Avoid spam in your IM email account

Did you ever sign up with an Instant Messenger client so that you could chat with your buddies? Perhaps you have more than one running on the desktop. Each popular IM client comes conveniently with an Email account, and each time there is an email associated with your IM screen name, you receive a notice with this account filling up. You can prevent the spam or any email notices from appearing by using a single filter. Since I added the following filter on my email account attached to my Yahoo IM, I no longer get these notifications. Simply add a filter that the From/ Address includes @ to go directly to trash. You will be able to communicate with all your IM buddies without the hassle of being notified of items coming into the inbox.
