I am coming up on 4000 unread mail messages in my yahoo inbox.?

I find most of my e-mails are spam coming from survey sites or yahoo answers telling me I've answered a question or something - hel-lo! As is I didn't know that! It annoys me soooooo much! Get an account with gmail- I have one and never get spam unless I open my spam folder. Hope this helps :) Ps. Never post your e-mail address on pen pal sites, forums, yahoo answers etc!!

First, go to your options. Then go to your general preferences. Change the number of email messages shown to 200 per page. Now, don't be lazy... because now all you have to get through is 20 pages. That's right. 20 pages of clicking that little box at the far left, in the header row (the one that selects all messages VISIBLE) and then clicking delete. You can handle 20 pages. Or, you can click that little select all visible box, and hit the Mark button, and mark them all as read. I've got more than 8000 read messages in my inbox. The only downside to marking them as read, is that after you do the first page, you will have to go to the next page manually. If you just delete 200 of them, you will have another 200 to delete right away, no moving to the next set needed. Then, go into your Yahoo Answers profile, and change the settings there, so you don't get any mail you don't want from here. Then... start using your spam button. You get a piece of spam? Check it, hit the spam button. Teach the spam filter what is spam, and let it do it's job. You can't get lazy though. You are on here almost every day... you gotta stay on your inbox and clear the crap... almost every day.

First and most important, turn on your Yahoo Spamguard. Click Options, Mail Options then Spam. Click that top box. After that spam will go into the spam folder where you can ignore it. Now to delete all mail click on that little box just above all the little boxes in the email list to the left. That checks ALL the mail in your inbox. When you click the delete button all of them will go into your trash.

Get a new email address, i suggest gmail, Be careful where you enter your email address.

don't really know....yahoo does has Unlimited storage. i have u n read mail from 04 so........be careful yahoo will act up

1st select all and delet all, 2sc let antispam work

If you're visiting a lot of unknown sites where you subscribe, don't put in you're real name, but in a fake name such as "Tobey" or something like that. That way, when you recieve spam or junk, you'll know who its from.

Just delete your Spam Folder without reading any mail. Yes, Yahoo has a limit, once reached, you will not receive any emails until you go below your mailbox size. One sure way to cut down on email overflow is to go into your Answers Profile and block members from sending you emails and Instant Messages. This will also cut down on the not so kindly worded emails. You also need to go to your Yahoo mail account and select email options. There you can set your Spam Filter to Strong and send everything to your spam folder except folks in your Address book or trusted sites which you can designate on a 'Safe List' I usually take a quick scan of my Junk Folder to ensure everything there is indeed junk. It is rare, however, I do find legitimate emails in my junk Filter. I open them and mark them as not Junk and this solves the issue. I also receive obvious Spam mail in my in box. I just check the box beside the item, and click on spam button and the mail goes to the spam filter.

omg! you must have a big box :) 4000 e-mails & you haven't answered one, I am crushed. I reckon I have about another thousand in me, after that if you haven't replied I guess I'll just give up sending them to you, I don't want to appear obsessed.
