The concern is that fully loading a message can automatically follow links and retrieve content that could be harmful to your computer. Some tools and configurations might retrieve the entire message when it is received while other will only show the subject line or the text-only portions of a message until the user allows the rest of the content. Look in your settings for something along the lines of "Privacy and Security." Disable anything that involves automatically retrieving content or allowing remote content or allow images. You should think hard about enabling anything that sounds like the tool is making it easier for content to get onto your computer. Some steps that I take: - Disable any automatic retrieval - Enable automatic SPAM filtering (I never open anything in the SPAM/JUNK folder) - If the subject is obviously a scam, delete the message without even looking at it, even before a preview if that's possible - Don't allow the tool to retrieve any images or content until I'm comfortable the message is legitimate - Only if I trust the sender and the subject and if I really need to images do I allow the tool to retrieve those - if I can get the gist of the message without the images then I don't need to take that risk - RARELY do I open emails containing forwarded jokes

I agree, unsubscribe it & don’t open it, because as soon as you do they’ll know they have a live person. Delete it or unsubscribe it, just don’t open it. Then they’ll never know if you got it, just don’t open it!

As for all those that do not have an unsubscribe hyperlink - delete these you click on anything in that email and annoying things will start happening. In some cases you can block them off, some not, this depends on yrou email client and service. Best to find a way to block them off. Also just because it's in your inbox doesn't mean it's not junk, many are sliding by these days, and we see the numbers increasing weekly. These are best to mark as junk and then follow the above instructions. Lastly ALWAYS do everything behind a VPN, and preferably not Nord, etc. We use proton. it's far better than any one here. Reason is USA VPNs must keep logs, so your P in VPN is a lie. be careful when doing this, it is the only way to actually get rid of them without them 'picking up your scent'

In general, the rule of thumb is to mark junk email as Spam and Unsubscribe from email that you simple wish to stop forwarding ads or information. |
