Everyday, millions of spam artists send out billions of spam emails to people who would rather not receive even one of these - sometimes x-rated - messages, let alone a dozen (or more) everyday of the week. When left alone, these unwanted messages get in the way of legitimate and important messages from your family and friends and they can quickly fill up a box with limited space. And we all know it is time-consuming to delete them day after day.

 There are things that you can do and precautions you can take that will help to cut your unwanted emails down to a trickle.

• Turn your computer off more often, hackers can get in and send their emails from your computer using your email address and any responses are sent back to you.
  
  
  
• Get your email inbox organized, create separate folders for family, friends and other the important people in your life
  
  
  
• Use the spam controls in the Options of your email programs features. This will help to cut the number of unwanted emails from even getting to your inbox. Most will go to a separate folder or to the trash.
  
  
  
• Re-route low-priority emails to a different folder or straight to the trash.
  
  
  
• Try color coding your messages so that you know who they are from, at a glance.
  
  
  
• Make more telephone calls to your family, friends and to businesses to eliminate some of your email feedback.
  
  
  
• Delete all unimportant messages that are more than a year old.
  
  
  
• Set aside a specific amount of time each day to deal with your emails - 15 minutes at the end of each day.
  
  
  
• Make emails short - get to the point and make them easy to read and if there is a reply, the writer may take your lead and respond with shorter emails.
  
  
  
• Don’t leave your main email address on message boards - if you do you will get 1000’s of unwanted messages for weeks and possibly years to come.
  
  
  
• Don’t send rude messages to anyone because this can turn into a lot of unnecessary back-and-forth messages.
  

These steps can greatly reduce the amount of emails that you have to go through to get to the good stuff.
