this is the right way dude

if you go to your options in your mail page you can set it to have all bulk mail automatically deleted
--

go to mail.yahoo.com .. click options... spam protection then mark the box "Immediately delete these messages upon receipt. (Note: If you choose this option, you will not be able to review the messages before they are deleted.)"

go down hit save.. all done .. never see those pesky messages again

Well Bulk email is where the spam is supposed to go. It is your filter doing its work. If you are refering to yahoo mail, you can empty it without looking at them, and they do not take up room on your memory so there is no worry there. Also, yahoo randomly deletes them so they can't build up too much.

If you notice many of them coming from the same email address on a regular basis, you can block that email address.

You could also try opening some and going to "UNSUBSCRIBE" which is usually at the bottom, though I don't suggest opening the mail that comes to your bulk folder

It would be best to ignore them.

press on the Mail -> Options -> Spam protection ->

Spam Filter
SpamGuard is ON [Turn SpamGuard OFF - What's this?]

For messages SpamGuard identifies as Spam:

Immediately delete these messages upon receipt. (Note: If you choose this option, you will not be able to review the messages before they are deleted.)

Save these messages in the Bulk Folder for 1 week2 weeks1 month

Choose what you want...

The bulk folder is for spam. That's why you have it. Just delete it. Check the senders of the e-mails if you want to, but you usually only find junk.

won't be able to you only click "Empty" next to the folder call on the section besides? Like with trash? And would not the junk mail/junk/bulk mail get deleted after a particular quantity of days besides? Have an attractive day. xxxxxxxxx

When you find out, let me know..........LOL

But seriously, in your e-mail account, you can set it to automatically delete spam e-mails.

Some of those spam e-mails (that are virus-free) have a link at the bottom of the message, saying that "if you want these e-mails to stop, click here to unsubscribe" and doing that will help reduce the amount of e-mails you're receiving.............

Go ahead, and try that. Sometimes it works

Good Luck!

the only good solution is to ditch and get a new email add. then don't do the things that invite
spam emails. Most of us have at least 2 I'd bet.
One they keep clean and one they use when they know it will collect spam.

Sadly, the only thing you can do is sign up again with new id and only give out your address to friends, etc. Use the old address for signing up stuff on internet.

Good Luck

p.s. Never click on the "unsubscribe". that is just a ploy to let them know your email address is working.

Forward them to Federal Trade Commission
