    They are emails identified by your email provider - like Yahoo - from people that send them to thousands and thousands of email address, hoping somebody is stupid enough to open them. Some of them advertising for things we don't want or need, some have viruses that can attack our computers, some are scams trying to steal our password, our money or our identity. Unless you recognize an email address as being REAL and somebody you know, do not open it. You can use the preview pane to safely read any emails you think are suspect. Or just ignore and delete them if you know they are really spam.
