Change it to a FREE email addy like Yahoo, Hotmail or whatever, and don't log into that account for more than 30 days and they are suppose to de-activate it. After they de-activate it, sign up for a new one different name, or if you can unsubscribe. Netscape also has FREE email. These are just a few. Barb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scarlett Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 You could always mark it as spam. And or block the address. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blim Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Wow, I'm the lucky one here. Long, long time ago, I signed up for the TTV newsletter (you could do that without joining) and when the format changed to gaming, I just replied asking them to take me off the list because I wasn't interested in gaming. Haven't received one since. Shortly after TTV changed to G4TTV, there were a LOT of posts from folks wanting to delete their accounts. The replies to them were,"there is no way to delete the account. Just don't come here anymore." (another reason I didn't join!)Marty, instead of changing your email address (that would be a pain) have you tried putting a "phony email address" in your profile? Or as Barb suggested, get a "freebie" and put that in your profile.And as Scarlett suggested, in IE you can block the sender (don't know about the other browsers)Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scarlett Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 As I am only familiar with Hotmail and Yahoo. Not so sure about others.Niether of them are premium accounts, BTW. There is an option to block the sender, within your e-mail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then you can use the link in the email to unsubscribe.Then once you do that, change the email to a junk one.' Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When you get there you will have 3 choices: Low, Enchanced, Exclusive. You will see explanation for each. I have mine on exclusive as you will only receive email from addresses in your contacts (address book).Check and make sure G4 has not got into your address book, if so delete it.Hope this is what you wanted.Barb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
