How do I stop all these spam emails from coming in to my spam folder?

I get a minimum of 35 per day and I immediately delete them all, but they keep coming back on a daily basis.

    hi there. Click options top right of your mail box then click spam protection and select your choices. Also when spam comes in tick the little box beside the message then click spam. Also click on your bulk icon and make sure spam guard is on. If not turn it on. If you are in the habit of subscribing to a bunch of junky stuff stop doing that and never reply to spam..

    One suggestion that will work, register for another email address and use it strictly for friends or your business, don't subsribe to anything or reply to anything with the new one. save your old address for that and let the spam go to the old one. I did that and in more than 6 months received only one spam.

    In addition to blocking emails and websites (facility provided by Yahoo in Options -> Mail Options -> Spam), some spammers generate email addresses so you then have to use Filters.

    ... and in addition to what Yahoo thinks is Spam, you may set Filters to "move" emails with certain key words, such as WEBCAMZ, SEX, ROLEX ..., to a new folder which you may call MY WASTE or MY JUNK.

    This way such span doesn't clutter your input tray/bulk folders and you may look at it/review it at your ease.

    Change the option on your spam box so that you don't get any spam but if a regular e-mail gets sent to spam you wont get it either. or you can unsubscribe each individual e-mail.

    I think there's a function where the mails coming from a blocked address is deleted the second it comes in. I couldn't say how to do it though.

    its a spam folder. that's why it is there. you never need to open it. would you rather they go into your inbox??

    you should only worry if your real emails are going into your spam folder.
