Have you tried Mailwasher?



It works like a firewall but for emails.

Just remember to flag the ones you want to keep and it'll do the rest for you. You can buy the PRO version if you like it.

(1) if you dont know the person on this first sites real identity, then there is nothing you can do to get him prosecuted or anything else.

(2)it depends on what e-mail account you are using, you have to check within the company's rules if this is possible

(3)this is the only reason how this could have happened, either the person who tried to abuse you first has passed on your e-mail address or your computer has been infected with a virus that brings up these sorts of pictures.

(4) if this person is harrasing you through e-mail then you can report his e-mail address to the police, if they can catch him then he will no doubtly be sent to prison for under-age sexual harassment. if he is doing this in another site, you will have to e-mail the webmaster of that particular site, to try and remove him or get his e-mail address and account info, so to give to the police.



p.s if you cant get rid of these indecent e-mails then you may have to delete your account and create a new e-mail address, on a different e-mail type. please try to get this person sent to the police, so to help with child harassment, it will be helping you and others. and try to be carefuller on the web, don't give away e-mail address's to unknown people and try to keep clear of chat-rooms, that aren't protected

It was next to impossible to stop porn sites from coming in your email. I changed my email address and the sites stopped. Just be more selective who you give out your email to. I kept getting so much crap on my lap top too. Again, the penis enlargement and other garbage wouldn't stop. I changed my address on that too. Now I don't get undesirable sites on that either.

you are encountering a lot of stress for the sake of two minutes work my freind.



i too have encountered strange e-mails but a certain length of time you learn whats what and whats not.



only open e-mails from known sites-everything else gets deleted without opening the file.



also bear in mind that opening some of these sites can leave your pc open to allsorts of nasties and virusus so beware.

There is a person on this site who is sending abusive and vile emails. I consulted the Police and they told me to make a complaint, they can trace who is sending them.
