I have recently tried and failed to delete an e-mail address; it seems
the ISP does not cater for the contingency.
The address concerned is an alias, defined via services on the ISP
website. It got spam trashed (spashed?)
so I went to the website and deleted the alias. The spam continued to
come. I went back to the website and checked; the alias does not exist.
I raised a support incident. Support suggest I use a new e-mail address.
Well yes but how do I get rid of the old one? Change ISP? or will they
follow me there with this deluge of spam?
This suggests that the concept of giving up an e-mail address is not yet
a reality for the average user:-(

Is there anyone out there who has ever had to abandon an email
account because the amount of spam became unbearable?
I'm convinced the answer is "yes"; I've heard far too many reports
of
that for me to believe they're all false.
You guys have GOT to be kidding.
