i have received 720 e-mails in the last 6 days. 10 of those were from my annoying aunt that must forward every e-mail she gets. 1 was from a friend. the rest were spam. my index finger hurts from deleting all these e-mails.

i need one of those programs that block spam. it should be free and it should work with outlook express. what do you people use?

I don't use a spam blocker, but I use a handful of email accounts - i.e., I'll use my AOL account for shit that I buy online, but I'll use my roadrunner account for serious (person to person) email.

On a daily basis, I'll get 30 spam-related emails to my aol account, and I've gotten maybe one spam-related mail on the roadrunner account in the past 2 months.

There are third party apps out there that claim to work to remove spam, but I really couldn't tell you what a good one is - it's easier to just use a different email address IMO.
