what is a bulk folder in yahoo.com?

Answer 1

The long wait is nearly over, or so sayeth the Redmondites. Windows XP Service Pack 1 is scheduled for general availability on September 9th, 2002, and will be available for download via Microsoft's Windows Update feature. SP1 is set to address myriad bugs and security holes that have up until now been addressed by an ever-increasing list of hot fixes and security patches, wrapping them all into one easily administered package.

In addition to the expected bug fixes, Microsoft is throwing the Department of Justice a bone by including some new features in SP1, namely the ability to turn off certain pieces of software that come bundled with Windows XP, dubbed "Set Program Access and Defaults." Among the packages available for deactivation are Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, Windows Media Player, and (to a certain extent) MSN Messenger. OEMs have frequently requested the ability to have this level of customization, and the lack of this feature has been one of the primary arguments the DOJ has used against Microsoft during the antitrust hearings.

Of course, you don't have to wait for Microsoft to deliver the patch to you. As has frequently happened in the past, leaked copies of the patch are already available for download. Although Microsoft won't comment on leaked patches, the downloads appear to be the real thing.

While leaked patches don't seem to stir the Redmond giant that much, leaked activation keys are another matter entirely. Much to the embarrassment of Microsoft, Windows XP Professional was available for nearly two months before the official retail release. Packaged as "Devil's Own Release," the pirate version included a copy of a Corporate Select license key that bypassed the Windows Activation features. As a result, Microsoft has isolated the two keys that were widely pirated and has specifically engineered SP1 not to install if these keys are present. Pirates using this version of XP will be locked out of upgrading their machines, barring some new hack that circumvents it.

Of a more pressing concern is the existence of a "key generator," widely circulated and capable of producing valid, registerable Windows XP keys. Microsoft intends to start checking customer keys against its master key database whenever Windows Update is used. If the workstation key is not present in Microsoft's list, the workstation will definitely be denied the ability to download updates, and may even be "locked out" entirely. Microsoft has yet to reveal when this new system may be online, but few doubt that it will be long.

Thanks to HardOCP for the heads-up on this one.

Bulk Folder is a folder where all the email which you never asked for stored into. Its there on the left hand side menu of your Yahoo Email. Once you delete something from Bulk mail it is deleted forever it doesnt go to trash folder.

Answer 3

That folder acts as a spam folder in your mail. All unnecessary mails which are sent in bulk user lists go to that folder. Usually ADs of products.

Answer 4

It basically represents a 'junk folder'. Messages there are various times emptied in approximately one week to a month (based upon the thoughts you positioned). i assume this is named 'bulk folder' because of the fact bulk, meaning some thing like 'super quantity' and junk and unsolicited mail mail often times are available in 'bulk'. xD in user-friendly terms a theory.

Answer 5

Bulk folder stores all mails that are supposed to be spam.spam use excess space so they are not put in inbox.but it may happen that these all are not unwanted and maybe of importance.so they are put in bulk folder. bulk folder does not use ur inbox space.

Answer 6

All the unsocilited emails are dumped into this folder. The capacity of the files dumped will be counted towards the total space.

Answer 7

The bulk folder is intended to store unsolicited mails, ie mails which seem to be spam mails which are of no interest to us...

Answer 8

this forder contains those files which yahoo thinks as unusefull or you have selected as spam.

some time an usefull mail comes as bulk you have to just select that mail and mark it as not spam, in future that mail will not come in spam.

spam/junk mail does not takes the space of your inbox and is stored on yahoo server.

these mails are automatically deleted within a weak time.

so do check once in a quick view (by just scrolling the names) before deleting your junk mails.

Answer 9

its a folder for unwanted mail ( like adverts)

Answer 10
