report the junk mail to yahooo

click options in mail room.. it’s near the top right hand side.. it will delete the mail you have now and continue 2 delete bulk mail as it comes in.. nice option 2 have ; )

If the junk mail is coming into your inbox, just select the mail you find to be junk, and hit the Spam button. This will delete the message, block the sender, and report the mail to Yahoo’s spam filter so that it can be improved to help block more messages in the future.

If the mail is coming into your Junk Mail/Spam folder, just ignore it. It doesn’t count towards your mail storage space, and it will be automatically be delete in a matter of days. If it really bugs you, you can click the Empty link to delete everything in the Junk Mail/Spam folder.

A good way to help stop spam is to prevent it. Sometimes when you enter your email address into a site, they will sell it to spammers and you’ll see a surge in spam. Before entering your email address into a site, try checking that site out on McAffee SiteAdvisor ( ) by typing the site’s URL into the search bar on that page. If they have rated the page, you’ll get a report saying how much email they got when they typed their address into the site, as whether the site compromises your browser’s security.

They even have a free plugin for Firefox and Internet Explorer that tells you the safety of the site you are currently on (Green, Yellow, or Red).

To STOP receiving unwanted (Spam/Bulk/Junk) email, do the following:

Log into your Email, go to Options (upper right hand side). Go through all your settings and don’t forget to save them too.

Under Spam Protection, make sure your Spam Guard is turned ON. Option to immediately delete all Spam messages. This will force all new email to redirect to your Inbox. Option to Block messages that you mark as Spam. If you plan on keeping your
Bulk folder, also option messages you mark as Not-Spam to be moved to your Inbox. Always Option to Block all Images until you can look them over first. This prevents spammers from knowing you opened their email. Save Changes.

Under Blocked Addresses, type in spammer.com, this will stop all Spam that has been reported to Yahoo from ever entering your email. I recommend you remove everything on your list first. This will give you a fresh start after you type in the “spammer.com”.

Under General Preferences, Folders/Search Results, Special Folders, option to redirect incoming unsolicited email to the Bulk Folder. Save.

If you get email from someone you don’t know, NEVER open it (it may contain viruses) and report it as SPAM. This will automatically block it from your email account. When you do open an email that is Spam, you have alerted the sender that your account is Active.

This will immediately stop all the Junk Mail considerably. I only get maybe one or two Spam emails a Month. Remember, anytime you give out your email address over the internet, you can expect to receive some kind of Spam, unless you have made sure that site is secured.

Good Luck!
