What do I do to prevent getting so much spam mail?

I am getting more spam than ever in my Mail account .

I would like to know if there is a program ... ANYTHING

that I can use to block these. My husband uses gmail.

He said he selects, right clicks and never gets mail

from them again. What can I do on my laptop? I

do not like using gmail.


Also am interesting in a safe program for mac to clean my

entire computer.

Hi Korkie,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you need help to keep spam out of your inbox. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.


Mail (Yosemite): If junk mail filters aren’t working correctly

  • Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Junk Mail. Make sure “Enable junk mail filtering” and “Mark as junk mail, but leave it in my Inbox” are selected.
  • If you chose the junk mail preference to exempt addresses in your Previous Recipients list from filtering, check that your list contains only addresses you want to receive messages from. For more information, see Use the Previous Recipients list.

If you are concerned about adware and pop ups on the computer, this article has helpful information.
