In the past 6 weeks I have been getting many bulk mails each day (sometimes up to 40 or 50). I want to get rid of most of them but some are listed in my favorites and I need those. Help would really be appreciated. Thanks
If you have certain bulk mailings you want to keep, then you must add them to your address book to continue to receive them.
To STOP all other unwanted email, do the following:
Log into your Email, go to Options (upper right hand side). Go through all your settings and don’t forget to save them too.
Under Spam Protection, make sure your Spam Guard is turned ON. Option to immediately delete all Spam messages. This will force all new email to redirect to your Inbox. Option to Block messages that you mark as Spam. If you plan on keeping your
Bulk folder, also option messages you mark as Not-Spam to be moved to your Inbox. Always Option to Block all Images until you can look them over first. Save Changes.
Under Blocked Addresses, type in spammer.com, this will stop all Spam that has been reported to Yahoo from ever entering your email. I recommend you remove everything on your list first. This will give you a fresh start after you type in the “spammer.com”.
Under General Preferences, Folders/Search Results, Special Folders, option to redirect incoming unsolicited email to the Bulk Folder. Save.
If you get email from someone you don’t know, NEVER open it (it may contain viruses) and report it as SPAM. This will automatically block it from your email account. When you do open an email that is Spam, you have alerted the sender that your account is Active.
This should slow down the Junk Mail considerably. I only get maybe one or two Spam emails a Month.
Try changing the filter settings o high, or if they are at low then to Medium.
If you have tried this and it doesnt work, get a new email id…and forward it to the people you know.
Transition will take time, but you will be a much happier person.
P.S.: do not give out your email address on any random sites.
Just click “spam” and Yahoo takes care of those.
Yeah, she’s right.↑also you may check it as a spam so those e-mail adresses won’t send you mail messages in the future
