Microsoft Hotmail


So you have Hotmail and you can't
figure out all the tabs, I can help on
the spam filters and where to find
them.












Here is my screen shot of my site, 
yes I try to keep it this empty.  Less
mess is a good thing.

Task Bar:  I have selected these items
Block  Delete  Archive  Report  Move to folder
Reply Categorize Snooze and undo   ...






















On the task bar, you will find several dots
at the end of the tasks.  That is where you 
will find the drop down menu to do more!  
You want to select the Rules with the arrow 
to the right.

                                                                                                                                                                      Click on the arrow to drop down to 
find where you can add filters.  These
are great in putting emails in the junk
instead of the inbox.

You will need to keep checking all your files due
to some of the filters will put your safe folks' 
emails in the junk file.  Keep sending them to the

Late afternoon I ran a virus scan and
found malware.  I spent time with my
tech support and was directed to have
another check into the laptop.  While
on the chat, I received several spam
emails!
