A quick question about the Yahoo Answers glitch?

Just to stop my inbox from getting flooded, I want to mark the duplicate best answers e-mails as spam until the problem is fixed.

My question is, how can I make the e-mails "not spam" when I want to receive them again? I'm not too familiar with how to do that.

Update:

Thanks, Jamie. One every 45 minutes? You are lucky. I just deleted 121 messages and right after I did that, 5 more popped up.

    Ugh, I thought I was the only one having this problem!! I've gotten literally one e-mail every 45 minutes informing me of the same best answer for the past 3 days.

    Just wanted to add my two cents and star. I can't really give advice though, because I use Hotmail, and I'm guessing you use Yahoo! Mail.

    If they have the same type of junk folder as Hotmail, then you can just go to that folder later and choose to have them sent to your inbox.

    so far, since this mess started, I've recieved 235 notifications of best answer on the same question, I just marked anything from YA as spam, if they ever get it fixed, I just go to the spam folder and mark it as safe again.

    Amazing, Yahoo technicians get paid when this is the result of their work.

    Marking as spam will have no effect. Yahoo will not block their own email. You can add the address to the blocked address list or create a filter matching on the subject (that is what I did).

    You can go to your email options button and clik on and there you will see a list of the emails that you have marked as spam and you can unspam them then.
