How to Block Junk in Hotmail
Most email programs and browser-based email services offer a spam or junk mail folder where unwanted email can be routed instead of your inbox. You can later review these emails to determine whether they are actually junk mail. Hotmail users can set levels of protection against junk mail and customize its handling.
