    I get just about no junk/spam e-mail. If I do it's usually after I sign up for a website newsletter for say a sports site or shopping site or something like that or I buy a product then I start getting spam from their associate sites; it's to an email address I created just for those sites so I know it's those sites spamming me and not AOL or Yahoo! I'm fine again after I unsubscribe or block out those sites. The junk mail isn't coming from AOL or Yahoo! it's coming from those third party sites that somehow obtained your email address or obtained your email address from an email list given or sold out by the site you had originally register for (like if you signed up to receive weekly news feed updates from a sports site or newsletters from a shopping site). AOL / Yahoo! is not the one spamming or sending the junk mail or giving your email address out to sites to spam. My advice is too simply unregister/unsubscribe to any sites or newsletters you registered for, and then/or block the spam sites sending it to you. Eventually those sites will stop sending the spam or be blocked out from doing so. I've been using AOL and this particular AOL email address on/off since 1996; I keep my AOL email address unlisted as I don't give this particular email address out to anyone except family, in person (non-online) friends, and close co-workers as I don't use this particular AOL email to register with any sites. I get maybe one spam email a week if even that. Maybe no more than like two or three spam emails in a month. I've gone weeks at times without a single spam email. My email box is almost always empty from junk mail and has been for years.

    All of my valid e-mail now is channeled into my "Trash" folder, along with the hundreds of pornographic and "dating" e-mails that I receive EVERY DAY from the following countries and other sources: Russia, Japan, The Netherlands, Mexico, Colombia, Italy, Britain, Panama, Germany, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Hungary, @hotmail, and @gmail. Culling the good e-mails from the spam is a HUGE waste of my time every day. This has been going on for more than two years, and I have gotten very tired of it.

    When, if ever, are you going to put a stop to it, AOL?

    Ever since they were bought by yahoo, the junk mail has been ridiculous.

    Customer since 1993, you think by now the software would be better.

    101 SPAM IN ONE DAY. DELETED EMAILS WITH SUPPOSED ATTACHMENTS CANNOT BE PERMENANTLY DELETED WITH ONE CLICK.
