Yahoo mail

[gizbug]

I get tons of spam, that is automatically moved to my bulk folder on yahoo mail, but it fills my mailbox up to 100% every day. Any way to fix this, or have this "bulk mail" go to the trash so I don't have to log into yahoo 4 times a day and verify my mailbox isn't full?

Not sure since I don't actually use it but have an account. Once in a blue moon someone might send a message there because I use Yahoo Messenger. The few times I do check it it's loaded with SPAM but not to the point of having no more space left. It's crazy because I don't give that email address out yet it's filled up with garbage constantly.

Bump because I would like to know this.

Pay for a larger mail box? I got nothing.

 

[gizbug]

NOt going to pay
To bad you cant find a help or customer service email to yahoo anywhere

And then there are some ads that will never get moved to the bulk mail folder because I'm sure yahoo has a deal with them. For instance, brylane home and eDiets never get moved no matter how many times I report them, and I have reported them with the spam feature at least 100 times each.

Create a new e-mail address, then don't use that e-mail address to register on porn sites or to register anything else. I don't use my primary e-mail address for anything other than personal and business communication and I don't get a single SPAM. I have Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to use for registering software, and those are constantly full of crap, I just don't bother to empty anything anymore. Maybe if a place sends e-mail and it gets refused because my inbox is full they'll take me off their list.

I had this account when they bumped everyone from 3MB to 6MB. 6MB holds about 3 years worth of stuff that I would care to remember.

No, Yahoo doesn't have this option. I tried to do something similar back when that fake Microsoft patch/virus was going about. Until they decide to implement something like that, you will just have to log on and delete the spam.

Sigh That sucks

Yeah, was. I got a ton of it for about a month, but I stopped getting it. I've gotten it maybe 3 times in the last month.

To make a new account, what is the easiest way to migrate my message boards (that I have used my yahoo mail to register with) and my contacts my new address?
