Why can't I delete the mail in my spam folder?

After opening Bulk Folder, can I highlight mail as spam without opening it or is my only option to delete?

  • I also have AOL and when I open my Bulk Folder I can highlight and mark as spam. This has drastically reduced my junk mail and potiental dangerous mail. Yahoo should take a look at this.

  • Answer:

    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. When you get to Block Address, type in spammer.com, this will stop all Spam that has been reported to Yahoo from ever entering your email. When you get to Bulk Mail, option to automatically delete all Bulk mail. Make sure your Spam Guard is turned On. 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. This should slow down the Junk Mail considerably. Good Luck!

If it's in your spam filter, Yahoo! already knows that it's junk mail/spam. As for your options, it's not necessary to mark it as spam if it's in there, although you have the option to either delete it permanently from your spam folder or leave it until Yahoo! does it for you (by default, after one month) If spam shows up in your inbox, highlight (if you're in the new Y! Mail Beta) or select it, then "mark as spam" That will train Yahoo! spam filters for you and all other mail users so it doesn't end up in your inbox. If legitimate e-mails are in your bulk folders, you can select and then chose 'not spam' so e-mails from that sender are delivered to your inbox Good luck!
