Spam in yahoo account

[vijaythefool]

I need help to remove spams from my yahoo a/c . some of the spammers have been unscribed but some dosent have any such option or hardly have any message inside it. is ther any software to stop spamming ? if so please suggest me to remove this spams

[iinfi]

ON spamguard settings in yahoo>options>spam guard

and check the "deliver spam to bulk folder" option

[vijaythefool]

i dont want it to come to the bulk tooo
bulk folder is full . some of my wanted mails go to bulk

[theraven]

create a filter add the addresses to it
and direct it directly to ur trash
should be simple enuff

and markin emails as spam will enable yahoo filters to be more efficient
and those emails will automatically be directed to bulk
thats what that folder is ther for and it doesnt account for usage of ur mail box
u can makr ur wanted mails as NOT spam and they will come to ur inbox and not bulk
anyways ur wish

Or you could use another Email Client with the YPOP software (I use Microsoft Outlook ) You can then configure rules to filter out your messages based on these rules and can block the addresses you need to..

yes i agree that yahoo's spam filtering is not 100% accurate ... some important mails end up in the bulk folder ..... but again nothing is 100% accurate ....

it will take some time before yahoo's spam filtering gets used to your habits .....
be patient .....
and direct your spam to bulk and do not opt for deleting your spam directly ..... it will allow u to occationally view your bulk folder and c if there are any imp mails there ...

raven when a mail is send for the first time it moves out to spam with all the other 100's of mails which is not easy to find out . each time i give out my email address to some one ill have to filter them before they send me a mail. hotmail works much better by blocking @somesite.com

Got any software , some one's developing ? impossible !
By the time i made this post i got another 20 to 30 spams

What if i delete my id for some time and creatre it after a week or two . would it stop spams ? Hope some one dosent take off my id by the time..

[iinfi]

well if u wanna delete your ID.... u wontbe able to access your ID ......
those IDs will be kept in the yahoo server for 70-90 days before the same name being thrown open to public.

its only after 70-80 days you will be able to create an ID of the same name ..... till then no access ....

well i wuc advice you to ON the SPAM GUARD and be patient for a week or two ....

AND SWITCH OF GRAPHICS IN YOUR MAILS

AND DONT CLICK ANY html LINKS IN THE MAILS WHICH YOU THINK ARE SPAM

following these two steps will greatly reduce your number of SPAMS per day ...

hope this helps

i got lots of emails from rediff. yahoo, hotmail, etc . that too with familiar indian names . this time its no viagra,.....enlargement,or loans but testing viruses and lots of exe attachments . before at least there use to be an unsubscribe link.

and there is no html in any of these mails its plain text with few having links

Vijay please dont live up to ur nickname

NEVER press unsubscribe or youre dead
Thats some dummy stuff
And clicking itr confirms that that is an active used ID

i had lots of spam . i removed most of them using the unsubscribe. which worked for a well reputed site. and i never go for clicking when i doubt it
.
i got anonymous mails to . i mean mails from my own mail address , Cracked my password ? nopes , just troubling .... any ideas to get rid off all this stuff
its very recently i started to get all this mails from yahoo, hotmail,etc .
thjis time iam fed up

[iinfi]

when ever u get such spams do u select the mails and press the spam button
and did u on spam guard??

[vijaythefool]

YES every thing has been done a long back !
now it has become intense . i wonder who would have given away my id for this spammers ? i usually dont provide this email address at any site

[iinfi]

after switching all the spam guard and directing it to the bulk folder u still have spam mails in your inbox??

thats strange .... i had such a problem for a few days ...but after switching on the spam guard settings it was fine .......

i get around 10-20 mails in the bulk folder ... all are spam .....
some times .... useful mails land up in the bulk folder ...
cant help it

antarius is right, clicking on unsubscribe link (or for that matter any link )is a dead giveaway that the mail id is active .NEVER DO THAT .spammers never care abt ppl like us (else they wuldnt be spammers )
and a point to note is mails in ur bulk dont add up to ur inbox size (now that yahoo is gonna giv 1 GB that wont be an issue )
so never click on any fishy sounding email ,just mark it as spam ,and turn html OFF .and change settings to keep bulkmail for 14days or some convenient days so that u hav enough time to check that mail u got was really spam . and it may take another 4 - 5 months to see some drop in the amount of spam u receive .

Hey guys i get more than 59 spam each day and sometime get 90+ each day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(this is just the avg.)

Hi I had heard about the site, form wich we can get emails which sent to yahoo. But only mails from the contacts who are in our adress book are delivered to our email. All other mails will be delivered to separate folder till we aprove the mail is not spam. I think this matter allready discussed in digit. Please post url here.
Bye

Hmm...

Welcome to the desert of real

My email filters were used up long time ago .. Then I started unsubscribing .. Then reporting as Spam .. I get around 300 spams daily on Yahoo .. And 90% of them are delivered to Bulk Folder which I never check ..

[choudang]

this is a common prob with yahoo. i get lots of spam from such a site where i never visited. thats why i always click on empty without have a look to the Bulk Folder
