i am trying to figure out if there is something i am not
doing right on my outlook express to block spam. i am
getting hundreds of spam, at one point i opened my e-mail
and i had over 1500 e-mails. is there something i am
supposed to be checking under options or anywhere else?
 
Outlook Express -- indeed, any email application -- can provide only limited
assistance in blocking spam. The problem is much, much larger than the
capabilities of any application.

If you are getting over 1500 e-mails a day, I would offer the following
suggestions:
1. See if your ISP offers a spam blocking service.
2. Install third-party spam-blocking software. (Search the Internet and
you'll get dozens of choices.)
3. Get a new e-mail address.

You must also practice spam avoidance techniques, such as using a different
address for Internet shopping.
