why so much junk mail my yahoo account?

Try setting your filter to medium or high. You will still get junk mail but it goes straight to bulk or trash and doesn't count against your space limit.

Set up another account and use the one with the junk mail for a email address only for things you order online, and the new one for communicating with friends only, and never order anything, or request information from websites using the new address.

The reason for getting all this junk email is this:

It all starts with some site you visit and ether order something from, or request information from. They loaded a information gathering, (or demographics), cookie, or what is called spyware on your computer.

These cookies are small programs accessible to online marketers, and the tell them what type of sites you visit, so the advertising emails may start out general, based on stuff that sells, but as you start receiving more they are geared more towards things you are likely to have some interest in. This change to directed advertising is based on your browsing habits from places you visit on the internet.

Companies make a great deal of their revenue selling the demographic information they collect.

Many Pop-Ups are controlled this way as well. You can prevent pop-ups by turning on pop-up blocker in the ‘tools’ menu on Internet Explorer, but the pop-up generators still remain. To remove these pop-up generating programs generally require a anti-spyware program.

There are those companies too that use email address generators to blanket junk emails, because unlike regular mail email doesn't cost them anything to send.

Another tip is to never ask to be removed from their email list. This just tells them they are sending it to an active address and they ignore the do not send part.

I never used to get any junk mail.... well, hardly any. Now, everyday I probably get around 75-100 pieces of crap! I talked to a friend yesterday and she's having the same problem. I wish I knew what's going on, but I don't. I don't want to open a new account, so "delete" has become my best friend when I enter Yahoo!.

you will continuously get more junk mails if you keep on replying "remove" or "unsubscribe"... Spammers will send you more of these junks because you just give them a confirmation that their junks are being opened and read.

If the you receive junk mail in you junk mail folder u no need to worry about it but if it is your inbox try to activate your sparm guard and time to time you notify the sparm mails

I wish I knew that answer I am going to go to gmail.com and sign up I am sick and tired of deleting trash mail

if you want if you want you may e mail me for now at rjeannie58@hotmail.com

good luck!
