Who else is feed-up with Yahoo mail?  |
|
On Friday I went to check my email at yahoo. There was more than 5,000 e-mails in my inbox and about the same in my spam box. Now when I started to read some of them I found that the ones in my inbox are spam also. This e-mail box was to be used by my friends and family only, as they are the only ones who have been given this email address. So I canceled that email and opened up a new one. Today I went to send the new e-mail address to my daughter and what did I find...almost 2,000 spam e-mails in my in-box and even more in my spam. Now this is an e-mail that no one has so why am I getting all this mail? I asked Yahoo and received an answer within a few hours. Yahoo does sell these addresses to companies or to other people and if I don't want to get e-mails from them I will have to pay for a private e-mail box. Boy have times changed, when I got my firstYahoo email box years ago I did not get more than 3 spam e-mails a week. I guess I will be dropping Yahoo and using G-mail from now on.I was wondering if you have an email box at Yahoo...is your e-mail box always full of spam? Do you think they sell our home addresses and phone numbers too? I forgot to ask that.If so don't you think we deserve to get some of the money they are making, after all we are the ones who have to spend time deleting all this crap. Aren't you about feed-up with Yahoo and all the spam they deliver to your e-mail box?

1. halynn (634) | 1 year ago | I've had problems lately with my mail not wanting to load. It's been happening since Thursday. I was thinking maybe due to a lot of traffic on the site beings so many were off work. This has happened once before & lasted several days in a row that time too.

2. jillhill (11862) | 1 year ago | I have my business website through them....last week I checked the spam and it's all nasty stuff.....sent to my website mailing address.....and that is not supposed to happen. If it continues I'll have to change my website to someplace else. I don't like that kind of crap in my mailbox!

| 3. LadyMicha (20) | 1 year ago | Hmmm I always thought my yahoo inbox was full of junk because one website got a hold of my email address and sold it to everyone they could think of. But you have never given yours out so that doesn't apply. I have a hotmail account that only friends and family have and*knock on wood* I rarely get any spam there. Can't say much about gmail other than my little brother uses it and he doesn't have the patience for spam so it must be ok. To be honest, more than being annoyed at yahoo, I'm annoyed with all of the spammers. And the people who click on their ads or whatever they're selling to make it worthwhile for them to continue. Good luck escaping them!

4. Beruang (684) | 1 year ago | I have a Yahoo! Mail account and in fact it is the first internet mail account that I have ever had. I got that account before Gmail was even born. At that time the only other option that I had was HotMail but somehow I chose Yahoo instead.
So far, I have not experienced the problem that you are having. I do get spam from time to time but they are about less than 10 daily so I am not complaining as my Gmail is getting about 50 or more spams per day. Furthermore, those spam mails just go directly to the spam box and I just leave them there where they would be deleted after a month or so...
May be I am not in the US and that's why probably my email account did not get sold by Yahoo and therefore, I did not get as much spam as what you have got.
GMail is a good option but just be careful as Google has the habit of suspending and deleting users account as they wish without any warning and this have happened to a couple of people that I know.
Cheers!

5. trickiwoo (1931) | 1 year ago | I used to use Yahoo, but now I use Gmail. I just find Gmail to be a lot more user friendly. As far as spam goes, I don't really remember there being much of a difference in spam between my Yahoo and Gmail accounts, but then again I give my e-mail address out a lot so I do get a lot of spam. But hopefully you'll be very happy with Gmail! I know I am!

6. pyewacket (11678) | 1 year ago | Wow..you're the second person I've heard complain about getting tons of emails...not just spam either, but others out of the blue. So far I've not had this problem..Let me ask you..do you have a "free" account there? You see, I don't..I have a paid one and I haven't had this problem..so maybe when one has a paid account of Yahoo, the spam blocker is better ...it's only $19.95 a year..so not bad. As far as the number of spam email..in my spam folder usually about 60 or so a day...I do go through it though since every once in awhile I get a legitimate one somehow going in there..LOL..I would LOVE to get paid just for going through the spam mail

ClassyCat (705) | 1 year ago | I have a paid Yahoo mail subscription and a free one as well.
I set my spam block on high in my options area. Also when they come into my inbox, I just check them and click on spam.
If you use your address to register on websites, tthat'll generate spam.
I found that my Hotmail account is getting tons of spam. It didn't used to when they had it set up where only the mail with addresses that were in my address book would go through. That's what all of these email places should do.
You may want to check out: www.dcemail.com It's a nice free (or paid) service, and I don't get hardly any spam there.

8. Celanith (1854) | 1 year ago | I have noticed a lot more spam mail than usual in Yahoo recently that should have gone right to spam and it doesn't this is wrong for them to offer free yahoo mail and then black mail us into paying as I cannot afford to do this and I use Yahoo a lot. It has not got too bad but it is annoying getting spam when it should not be there. I don't think they are supposed to sell our information not according to my states consumer affairs. It is illegal. They can get in trouble for this as they have not informed email box users if this is a new policy. G-Mail does the same thing and I get a lot more spam there than from yahoo.
