Mark your filter options on. Aside from that you can check the letters which you think is a spam and flag them. By this, yahoo would be keeping them in one place. I use to have this problem before since it is normal for us users to get spams everyday from people who does send messages and garbage to our mails. But don't worry as other users said, you can flag this spammer and put your filter on so that you can be at ease handling your personal messages or mails from your friends.

There are several ways to keep the spam out on Yahoo. First off, they provide 15 filters. so whenyou get a message that is spam you can mark it spam. Yahoo Plus is worth it just to help with that spam. you get 50 filters. the other thing is - If you like joining a lot of sites and do a lot of surfing, you may want a second address You can also use Yahoo Addressguard. I have also found that adding a website that you joined or a new contacts email address really helps. and I found a program on this website called Boxbe that really works superb! http://www.boxbe.com I have used Yahoo Mail for 10 years and I took and used that boxbe on my account and I went from having 50 emails that were spam ot maybe 20 a month, and it is usually only to approve a new site that I just joined. Try it you may like it... A perfect match I say!
