80% of all email in the world is spam.. so its very difficult
Never open, reply or unsubscribe to spam.
They often have tracking on the mail.. so opening it.. you verify as someone who opens spam. Then you get added to the "list"
and the "list" get sold to other spam networks.
There's no reason to even be in the spam folder, except about once a week..to briefly make sure nothing went there in error. And it will too..so having it all delete on contact, isnt a good option to chose
You can set spam filters
Inbox page> Options> Mail options>spam
The easier your email address is..the more spam you'll get.
Its easily computer generated.
Example:
rainydays@ === lots of spam
2Czreignydays ==== very little
Of course, never post your email address in public forums like Yahoo Answers.
Set up a 2nd email address to use for various website enrollments
Preferable with the most vague info that you can
Always read Privacy Policies before signing up for a website.
Oh and try your best to keep your address off of those
FWD FWD emails with lots of peoples addresses on them
They are perfect harvesting tools... for spammers to get hold of
