How do I know if an email I send will end up in someone's inbox or spam folder?
You want to contact a person through email. You have sent it to that person. You are looking forward to a response but you don’t receive any. Ever wondered about the possible reasons behind him/her not reverting back to you? Bright chances are that your email has been delivered to “Spam” folder of the recipient. How can we help emails avoid the spam box?Following are few points which helps you to understand the same:1. Spam marked by the audiencePeople subscribe to your email with some expectations. If not fulfilled, they tend to mark it as spam. The below situations can be one of the reasons for this.Sending too many emails as it leads to irritation.Sending less number of emails as people tend to forget who you are. They also forget that they did subscribe to your emails in the past.2. Goodwill with the MailBox providerIt does happen that people tend to ignore emails sent by you. The mailbox provider senses that the number of email opening and clicks in the email content have deteriorated for your emails. People ignoring your email, hampers your goodwill with the mailbox provider. People expect the mailbox provider to filter the emails not desired by them and put it in updates/spam. Such situations should be avoided.3. Buying an email list is not advisedThe mailbox provider does not appreciate the idea of a purchased email list.

Can you put up a sign on your mailbox that says "No junk mail" and expect the post office to respect it?
Postal carriers don't use the term, “Junk mail”, we call non first class, no request to be forwarded mail “bulk business mail”.Carriers are mandated to deliver any letter/parcel with a clear designation and paid postage. Anything from “free” political mail to expensive heavy parcels. If we delay, throw away, and/or destroy mail we can receive discipline anything from getting written up including removal and/or arrest.The problem lies in some companies send important correspondence via bulk mail either to save money or to trick thieves who steal first class mail. Also, newer carriers may not know all the differences between the different classes of mail. Let's say your carrier doesn't deliver “junk mail” at your request, what if something important doesn't get delivered? You report it, the Post office does and investigation, the carrier admits to not delivering some mail…he's probably fired.If you personally know your carrier and you two have an understanding about what's “junk” they might do it but they might ask you to give a written letter to the Post Master asking if he can. But you have more control over what gets mailed to you. Look for a website or number on the mail and contact them and ask to get off the mailing list.Or…………just recycle it.
What is the easiest way to email bomb someone?
I’m a fan of pranks conducted in good humour, but email pranks can get you into real trouble. The sanctions for spamming are extremely severe if the recipient does not share your penchant for humour.
How often do you check your mail (real snail mail in a mailbox, not email)?
I check my mailbox once a day, every day except Sunday.And it is an opportunity for Vivi and Ginger, my sweet little dog and my rascally orange kitty to go for a short walk down the driveway with me and to play with each other.Ginger and Vivi are both 15 pounds and Ginger is always attacking Vivi as she tries to walk by. This time, Vivi decided to go under my truck to try to get into the house without being accosted by Ginger.My little furry friends make everything better. Even a walk to the mailbox.Thank you for the A2A, Lisa.Photos: my own.
Will USPS deliver mail if names on mail and mailboxes don't match?
Will USPS deliver mail if names on mail and mailboxes don't match?Generally, yes.A lot of letter carriers deliver by address and largely ignore names.Many rural letter carriers tend to use a combination of name and address when sorting mail, and an unusual name may throw them for a bit of a loop at the sorting case if the item came through as raw mail, but if it was machine sorted at the processing plant, they may possibly not even notice the different name as long as the address is correct.I always deliver an item as addressed as a default. Sometimes it is addressed in error, but one often doesn’t know that for a fact and there definitely could be a reason why someone wanted something addressed to them but at a different address.When you get to know a route well, you know most of your customers, and this means that you often know what to do when you see different things that are unusual. For instance, you know that a person used to live at one address and has moved to another, and that when something addressed to them at their old address comes along, you see to it that it goes where they live now.Sometimes you see an item addressed to an unfamiliar name at an address ‘or current resident’, and you highlight ‘or current resident’ in yellow in hopes that the recipient won’t try to leave it in the box with the flag up for you to collect and dispose of. After a customer does that a time or two, you know not to give them anything that has their address but someone else’s name on it since they don’t want it.Most boxes do not have names on them anymore. When they do, often the name is of a previous occupant and is out of date. For privacy’s sake, last names on mail boxes have fallen out of favor in most places. Usually it’s seen in small towns and rural areas where everyone knows - or is related to - everyone else, anyway.
How is spam email come to my inbox addressed to someone else?
I'll answer the second question first. The easiest way to achieve this is to send an email TO: someone and put the actual person you want to receive the email in the BCC: field. The email will go to both people but only the first one will be listed in either recipient's email. As far as the spam is concerned, all your antagonist would have to do is go to a disreputable website and sign up for their mailing list with your email address. these sorts of sites sell all the email addresses they get to spammers. He could even have simply posted your email address to a website somewhere - any website would do - and the spammers will find that email address wherever it is and start sending spam to it. He could have forwarded an email along in a chain that included your email address. Every time you forward a chain email you forward dozens of other people's email addresses along with the email. If this fell into the wrong hands, all of the people that had ever seen the email could start receiving spam. Lastly, some viruses look through people's hard drives for email addresses and start sending spam to whatever email addresses they find. These sorts of viruses also tend to fake where they are coming from and going to using other email addresses found on the same computer. As you can see, all of these possibilities are just as likely to have been caused by an accident by someone you know than maliciously by your antagonist. It's probably not just a coincidence that it happened now. I guess you are email a lot of people with regards to your ongoing court case and one of those people may have had a virus or may have been careless with your email address. There's an old saying: "Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by stupidity." Of course, it is still possible that this was malicious but it would be pretty difficult to prove either way. Once the spammers have your email address it's pretty much impossible to get them to give it up. You might as well get used to getting spam and start learning how to filter it out.
How to get rid of obscene junk mail?
1: The Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov) is supposed to help you eliminate spam mails. Forward spam to: spam@uce.gov, in the subject line enter something like "unsubscribe link results in more spam", "unwanted spam message", "no unsubscribe link" or something similar. Here's how to do the forwarding bit: click the crtl key and at the same time click the "forward" button to forward a message as an attachment, mac users should click the "apple" key and click "forward" simultaneously. When the FTC gets your mail, they will look into the matter and when they find out who the spamming source is, they will take legal actions. http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/edcams/spam/index.html 2: Check Mailwasher, it helps to eliminate spam from your inbox... Set up your email account(s) in MailWasher and hit the "Check Mail" button. It then downloads all new message headers and displays message details alongside each one (priority, subject, from, to, etc.). Any email that MailWasher considers to be spam is highlighted for easy sorting. Two checkboxes are located next to each message header: "Delete" and "Bounce". If you click "Delete" the email will be marked for deletion, click "Bounce" and the mail will be marked for bouncing - a fake "address not found" email will be sent to the sender. Once you have decided what to bounce and delete, click "Process Mail" to get it done and your mail client launched for downloading all accepted emails. MailWasher has a "blacklist" and a "friends list" to enter good and bad email addresses. Addresses in the blacklist are marked for deletion, and addresses in the friends list will be marked as okay. Filters can be set to increase MailWasher's effectiveness. You can have email addressed to "undisclosed recipients" automatically deleted and bounced for example. Note: the program is free but limited to one email account. MW Pro supports multiple mail accounts.
