    Yahoo does an awesome job of putting the spam in the bulk folder. I get roughly 20-35+ spam messages a day.

    Yeah I've been getting a lot of the Nigerian 419 scammers.

    I wish I had a little bit more time to mess with them. The Church of the Fish and the Bread anyone?

    I was doing the same until I was alerted by someone for not replying to his messages, and then I discovered that his emails were laying inside the bulk folder. Not always effective, that bulk. I turned my Outlook folder off a couple of days ago after getting tired of having to read it just like I do my inbox.
