Anyone having problems with Hotmail?

The junk email is worse than usual, I keep getting stuff with attachments over 100KB, sometimes 1MB...it keeps filling up...anyone else having this problem?

1. No but here's what you can do

I have several hotmail accounts and for the last couple months hardly any junk, I've been impressed at the changes there.

Go to options and be sure that your junk mail filter is set on exclusive for a few days so that you only receive mail from people in your address book. If you are expecting a message from an unknown person, you can kick it down to enhanced until you get that message then put it back on exclusive.

It worked for me.

Don't ever open junk mail, they can tell if you did and it triggers more. Don't visit porn sites. Can't think of any other tips right now but I've been very happy with the improvements in my service recently, hope you can fix your problems as easily.

2. that's the thing...

i've been very happy with them recently too, i have the junk filter set to exclusive, and once in a while i browse the junk folder, to make sure nothing i need goes there, but 2 days ago this new things started happening where junk emails are huge, and completely fill up the account...

thanks for the advice though!
