Why do I get so many questionable e-mails in my bulk folder?

Answer 1

If you do not want to receive them.

Login to your yahoo account.
Look at the top right corner of the window. You will see "options" written. click on it. (options > mail options), click OK to confirm, in Ymail Beta.
A separate Mail options window will open.
There you will see Block Addresses written. Click on it.
In the next window that opens , you will see this
Add Block
Enter email address (or domain) to block

copy and paste the address from the email received.
click on the button named add block.
The address should appear in the box below.

That's it. You will no more receive any mail , from that site,or from that address which you have added to your blocked addresses list.

It's quite normal to get a lot of junk mail - if it's collecting in some kind of junk/spam folder you can safely ignore it or delete it... Though it's worth checking through every now and then to make sure there are no 'real' mails in there.

I average maybe 5 or so a day, some people (like journalists) who have their email address widely advertised get something like 10,000 a day!

Answer 3

Yahoo can tell its junk from the volume. A lot of the address's that the spammers try to send to don't work. so if yours is remotely close (first three characters match) they drop it in your bulk mail box for you to get rid of.
When message "To" says "Apparently To" yahoo is getting you to free up all those messages that are just taking up ram.
My log on is seven digits if they get the first three right then bam you got bulk (junk) mail.

My question to yahoo is why when my outgoing is one character off it fails to send but I receive up to 4 incorrect charters and you let it through? How much do I have to pay to get that kind of service?

Answer 4

Bulk maill is mail considered as junk mail ( self promotion Promotional fabric ) that is placed there via Yahoo to ward off the loading of your established mail bob or no matter if that is requested via you. notwithstanding, in case you want to you are able to deliver it again to established mail via choosing it from Bulk mail folder and clicking on "no longer Bulk Mail" . this may take it again to typical mail and all messages or mails from this source will now be position in the common INBOX. good success.

Answer 5

Iam not a whiz on the computer,yet I'll give it a try.On the internet service you are inquiring about has thier own settings. It seems you have set the option to let this service over ride,so as if they think it is questionable they auto toss into bulk.I think this is a good feature!Check your BULK occasionly & delete what you don't want to save.If you do not perfer this option (IAM NOT SURE) Go to your add & remove button under control panel/display. GOOD LUCK

Answer 6

For the same reason that the rest of us get them, because they are trying to target as many people as possible. The best thin g to do is just delete them unread...... Currently I am getting about 20 pieces of spam per day

Answer 9

Your email addy ends up on lists that are sold out to those trying to sell something, therefore you get their EMAILS. best never to even open them, that lets them know ur email address is valid and working.
