail:

drmark_allislost@hotmail.com

subject: "Test de amor."

attachment: "testdeamor.cpl" also 318k

message content: "leelo y luego me dices que tan enamorado estas o si es solo calentura ja ja ja."

cpl..sounds like virus to me.:hurt:

so thats over 600k every two days.

wtf?!

how do i make hotmail not even show these e-mails. go automatically into garbage bin.

my junkmail filter is maxxed out

and i DONT want to make a new e-mmail

i have about 10 already. all for different things. nm about that.

/edit

if you remove everything from the block filter you will start to recieve junk mail, but most of the adresses in there will be unused now, you can then block any mail you get, i do this every couple of months, it takes about a week to block all the spam

Sorry, but what are you complaining about. You get Hotmail for *free*. I get 10-15 Korean and Chinese spams in addition to all this other junk mail on my work/main e-mail account. If I had a choice I would much rather get spanish spam since I could actually read it. Makes it that much more pleasureable to delete. If only I could read Chinese well enough to know how to make a million dollars or increase my penis size, the spam might make more sense.

I'm complaining about the weekly 320k files im getting in my junk mail folder.

each e-mail is 320k. a *.cpl file. we all know what cpl is. bad news.

im just wondering how to make this e-mail go straight into my trash can so it doesnt count toward my total storage limit.

if you count it up 4x320 is 1280kb. <

..thats what im complaining about.

go to options, choose junk mail filter, choose your level of "protection". If you only want to receive certain people and they're on your address book, select exclusive.

then go back to options, choose junk mail deletion, then choose immediate. with that set, any junk mail will never reach your account.

also check your sent messages folder. that adds up to your space.

:ponder: Why not just put both of the email addresses in the blocked list and not worry about them? Just delete 2 of them from the blocked section and add the new ones.
