No, unless the e-mails contain viruses.

You'll probably need to compress it. Or if you are actually one of the ones who pay for email service, you can add storage to your memory. Try using the compress files on your start screen. Read your computers help me guide first, I would recommend.

If you are using Yahoo just mark one as spam and you will be taken through the process of setting up your bulk mail folder.\nBe thank for just having a few hundred, my email has 15000 items to be sorted, since on occasion something is misclassified, I don't have my bulk folder to automatically delete items.

AVG is free from www.grisoft.com.  That will give you a good virus scanner.  Then you need a spyware program, like Spybot Search and Destroy.  In email, you really can't stop the bulk messages.  Abandon that email address and start a new one.

I've spent hours cleaning up Slow and corrupted computers all thanks to Incredimail. \n\nThis program is constantly screwing up and rendering user's PC's useless to receive mail. I have known of several cases where this software has screwed up the mail settings to the point that you must uninstall it and then clean the registry just to receive mail again. Now add the spam, spyware, adware and the mailware...Bad News!\n\nIf you want your computer to run smoothly...I suggest you stay far away from this JUNK!

because it is spam.  it is automatically routed there as a benefit to you so your mailbox is not full of useless, unwanted junk mail.  i occasionally check mine before deleting it - it is 99.9999% all the time junk.\n\nif you discover spam (junk) email in your regular box, select "Mark as Spam" and future emails of this type will not arrive in box.\n\nIf there are valid emails in Bulk mail, likewise mark them as Not spam.  it will return these messages to your regular inbox and allow delivery of future messages from this source.

Well, one thought is to switch to a better client.  Outlook Express's spam filters aren't too great, but Mozilla Thunderbird's work pretty well (and it's free like Outlook Express).  It uses adaptive filters, which essentially work by learning what types of mail you consider to be junk.  At first most of the spam will still get into your inbox, but you manually mark it as junk and rather quickly, Thunderbird is able to tell spam from good mail.  You can choose to have the spam instantly deleted or placed in a junk folder for your review.\n\nOption 2 requires money.  You can purchase the regular version of Outlook that comes with Microsoft Office, which has better filters than Express.  Or you can buy Norton Internet Security, which comes with a special anti-spam plug-in for both Outlook Express and Outlook, although it seems to work better on Outlook from my experience.\n\nThe current setup on my computer is Outlook 2003 coupled with Norton Internet Security 2006, which has proven very effective in zapping spam.  I had previously used Outlook Express, which gave me similar problems to those you were having with drug-related emails slipping by the filter.  Very rarely do I ever see junk mail in my inbox anymore, though.

There is no maximum as long as they are your client base and they have asked to receive email from you.\n\nSend it to the wrong people and you will be relegated to the bulk folder in no time.

NO ,  for Hotmail account, it does not have any effect, except by opeing your box and your system is slow already then opening the page of your inbox will as well slow

The reason why some of that mail is going to your bulk folders you have your spam filter turned on.  The spam filter places all suspicious e-mails and to the bulk folder, but every now and then it will catch an e-mail that you were expecting a place in the bulk folder. I'm assuming that you're using Yahoo Mail.  If I were you I'd create rules for my friends and family so that their mail gets directed to their own personal boxes. just hit empty bulk files.

definitely spam, and a lot of these carry spyware or viruses so be careful when you open them and never follow any of the links in them.

I receive 0 Bulk emails because you can set it to automatically just delete it as they come in. You won't ever see them and all the mail from friends and everyone else will still go to the inbox.

Not neccessarily. If you have in your bios settings for your pc to search in cdrom, floppy, network & then the harddrive for the operating system it will take longer, as does if you have the standard bios check running first. Once your OS is loaded if you have tons of junk running on start up it can take forever for your pc to load. No idea what OS you have - run>msconfig to see what is running on start up. You can download msconfig on google if you have XP. Hijack this is also good to check for things that should not be loading. While your at it download spybot search & destroy and adaware to check for junk. They will also clean your pc of cookies that phone home and slow your pc on the internet. Download Cleanup! & that will clean everything on your pc freeing up memory & anything the previous programs might have left.\n\nLast but not least, once your pc is running clean & lean of junk sucking power and using your connection for it's own nefarious means and slowing you down. Sometimes it's just the website. They might have tons of junk running that slows load time. They might not have the fastest servers. They might not be able to handle x amount of concurrent visitors (think rush hour on expressway all getting off at one exit). If you can load one site quickly, and another is a constant slow one... it's not you.\n\n512 will only make your pc be able to load things into memory faster which would include your browser (think big pic's trying to load), but does not affect sites you are trying to visit as long as they are moving along on their side (think of it like someone is handing you plates, 256ram you can handle so many plates, at 512ram you can handle more  plates that are heavier... but if the guy handing them to you is still slow..... your being faster doesn't do much good) The DSL will do the biggest bang on speed. Cleaning your pc of temp internet files & cookies will help your speed since they won't be clogging your DSL with phoneing home.\n\nSo to sum it up... clean your pc & get the 512 upgrade. You will notice a performance boost from both. If you really want to get faster dump IE & just use Firefox for browseing. Your DSL might want you to log on with IE, but you can still open up browser pages with Firefox. Firefox runs faster because it is not bogged down with all kinds of stuff you don't need. You can pick your options from it's extensions (faster fox, no script, customize google are few good ones to use) it's also less susceptible to holes and problems like IE is.\n\nps. Just saw your note - 2ghz celeron is fast enough - if you are just surfing, emailing & doing basic stuff on your pc its fine. If you are into games or other performance intensive uses then you might want a faster processor. Though if you are surfing & maybe bookkeeping or writing reports (or whatever) keeping your pc clean & the 512 will help the most. I'd also recommend your looking up "blackviper" on google (some sites still post the info) he had an excellent tutorial on what MS has running in the background on your pc by default, what it is and the safety of shutting it down. Stopping unneeded programs this way, msconfig and other tools does lot's for performance. You can have the fastest car, but if you are running the air, lights on & a generator out of the cigarette lighter, your gonna take a performance hit. & Check out this link for better info on keeping your pc clean. \n\nIt's alot of info, but once you try it - you'll see it's not difficult at all.
