SPAM BUTTON

ONE OF THE NICE THINGS THAT HAPPENED AFTER BUYING THE NEW ACER LAPTOP WAS LOADING THE SOFTWARE FOR MY YAHOO MAIL ACCOUNT BROUGHT IN A NEW UPDATED VERSION OF THE SOFTWARE.

AT THE TOP OF THE E-MAIL PAGE IS A NEW BUTTON TO CLICK CALLED "SPAM". YOU KNOW HOW WHEN YOU GO TO CHECK E-MAIL, THE FIRST THING YOU DO IS TO GO THROUGH THE LIST OF INCOMING E-MAILS CHECK MARKING THE ADVERTISEMENTS, EARN YOUR DEGREE AT HOME, GET LAID TONIGHT, ETC., AND THEN YOU HIT DELETE?

THE PROCEDURE IS THE SAME, ONLY INSTEAD OF "DELETE" YOU HIT THE NEW "SPAM" BUTTON. THE E-MAILS ARE DELETED AND THE ADDRESS OF THE OFFENDING E-MAIL IS PERMANENTLY BLOCKED FROM YOUR IN-BOX. THE E-MAIL IS ALSO BOUNCED BACK TO THE SENDER CLOGGING UP THEIR E-MAIL BOX.

BEFORE HAVING AND USING THIS "SPAM" BUTTON I WAS RECEIVING ABOUT 25 SUCH E-MAILS A DAY. NOW AFTER 10 DAYS OF USING THE SPAM BUTTON, I'M DOWN TO ABOUT 4 UNWANTED E-MAILS A DAY.

WHAT A NICE NEW FEATURE. IF YAHOO MAIL IS DOING THIS I'M SURE THE OTHER BIG WEB BASED EMAIL PROVIDERS ARE DOING THE SAME. NOW MAYBE THE TIME TO UPDATE YOUR E-MAIL SOFTWARE TO SEE IF YOU CAN ELIMINATE THE SPAM E-MAIL IN YOUR ACCOUNT.
