Hi,



Anyone know why email [SPAM[ has started going into inbox rather than spambox on emails..

I am getting Viagra/rolex/pfizer/medication suppliers etc going straight into inbox has always in the past gone into my spambox on emails.

I use McAfee and Uniblue to protect my pc

Your email address has been 'harvested' from somewhere.... and then propagated.



Have you joined any sites and given an email address?



Or signed up for some web site and left that pesky box ticked... you know the one.. 'I would like to receive regular updates and news'

Go into your address book and delete their details from it. Should stop them coming into address book. I have an email address that automatically adds addresses to the address book, so if something comes in it will keep coming.
