Have you ever received an email from a Nigerian Prince telling you that he wants to make you a millionaire, and all you have to do was reply with your credit card details? Or perhaps you have been offered the opportunity to earn £200 an hour by working from home? Maybe you received an email advertising a tablet that would make you irresistible to all women? The chances are you have experienced one of these emails (if not all of them) at some point. If you are getting sick of the constant spamming, then there are steps you can take to block spam from your inbox.

An easy way you can stop spam is to use your email’s filtering features. Most emails will allow you to block specific messages. Whenever you get a spam email, set your filter to block further emails from that address. Once you have done this, these emails won’t even make it into your spam folder.

Of course a more specialist approach to getting rid of these emails is to report the emailer to Spamcop. Firstly, you must determine the spam’s origins. To do this you will have to instruct your email program to display all of the header information. If you are unsure how to do this, then there are resources available; such as About.com. Once you have reported the culprit, they won’t be able to send any more frustrating messages that are a waste of your time.
