How would I permanently stop all these spam e-mails sending to my hotmail?
Like the title, it's because my junk folder get's flooded with these useless spam and junk mail, some might even get into my inbox somehow and I was wondering if there's a way to stop it permanently. I've read about the software about confirming if they're human and such, but I also have my twitter connected to that so I don't think it'll work, any other ways?

it's not possible on hotmail, but gmail has a thing where you can filter out certain words in e-mails to be marked as spam, but there is no way to stop spam because it will always end up in the junk folder. Your best thing to do would be to create two accounts. You can use your hotmail to sign up for stuff that could send you spam, and use a g-mail or yahoo as a personal e-mail, and maybe even get another one for facebook, twitter, etc.

You could try one thing - open up the email and scroll to the bottom; they usually have a "unsubscribe" option there, which will direct you to a new window when you click on it, and you have to type in your email address to make sure you stop getting spam from there.

Nothing you can do to stop it. Mark those spams appearing in inbox as spam. Whats the big deal about your junk folder? That's what it's there for. Just dump it once in awhile.
Edit: And do NOT use the unsubscribe on them! All that will do is make them aware of the fact that it's a legit email address.

basically the only thing you can do is make another email and stop using the old one that gets all the spam, you cannot stop it, it is a pain in the ass but that is one of the joys of the internet
