The Golden Rule to help Prevent SPAM emails:
Never reply to a SPAM email
SPAM emails will almost always invite you to unsubscribe from their mailing list. This is a way for them to confirm your email address is real. It will offer a link, or it will say something like 'Reply to this email with UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject',  NEVER DO IT.

To avoid your email being picked up by email harvesting programs, when including your email address on a webpage (for example when you use a message board) try to obscure it. For example, use john AT yourprovider.com instead of using the @ symbol.

How can I report SPAM emails ?
     
To actively do something about the SPAM problem by reporting any SPAM emails you receive, here is where to go:
The legislation covering SPAM emails is the CAN-SPAM ACT (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act).
To report any SPAM emails forward a copy of them to spam@uce.gov.

Outlook Express 2Gb limit problem:
Outlook Express stores emails in special files with .DBX extension. Every Outlook Express folder has its own file with DBX extension. For example, Inbox folder has a corresponding Inbox.dbx file. There is a 2Gb limit for every DBX file and that can cause some serious problems. The problem is that the users often use e-mail nowadays to exchange different files with each other. As a rule, these are documents, photos, music, videos, program files, etc. and all these files can cause your mailbox to eventually reach the 2Gb limit.
