  Step 1:  Add a New Screen Name

Open a Report
If you don't want to receive unwanted e-mails from people you chat with, create a new screen name and set the junk e-mail settings to filter out all mail. To do this, first click open the Setting menu and then select the Screen Names option.
  Step 2:  Creating a New Name

Open a Report
In the Screen Names window, click on Create New Name, and then in the next window, click on Create New name again. Now type in the name you want to use and then click on the Continue button and follow the directions given to complete the new name.
  Step 3:  Open Mail Controls

Open a Report
Click open the Mail menu now, and select Mail Controls.
  Step 4:  Block All E-mail

Open a Report
In the Mail Controls window, click on Set Up Mail Controls. In the new window that opens, select the new screen name from the pull-down menu, and then select "Block all email from being delivered to this screen name." Click on Next, and then select Save to set the changes. If you use this screen name now for chatting, no one you chat with will be able to e-mail you unless you give them a different screen name.
