Do you guys that have Yahoo email get lots of emails into your Bulk Folders?

I seem to have at least 5 or 6 a day and they all had some attachment with a virus that was disabled.

Just curious....

I don't have this problem. I only get maybe 1 bulk email a month. But then again, I hardly ever use my Yahoo account.

 

[Jason]

Yes, I get one a day in my bulk email that is an ever returning virus attachment. I just delete it........... the name skoorpio is attached to it often. No more then this one usually though..........

Go into your account preferences. Look around I dont remember where it is, but make sure you arent in the "Yahoo white pages". Most of the time when ur in that you get loaded down with bulk spam. I didnt check those boxes when I signed up, and I never get email at my yahoo account.

I get a few but not like that, and only coz I signed up on a website to receive such mail..

You musta entered your email address somewhere and the site has on-sold your email address

ok Gix I will go check on that...thanks for the tip!!

I have two yahoo accounts. One gets a piece of bulk mail like every 2 weeks. But my main account gets like 20 junk mail a day. I dont even delete it or check it every day. There are like 2500 pieces in there and yahoo just keeps deleting the oldest ones every day.

haha...glad I have Hotmail!

 

[oscarcolumbo]

ha!!finally i found im not the only one, i get like 20 or 30 a day!!!all on th ebulk mail and it anoys the crap out of me..i don't even check it i just hit the empty button, but how do i know if for some mistake an important email went to the bulk folder..but then again im afraid if i open anything in the bulk folder i'll get a virus...beleive me that's no fun cause i already got a virus that wiped out th whole computer...so i just hit empty

 

[RSixxygrl]

you won't get a virus as yahoo scans it with Norton already. So you are safe.

I have hotmail too but I choose not to use it as much...yahoo IMing is much better than hotmail..hands down!!

 

[Flash6R]

Man, if i just hit "empty" i would be screwed. every now and then i get randomly important mail sent to my bulk. thats what sucks...sifting thru all that crap. oh well, what can ya do?

 

[Rascus]

Have the same problem..get about 40 to 100 bulk emails a day. I've had my account for quite awhile now (6 plus years). Every once in awhile I'll go thru and unsubsribe to all of them and i'm good for about a month then I'm back to square one.

Have to try that tip though

 

[RSixxygrl]

Ok Gix...I did that..so I will check tomm. and see how it goes...all my boxes were checked!! :lol So I unchecked them all!!

Thanks again!!

 

[Gixxer_Six2003]

No problem........

BUT........ You will probably have to block the ones that already has your address. It is a slow process, but you can weed them out. Another option is signup for a new account.

I got 2 spam accounts 1 hotmail 1 yahoo mail, acounts I use to sign up for stuff and my real acct. the spam boxes get avg 200+ ea garbage mails from spammers and accounts I signrd up for with the promis "we never give yer shit away" right


Lol my real box is my friends and it gets about 12 a day mostly friends and a few sneaky spermers err I mean spammers

 

[wct097]

I've got 1313 in my bulk mail folder now. Doesn't count against your disk space, and they delete the oldest every day. None of mine is due to preferences. I've used yahoo since 1998, so my email addy is out there being sold for over 5 years.

 

[SpeedracerFTP]

cant say ive had that prob....

 

[TheWraith]

Use free email, get free spam. It's the universe ballancing itself out.

 

[HamG]

That doesn't just happen with free email...If you sign up for anything and use an email address...usually you will start to get spam at that email address...

 

[japbike]

I get about 40 spams a day in my junk mail.. I just delete it. If I dont know whom its from, even in my other email, I also delete it, just to be on the safe side...

not like I get any thing good in there any way... It's all crap
