(how to get all your Cheep Mail)

AOL AOL offers anti-spam services that put spam in a designated folder. Users can block specific emails by using keywords and URLs. If an email is thought to fit the description of spam using these keywords, it will be placed in a separate Spam folder. AOL customers with newer versions of the software can view the contents of their Spam folder. AOL 8 also has many options for blocking SPAM. Options range from blocking email from anyone without an AOL account to blocking all email except that which comes from addresses on a specific user-created list. If you choose strict email blocking options and a legitimate email is sent from an unexpected source, it may be blocked. For a tutorial on AOL 8 Spam blocking options, please visit

Excite Messages can be recognized by Excite as unsolicited or commercial in nature and will be delivered to a designated folder instead of your Inbox with one simple step. Go into the Bulk Mail Folder and click "Enable" towards the top of the page. The Bulk Mail Folder will then be periodically emptied by the system. It is possible that some legitimate email will be put into the Bulk Mail folder if it is enabled, so check there often to avoid losing important messages. If a vital email is sent to the Bulk Mail Folder and winds up on the Block List, click "Remove" so emails from this address will be sent to your Inbox in the future.
Earthlink Earthlink uses Spaminator Software:
What happens if Spaminator stops a legitimate email?
If the message was mistakenly classified as spam, you can send it back to your email account. To do so, click the radio button next to "Resend: Send this message to my email account." Then click "Send."
How do I read email caught in spam storage?
1. Click on the underlined subject of any email message. This will take you to a page that displays the email in full.
2. After you have read the message, you will be able to Delete Now (this permanently deletes the message) or Redirect (this sends the message to your email account and/or to the Spaminator to determine why it was mistakenly classified as spam).
How do I turn off Spaminator?
Go to
http://spaminator.earthlink.net.
In the EarthLink Email Address field, type your entire EarthLink email address. In the Earthlink Password field, type your password. Click "Login" then "Turn Off Spaminator."
Bottom Line: Check your Excite Spam Folder regularly. If you find a message that is not spam, send it to the Spaminator so the system will recognize that valid address. If problems persist, turn off Spaminator when expecting potential bulk email.
Hotmail Hotmail uses a Junk Mail Filter that examines incoming messages and automatically sends email it has identified as spam to your Junk Mail folder. You can choose from the different levels of protection spelled out below. Email sent to your Junk Mail folder is automatically deleted after a specified number of days. If you use the Junk Mail Deletion options, you can choose to have messages deleted as soon as they are sent to the Junk Mail folder.
To set up the Junk Mail Filter, click "Options" and then "Junk Mail Filter" under Mail Handling. You can decide from among the following levels of protection:
Default - This is the basic setting and is always turned on. Your Inbox will be protected on a minimal level. Generally, emails from Musictoday make it to the Inbox when Hotmail is on this setting. Despite the low protection level, it is important to still monitor your junk mail folder.
Enhanced - This level should catch most junk mail. Check your Junk Mail folder every week to make sure there aren't any valid messages in the folder. If you see a message that should not be in your Junk Mail folder, click "This is not Junk Mail" to avoid having email from the same source classified as junk in the future.
Exclusive - This setting is the best way to ensure that you receive no junk mail. You will only receive email from people or groups in your Contacts or on your Safe List; all other email will be sent to your Junk Mail folder (exceptions are MSN Hotmail WebCourier subscription newsletters and MSN Hotmail Member Letters).
If you set your Junk Mail Filter to either Enhanced or Exclusive, you can choose Junk Mail Deletion settings. On the Junk Mail Filter setting pages under "Choose what to do with your junk mail," choose "Delete junk mail immediately" or "Deliver to Junk Mail Folder and delete later," then click "Save Changes." If you choose to delete immediately, you may lose legitimate emails, such as confirmation emails from Musictoday.
Netzero Netzero relies on its email customers to set up filters to stop unwanted email from reaching their Inbox. Users can configure the program to filter email as it is received. In order to do this, keywords need to be identified from unwanted emails. After this is done, Netzero will filter all mail that fits the criteria set up by the user into the Trash folder. If you choose to set up a Spam filter, check the Trash folder regularly to make sure it contains no legitimate email. Be extremely careful when you pick keywords because you may unknowingly filter out important and legitimate email.
Yahoo The Yahoo Mail system automatically filters the majority of incoming bulk or commercial email directly to your Bulk Mail folder. If you receive mail in your Bulk Mail folder that you would like in your Inbox, you can set up a filter to redirect the mail. You can find more information at
http://help.yahoo.com/help/mail/manage/manage-06.html.
Yahoo may occasionally send non-Spam to your Bulk Mail Folder so make sure you check this folder from time to time. After 30 days, messages in the Bulk Mail folder are subject to deletion, so check regularly.
If you believe a message delivered to your Bulk Mail Folder should have been delivered to your Inbox, please click on "This is not spam" in the message. The email will be automatically forwarded to a Yahoo Customer Care associate for careful review. If you don't want a Bulk Mail folder at all, you can turn off the service by doing the following:
Click "Mail Options" and choose "General Preferences." Under the Special Folders section, uncheck the box located next to "Redirect incoming unsolicited mail to the Bulk Mail folder." Don't forget to click "Save" before you leave the page.
