Almost everyone has received spam at some point. These are e-mails that are usually sent to large numbers of people for advertising purposes. You can set up a filter to prevent such unwanted e-mails. Depending on the provider, you can create a list of specific e-mail addresses that will be blocked or moved to the trash. But it works a little differently with every email provider. That is why we have put together the procedure for the most common mail providers for you.
