    you got mail!


    Got to share this with you all. :D I recently opened a new gmail account using
    Yahoo mail as the sign up address. Obviously gmail requires you to validate
    your new account by sending a confirmation email to the one you signed up with,
    (in this case my Yahoo email.) Anyway I go to Yahoo and check to see if
    the gmail confirmation email has arrived. I wait and wait still nothing in my
    Yahoo inbox. After a while I notice that I have 1 spam, so out of curiosity
    (thinking it was another "get rich quick with Viagra, phallus enlargement
    accompanied with a breast extension whilst I lose weight with funky tea from
    china and win the Nigerian lottery courtesy of USA government grants."
    :p)
    Nope it was the confirmation email from Google.:rolleyes: Guess that's what Yahoo's
    email service thinks of Google emails! haha:D

    Maybe it is because of people spamming with gmail accounts that yahoo puts them in spam?

    A simple as that, all the competitors hates each others business aspects.
    may be they are doing this intentionally? but that's part of the game IMO.

    I have both yahoo and gmail accounts but yahoo is full of spams. Lotteries, viagra, work-at-home you name it, I got it. It is really annoying.

    if you have bulk folder enabled any confirmation email will be sent to the bulk folder because it has a link in the email.has nothing to do with who sent it. :rolleyes:

    why would you need to confirm your email when you sign up for a free email? :confused: don't people sign up for a free email account because they don't have a email or they can't/don't want to use isp email? :rolleyes:

    you would have to get a yahoo email so you can sign up with gmail,that's what i find funny. :p
