Question by : how to unsubscribe successfully in yahoo?
At first I received like well over a hundred. I have no idea where they even came from. Now at this point I receive maybe twelve? but the thing is they’re all the same thing everyday and I dont want their product nor do I want to hear about them. They are things like replica watches and things you would find in the pharmacy.
I installed an unsubscribe button but that doesnt even work anymore. I just want things to go back to normal when I would just not get spam at all. Every time I would e-mail them back saying I dont want your products, it would say that person doesnt have an e-mail address. How could that be if they send me things all the time? Somebody please help me because its really frustrating.
Oh, and may I just add that there is nothing wrong with my actual inbox just my spam box.

You cannot get rid of all spam…This are the best solutions I know
sually just clicking on SPAM when you receive the message will direct it to your SPAM FOLDER and any subsequent emails from this person will go there…if that doesn’t work try below….NOTE:If you want to edit the settings of SPAMGUARD click on SPAM in the folder section on the left side of your email page. Once in you will see SPAMGUARD and the edit option.
If you are using yahoo classic OR the new versionGo to “Options” It is above your email Click on “Mail Options”
Click on SPAM
Enter the address you want to block
Click on “Add Block”. Go above and click on SAVE CHANGES
On occasion the sender changes their name BEFORE @ so block that DOMAIN the following way…
If you are receiving several emails from the same domain, but various ID’s, the easiest way to stop them is to enter the domain into your “Blocked Addresses”.
In Yahoo! mail, to block the senders domain (hotmail.com):
◘ Click on “Options, upper right corner of mail page”.
◘ Then “Mail Options”.
◘ Click on “Spam” from the list on the left.
◘ In the “Add a blocked address” box, enter the domain (only the part of the email address AFTER @, do not include @). Note: I have recently seen where you should have the @ included…try them both.
◘ Click the “Add” button.
Now, any email from that domain, no matter what ID is used to send it, will be blocked.
FINALLY…do not forget to click on SAVE CHANGES at the top of the page……
NOTE: there is a limit of 500 addresses in the Block Address box. There may come a time where you have to go in to this box and delete some.

In addition you can use your FILTERS to send them to the trash or spam folder.
…..click on OPTIONS…MAIL OPTIONS…go to the left side and click on FILTERS…once in click on CREATE OR EDIT FILTERS…then click on ADD…place the site in the box and click on ADD FILTERS..NOTE; this was the only way I could get rid of Yahoo!groups..
Also, when trying to add addresses in the BLOCKED ADDRESS box it will not allow just names…usually has to have a “.com” or something similar following the name. Filters allow you to send just the names you see in your inbox prior to opening the message in to the Spam folder..
This is also good for filtering porn. You are able to enter PORNOGRAPHY and SEX in the sender/subject/body section and send it to TRASH in the MOVE TO FOLDER section .

I turned them in to the yahoo administrators though which got traced back to some geocities website, and I also had to change my email password that I’ve had for years. Whats the point though, why don’t they just use their own email? Are they just trying to show that they are clever or what?
