    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.

    Good Luck!

    If it's online, report the person to Yahoo! or call Yahoo! If it's through snail mail (regular mail) Report it to the police. You can get arrested for sending hate mail to someone

    Do the following:

    -Once you get mail from this freak select his/her message and click on Spam.

    -Once in Yahoo! Main page, click on Help (On right top of screen, regulary) and follow up intructions to report abuse mail so this nut case gets the e-mail account cancel.

    Not to make light of a serious or scary situation, but try love mail.

    Change your Yahoo answers name, your email is probably your username@yahoo.com. For now do that and just block whoever is sending you mail.
