I have found a few gems among the hype on her site but not enough to put up with the over priced sales pitches. I use Gmail and just marked her emails as spam and never got another one. Google auto unsubscribes for you from any email you mark as spam. I never get spam using Gmail. I don't use my internet provider email at all. Way to much spam gets through.

Been there done that! I actually changed my email addy because I got tired of the constant sales pitch. you can usually find the info online without having to BUY anything she is offering. Things like that turn me a little bit sour. They sound so greedy.

I am curious about how you do that, too. I know that I can and they will go in my spam folder, but I don't know how to I only have experience with Microsoft Outlook which allows you to create rules to move messages to other folders (i.e. all of my QB messages go to a separate folder marked "Quilting" so that I know when new messages are posted. Any messages I don't want to receive anymore I open that message, click on "Rules" and click "Always move to" and then select "Deleted Items". That way I never see it. Sometimes it can take a while to do it because those slicksters sometimes change their email addresses and you have to do it for every different email address :?[/quote]

Thanks, I've wanted to figure out how to "sort" my emails without scanning them and manually sorting to different folders. As to the "junk mail", I've block sender after sender and yes yahoo groups that I just got tired of receiving a gazillion emails from daily. Right now they still go to a junk folder but I also might receive something that goes into "junk" that I need to move back to my Inbox so I STILL have to scan, delete or move. I'm going to research further cause it sure would make life easier. Oh, and yes, the spammers figure out how to get around their blocked sender notice!!!!

Had the same problem with a different web site. Unsubscribed 2 or 3 times. Finally just made the sender SPAM. Now I just delete it with all the other unwanted e-mail. Hope this helps.

My provider allows me to block email (companies). They also gave me several additional email addresses so that the places that require an email address, but you know it will be spam, gets a valid address.

I too have had the same problem.

Thank you for the warning. I've had this happen with other sites and it is very annoying.

Ditto on this

Isn't there a way to block emails from certain addresses?
