• Answer:

  How to sort your spam mail You can choose how long you want to keep messages in your Bulk Mail Folder. You can choose to drop all messages in your Bulk Mail Folder or keep messages for 1 week, 2 weeks or 1 month. The default is one month. To edit this feature: 1.Click "Mail Options" 2.Click "Spam Protection" Here you will have the following two choices: o"Immediately delete these messages upon receipt" o1 week o2 weeks o1 month (30 days) - default Important: Occasionally, valid email messages may be perceived as spam and delivered to the Bulk folder. Please note that if you select this option, you will not have an opportunity to review the messages in your Bulk folder before they are deleted. 3.Select "Save these messages in the Bulk folder" and select the desired timeframe from the drop down menu. 4.Click "Save Changes" Please be aware that the bulk mail folder doesn't generate spam, and you shouldn't receive any additional mail as a result of this folder. The system only directs incoming messages addressed to you to a different folder. Can I block junk mail with filters? Yahoo! Mail offers two ways to help you block unwanted messages: 1.If you receive multiple messages from the same source and would like to block the sender, you can set up a filter to match some unique part of the sender's address. Generally a name or a phrase in the body of the message works well, but as long as the sender always uses the same mailing address, filtering based on the "From" field is very effective. Just set the destination folder to Trash. Note that using filters like this to avoid unwanted mail doesn't actually stop it from being sent. For further information on how to create a filter, please see: How do I create a filter?. 2.You can also use the "Block address" link. This is located to the right of the email address of people who send to your account. By clicking on this link, you'll add the sender's address to your Blocked List. You can create a list of up to 500 addresses from which you would prefer not to receive email.
