How do you delete content from your "my yahoo" page?

Why can't I delete one email or empty the folder if that one mail is selected within the yahoo web page?

• I have one email that can not be deleted or emptied within the yahoo web page. I use IE 7, Win XP SP2? A spam email 'you have won 9999999.00' can not be deleted also the empty button doesn't work in trash or spam folder when that email is selected. Issue does not exist using other yahoo mail accounts or any other email. Additional Details 2 days ago Whether seleced by its self or by clicking the Sender button, the mail will not delete. In lower left corner of my browser I see 'Error on page' everytime I try to delete this mail. I can move it from Bulk to Inbox or Trash folders but it will not delete or empty from any, all other mail does, unless that one is also selected, then I get 'Error on page'. I must de-select that one before I can rid myself of the others, HELP!!! 4 days ago - 1 day left for voting - 1 answer - Report Abuse

• 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. Under Spam Protection, make sure your Spam Guard is turned ON. Option to immediately delete all Spam messages. This will force all new email to redirect to your Inbox. Option to Block messages that you mark as Spam. If you plan on keeping your Bulk folder, also option messages you mark as Not-Spam to be moved to your Inbox. Always Option to Block all Images until you can look them over first. This prevents spammers from knowing you opened their email. Save Changes. Under Blocked Addresses, type in spammer.com, this will stop all Spam that has been reported to Yahoo from ever entering your email. I recommend you remove everything on your list first. This will give you a fresh start after you type in the "spammer.com". Under General Preferences, Folders/Search Results, Special Folders, option to redirect incoming unsolicited email to the Bulk Folder. Save. 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. When you do open an email that is Spam, you have alerted the sender that your account is Active. This will immediately stop all the Junk Mail considerably. I only get maybe one or two Spam emails a Month. Remember, anytime you give out your email address over the internet, you can expect to receive some kind of Spam, unless you have made sure that site is secured. Good Luck!
