How did I get stationary on my Yahoo mail account?

How do I get the spam filter to work in my yahoo mail for a pop account?

• I retrieve mail from my (POP) accounts into my yahoo mail, but I can't get the spam filter to work on this (POP) account. It works fine for the yahoo mail web account, but for the (POP) account it won't filter anything. Not even when I report the spam and send it to the bulk mail folder.

• Answer:

  no matter what you use, Yahoo web email or Outlook. Spam is gonna choke your inbox in everyway. i originated an idea few months back to fight this spam problem and it worked like magic. put an vacation response or auto response to your yahoo/outlook mail. it should go like this: ------------------- If you are a SPAMMER, you are eligible for a lawsuit. for more details go to http://docs.yahoo.com/docs/pr/release1187.html. Spammers will be taken to court for litigation. ------------------- everytime a mail hit your mailbox, this msg will go to them. believe i got rid of spam messages in just one month. i now get only 5-6 spam msgs per week compared to thousands in past. try this and let me know babe. cheers
