Have you tried finding those tiny text links at the bottom of (almost) every
spam mail? I don't know if it is by law or just common practice, but almost
all spam mail senders include an "unsubscribe" function. I've had periods
when I receive spam mail, and sometimes clicking that little unsubscribe
link has reduced my spam mail by 5-10 mails a day. I'm not saying
it -always- works.. I don't know if it does, but I've been spam free for a
year now...
Maybe I should add that most people don't notice it, as it's usually written
in as small a text as possible, and most people don't even bother to read
their spam, so it's no wonder.

: Somehow, I've gotten on to several spam mailing lists in the last few days
and I'd like to change my email address. I should say I run an iMac. I
have a couple questions/requests:
:
: 1) Could someone please tell me how to do this, AND how to let everyone in
my address book know (obviously I'll have to resubscribe to Klarinet)?
:
: 2) Will I lose all my saved messages and Sent messages to my current
address or lose the ability to access them?
:
: 3) Anything else I should consider before I make my move?
:
: I freely admit to being computer illiterate so if someone would kindly
give me step by step instructions for my iMac I'll be forever grateful.
:
: Many thanks!
