How do I report junk mail to Microsoft instead of just deleting it? I gave my
private e-mail to apple.com since I'm having problems with my iPhone & now I
just received a lottery notification of 1.7 million dollars from Nigeria
which I know is BS. This is why I usually don't give that e-mail address out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)

I won't comment on the Apple thing. But I don't believe there is a way to
report junk mail to Microsoft, I suspect they have a number of accounts they
use for spam across the internet, and no doubt use data from 3rd parties
also to create their monthly spam definitions.

You can only report junk mail to Microsoft if you have a Hotmail
or Live.com account, and then only when using the newer Windows
Live Mail. It has a setting for reporting junk mail to Microsoft.
Those reports are used by Microsoft to improve their spam filter.
Junk mail downloaded through non-Microsoft accounts can be
reported to SpamCop: http://spamcop.net .

To upgrade to Windows Live Mail: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview
