Email Suggestions 

1. Email Addresses: In most cases your Internet provider will give you multiple email addresses. Have one that you give to family and friends and the other email addresses for signing up for a list you want. Example would be for a cooking website you want information from.

2. Never respond to a spam email because once you do the spammers know the your email address is a good one.

3. Email Messages: Never click on a link in a email unless it comes from a trusted source. Even then be careful because someone could have Spoofed the trusted email address.

4. Yahoo:
If you use Yahoo Mail then you can use disposable email addresses. Go to Mail Options and add many as you may need.

Some may be asking how this will help with spam, well when you need to give out a email address use one of the disposable email addresses and if you start to get a lot of spam just delete the disposable address and the spam is gone.
