- Hi Otarakiwi. Thank you for being a long-time loyal customer and we do apologize that you are receiving an influx of spam messages.To assist in reducing the amount of spam, you can also mark them as spam, which will remove them from the inbox. For a workaround, you can create a filter to assist with removing spam as well. Please let us know if you need further assistance. Thanks, Lisa - Cox Support Forums Moderator
i got online every morning and mark the emails as spam and i will get another 3 or 4 in the afternoon. i also forward to cox spam and they sill come back. how do i create a filter?
- Hi Otarakiwi, open your Inbox and click on the gear icon in the upper right-hand corner. From the drop-down menu, click Settings. From the Settings menu, click on Inbox, and then click on Auto Forward. Make sure that the Auto Forward feature is not enabled. Then, click on Filter Rules. Click the blue "Add new rule" button to add a Filter Rule. The Rule name should closely align with the purpose of the rule. Type in a name for the new rule, and then click on the "Add condition" link. The conditions define the type of email you want to filter. If you add more than one condition, be sure to change the "apply" status to "Apply rule if any condition is met." Next, click on the "Add action" link. The actions specify what you want to do with the filtered email. Click the checkbox to "process subsequent rules" and then click Save.
For example, I created a rule to move all emails with the word "enhancement" in the Subject line or Body of an email to the Spam Folder.
• Rule name: Enhancement
• Condition 1: Subject contains Enhancement
• Condition 2: Body contains Enhancement
• Apply rule if any condition is met.
• Actions: File into [select folder] Spam
I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have further questions. -Becky, Cox Support Forums Moderator
beysldjan@xdmadybtgqltajdkwd.storenzantiltyp.com - this is just one of the email addresses today i got. I have it blocked but it will come back and i will mark it as spam but still arrives the next day advertising simplisafe or senior care or trump care or crepe erase - 25 years ago my email was @excite and then a few years later cox was created and they changed my email to cox.net and i haven't had any issues until now
Just imagine the number of people who don't even know about this message board who, like us, hate what has happened to our email accounts. (Chase)
