Email Spam

I have two accounts - Yahoo and Google (Gmail).

While the Gmail account takes care for spam emails almost perfectly (when you report), the Yahoo spam system is not functional - it seems that the Yahoo "spam" button is a dummy one - for the last year or two I was kept using the " Yahoo" spam button for thousands of spam mails, and still, I get about the same amount of spam mails a day which is about 50.

Any thoughts about that?

 

i have the same problem. Someone out there really thinks I need Viagra and a bigger penis

 

i think Yahoo sell email adresses

 

That's why Google > Yahoo

 

The reason why I'm still using Yahoo is because you can organize your foldres while in Gmail you can't (and I don't like lables).

 

Ex maybe? Anyways I have the same problem so I use my gmail with thunderbird so t-bird sorts them and I can have folders also.

Can you write specifically how to do it (you might change my life here!).

 

Get Thunderbird from HERE

Go to this url http://email.about.com/od/mozillathunderbirdtips/qt/et121604.htm and it will tell you all you need to know.

Great! It works!

I have three questions:

1) Is thunderbird better than outlook express in your opinion?
2) If I use a different computer with thunderbird (in the future), how can I maintain my thunderbird folders' structure?
3) Do you think that I can import my Yahoo account into thunderbird?

 

Yahoo will only work with the premium service for any client. you cab get a plug in that will back up folders and everything. And I don't like Microsoft products too many vulnerabilities.

Thanks Shawn.

 

Your welcome Kartoun. Glad to be of assistance.

That is too funny. That's why I love this forum. Plenty of laughs

 

Note that yahoo has a manual filter spam (up to 15 phrases). Now I don't get any mails that contain the word "viagra", for example.
