1) create filters. In yahoo mail go to
options > mail options > Filters
Click on Add button to set a filter.
Give a name to your filter.
You can create filters for the subject text that you receive often. For example if you are receiving mail having viagra in the subject line.
Then Add viagra in the text box in front of
Text-contains- type viagra here
Leave the match case unchecked.
There are also filter options for checking words in header, body, of mail.After that decide where the mail will go. In your case select the folder named trash as below.
Then-Move The message To-select trash from the list.
Press Add Filter button when done.
You can set as many as 15 filters in yahoo mail.
2)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 Add Block
Enter email address to block
or 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 address which you have added to your blocked addresses list.
To Unblock, find the address in the box, and press Unblock

The ones in bulk will be deleted after a month and do not count as memory space in your account the others you can spam them or options button to send them to your bulk automatically.

They are called SPAM emails. Delete them, don't even read them.
Anything in your Bulk folder is already recognised as spam by Yahoo. Don't open this folder, just click on [Empty] which is beside the folder.

You will probably find that setting up a filter wont help because they keep changing the e mail address and content so that the filter wont pick it up, think you are stuck with it like most of us!!

Basically, you CAN'T. Just delete them and if you receive them in your regular mail report them as spam.
