was anyone elses email addresses stolen from play?? We've have hundred's of well dodgy emails and threatened infections since they said they had had some stolen so we are just putting it down to that. It begining to wear me down though constantly deleting spam emails. Arrgggghhhh!!! Like i've not got enough to do with my time. ok rant over

No, not had any dodgy emails at all. I do get spam but just hit the delete button.

As long as it doesn't affect me then I can quite happily just hit the delete button!

I haven't had any either, although Sky has a pretty good spam filter. I had an email from M & S to advise that they have had problems with customer emails as well.

Spam is a pain but as long as you realise what it is then it's not a problem.

I had that email from M&SW as well Skip - not had anything untoward yet as far as I am aware!

[Skippy]

I'm amazed M & S managed to send it to me - they send all their special offer emails to my old Hotmail account, not my Sky account. When I tried to change the address the Hotmail address isn't on there! And the best thing is the one about spam went to my work address, which also isn't on there!

Mine went to my old BT account - I get enough spam on there anyway so one or two more won't hurt!

Try downloading Incredimail Struzzo. Since I started using it a few years ago I've had no problem with Spam mail. It normally dumps them at source but if any 'sneak' in they get marked [SPAM] . the mail client is free for the basics but can cost £20 for a lifetime subscription ... then there are lots of other extras you have to pay for ... but I've never bothered with them.

A lot of the time it is down to how easy your email address is to type in. My sky one has very little spam on there, even BT doesn't get that much and my hotmail one has had none.

Have to say Wizz that I don't rate Incredimail - I used it on BT and it didn't stop any at all.

My BT address always had loads of spam, probably because BT sold addresses on - I came back from holiday and there were over 500 emails in my spam folder! I hardly get any with my Sky account.

[kallis3]

I never had that amount at all - even though I still have the BT account open I don't get a lot of spam.

With Sky, hardly any and none with my hotmail.
