Good job. Someone should give this man a cookie!

thanks! this was pretty useful..

but i have tons of spam on my gmail account and have no idea how it all got there. Ever since i got the account, spam emails have been clogging my email. i get over 100 of them weekly =(

I don't know what to do!

Also, how is searching for an e-mail address on the web "illegal"? Opt-out from legitimate advertising from sites like ATT, Newegg, etc. WILL take you off of their mailing list.

I will agree that you should just delete spam of "Make penis grow" variety.

@jumi129 If you have spam in your gmail account then you are failing at something b/c google is VERY good at spam filtering. I haven't received more than 10 pieces of spam in the several years I've had my gmail account.

I noticed you only used the quotation marks with the second method, which searches for exactly what you type. When you use the quotation marks with the @yahoo then it actually comes up with several e-mail addresses.

YOU FAIL!
