50 to 60 junk mail everyday on yahoo

I have:
HP pro 3500 Series computer
4.00 GB RAM
64 Bit operating system
CPU G870 @ 3.1 GHZ
Windows 7 professional
Service pack 1

I receive 50 to 60 junk emai on my yahoo account, how do I block all those unwanted email in my junk box?:drool:drool

 

There is no Option tab on right side of email yahoo., I am using Google browser, There tool, setting ext tab but no option.

I remember when I use to use Inter net explorer there was a option tab in right side but with Google browser there is no option tab.

I have already block 50 or so email addresses but still new emails keep coming 50 to 60 per day in my spam folder, I just delete all without opening every day

 

If Yahoo spam filter is that bad I would switch to Gmail. That'll stop it instantly.

 

Some one suggested to do following:
You can forward spam email to spam@uce.gov


I forwaded close to 100 spam mail to Spam@uce.gov
The result was that I am geting more spam mail then before.
Any coment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The reason why I got more spam because to forward the spam mail to .gov I have to open the spam mail, may be that is why the no. increase,

I will just delete spam mail without opening it if there is no other solution.

All other emails do not have this many spam mails.

 

I started blocking addresses. I will block 10 addresses per day so in 10 days I will have 100 block addresses. As of today I have block 49 email addresses.

 

I have been battling spam since 1996, and I have long come to the conclusion that the only way of reducing spam in your Inbox is to employ good spam filtering. Gmail does an excellent job!

However, all spam filters need your help; spam that makes it into your inbox should be reported. On Gmail you just click the Report Spam button.

On other systems, using an email client like Outlook, report spam and spam links via http://www.spamcop.net/ and/or http://uribl.com/

Sending spam to some government agencies serves only statistical purposes.

 

Just for your information

I did put 50 or so email on block list yesterday. But to day in morning I got 90 emails in my spam folder, I deleted all without opening,
When I look at my email again at 11:30 Am there were 60 spam email in my spam folder.


I will keep deleting them and put them in the block category, may be after some time it will clear up.

This is just for your information.

You will never get on top of it if you persist with Yahoo. The answer is in the thread, three times.

 

I am using hotmail, gmail juno and few other email addresses, I know the easy way out is to cancel the yahoo account and live happily after.

But I was checking to see if there is a solution to get rid of spam.

Years ago, before the ISPs started installing effective spam filters and before the rise of Gmail et al, many ppl used Mailwasher, a program which sat between your email client and the POP server and marked what it thought may be spam and gave you the chance to read it and delete it before it was downloaded. The program also claimed to 'learn' as you used it. If you are using a POP service you could give it a try as it's still available and hosted by MG.

But if you are using webmail there is absolutely nothing you can do.

 

Spammers change e-mail addresses almost daily, so blocking may do very little to stem the flow of spam.

Like it or not, you need to set up a new e-mail address for your important stuff. Personally, I'd use outlook.com - it's free and appears to have fewer spam issues than Yahoo.

A longer and more complex e-mail address also reduces the risk of a program that generates random e-mail addresses will send you spam.

"Bob123@outlook.com" - Bad
"Bobby_Smith_8653124@outlook.com" - Better​

Use this new e-mail only for close friends and critical communications (credit card and utility bills, etc). NEVER use it on social media, to enter contests or to do online shopping with (for shopping, you may want to make up a second one like "Bobby_Smith_Shops_8653124@outlook.com".
