junk mail (Spam)
Junk mail, commonly known as spam, refers to unsolicited messages sent via email or physical mail. These messages often promote products, services, or scams and are typically sent in bulk to a large number of recipients. Spam can clutter inboxes and waste time, making it difficult for users to find important communications.
Many email providers have built-in filters to automatically detect and redirect spam to a separate folder. However, some spam messages can still bypass these filters, leading to potential security risks, such as phishing attempts that aim to steal personal information.
