Completely Stop Spam

Completely stopping spam is everyone's main goal in life. Maybe it's letters via the US mail or over the internet. Everyone wants to stop it. But guess what you can actually stop 98% of the spam that you will get via your email account.

Gmail is the best FREE email service out there and best of all they have awesome spam stopping power.

Say you have had an email account for years. Yourname@yourdomain.com or yourname@yahoo.com. No worries you can forward those email accounts to gmail.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Gmail Account
  1. Step 1

    Signup for a new Gmail account.

  2. Step 2

    Then if you have a previous email account you will need to forward it to your new email account.

  3. Step 3

    If you have a custom email address on your own hosting account like yourname@yourdomain.com then you will have a control panel where you original setup the email account. Just go there and forward either the entire email account or just a copy of all emails sent to that address.

  4. Step 4

    Same goes if you have a free email like yahoo.com, hotmail.com, juno.com or any free service; most of them allow you to forward the email off and just forward it off to your new Gmail account

  5. Step 5

    Now all your email that comes in it will be spam protected. I have done this to ALL my email accounts and it gets rid of 98% or more of all my spam and I get thousands of spam emails a day from 15+ email accounts.

Tips & Warnings
  • Check your spam folder from time to time, some legit email might get caught in there.
