Email spam and unwanted messages pile up in your inbox because spammers send millions of emails hoping a few people will respond. Email filtering is how your email service sorts incoming messages and catches spam before it reaches you. Understanding how these filters work—and how to adjust them—helps you keep your inbox clean while making sure important messages don't get blocked by mistake.
The articles here cover practical questions like how to report spam so filters learn from it, how to create rules that automatically sort or delete certain messages, how to unsubscribe from mailing lists you no longer want, and how to recover messages that got filtered incorrectly. You'll also learn why some legitimate emails end up in spam folders and what you can do about it.
