Question

I receive about 30 spam emails each day, is there a way to stop them?

Community Answer

Find another mail provider. You can block messages on Yahoo, but it makes no difference and you cannot even unsubscribe from the messages you receive, so it is a hopeless situation.

Question

What do I do if videos appear after I clear my spam box?

Community Answer

I always leave just one piece of spam in there so that I don't get videos. I wish they wouldn't do that, though, as do a lot of other people, and they just don't seem to listen.

If they are emailing you, block them. If you see them as ads, then use adblock.

Question

How can I stop all promotional and spam emails?

Community Answer

Don't respond to spam messages and delete them as soon as you receive them. If you would like, open them and look at the very bottom for an unsubscribe from further emails link, but don't click anything else. Also, don't post your email online. People send trolls that look for anything with the @ symbol in it to send spam to.

Question

If I delete one of my Yahoo email addresses, will it affect others I have?

Community Answer

It shouldn't, even if they're somehow linked. Emails sent to and from the accounts may be deleted, so write them down or screenshot them.
