Email quota exceeded: solution

Block spam at Yahoo email account

I get too much spam at my Yahoo account. I was thinking of changing the email address. But, as you probably know, that’s not easy. Open to any sensible advice.

Difference between Cc and Bcc

I’ve recently been introduced to email so still kind of wet behind the ears. A genuine thank you for clearing many doubts in my mind. I now have a small question. In my free AOL email account, what is the difference between Cc and Bcc and what is their purpose?
