This is how you get rid of spam: tips for a clean mailbox!
What's new in the digital world? An important topic that affects many of us is dealing with unwanted emails. According to the Krone , the distinction between newsletter and spam often often causes confusion. Newsletters are the emails that we have actively requested to receive information or special offers from companies. In contrast, there is spam: these undesirable emails come without our consent and often bring advertising, phishing attempts or even viruses.
An important aspect in the fight against spam is awareness of the legal framework. The shipping of Spam is prohibited in Germany. Nevertheless, it is also advisable in Austria to keep an eye on your own email settings. If you no longer want to get a newsletter, you can easily do this: click on the deregistration link, which can usually be found at the end of the email, usually is enough. However, it is important to note that some companies can request confirmation of the cancellation, for example by entering the email address.
Use spam risks
But how do you best deal with spam? The Consumer protection page offers some practical tips. For example, it may make sense to block senders directly in the email programs. The creation of a new email inbox can also help minimize the amount of spam. However, you should make sure not to specify this new address on too many websites so as not to fall directly back into the spam trap. In this context, Gmail is particularly recommended, since this provider has an effective spam filter system.
Another focus should be on the fact that spam messages often also include deregistration links. Caution is advised here! Clicking on such links could result in accompanying inquiries and thus result in more spam. It is therefore advisable to regularly control your own spam folder and to avoid paid services that only unnecessarily burden the user.
With the tips mentioned above in mind, it should be possible to get the superfluous emails under control and make email communication much more pleasant. Let's stay on the ball and share our experiences in dealing with the diverse challenges of digital communication!
