- What program are you talking about?
- Most mails tend to come from the outside, somewhere on the world wide internet? Where do yours come from?
- If you think it's a Mac problem (this is a Mac forum after all) try using a PC instead. Do they stop now? Or do they arrive now on the PC?

Help - Top Stories-Google News
Sep 30, 2011 3:28AM PDT

Both my wife and I share the same email address on our individual computers. She does not get any of these items in her mail!! I have found a site on my Apple MAIL browser for Google News, but I can not find anything there that allows me to delete that program and stop the receipt of TOP STORIES-GOOGLE NEWS on my computer.

You're still not very clear.

1. I googled "Apple mail browser for Google News" and this thread is the only hit that turns up.
2. You found "a site". There are millions and millions of sites. What site did you find?
3. If it's a program on that site you can't delete it. If it's Apple Mail you don't want to delete it.

Maybe someone who has a Mac and knows Apple Mail will recognize your problem and be able not only to identify it but help you to get rid of those mails also. In the meantime, you can try to setup an e-mail rule to automatically delete those mails or move them to your spam folder.

Looks like this is not a program,

just a setting in your Mail. In the preferences, there is something called RSS. This is how Google news may send it to you. I have a special browser for RSS viewer (Safari) that I don't usually use; I also use mostly Firefox. If you click on RSS reader and select an unused browser, then chances are these e-mails (actually, news) will come to that browser (as special live bookmarks) rather than to your e-mailer. Hope I understood you right.
