Getting junk mail and ads off your back

Three tools: a filter that learns, blocking a sender, and common sense about scams.

In short

Mark what you do not want as junk (right-click > Move to Junk) and the filter learns. To never hear from someone again, use “Block contact”. And if an email feels off, ask the assistant before you click anything.

Step by step

  1. Mark what is junk

    Right-click the row in the list > “Move to Junk”. The filter learns from what you mark.

  2. Block the persistent ones

    The same right-click menu has “Block contact”: their emails stop reaching your inbox.

  3. Run a sweep

    The rules screen has “Scan for spam”: it goes through what you have and moves the obvious junk to the junk folder.

  4. When in doubt, ask

    “Does this email look like a scam?”. The assistant tells you what looks suspicious: urgency, odd links, a sender that does not add up.

Tips

Common questions

Something I wanted went to junk

Put it back in the inbox: the filter learns from your corrections too.

Are the ads I signed up for junk as well?

Not quite. Those come off best with their own unsubscribe link, though the filter can set them aside if you get tired of them.
