Howdy;
I also have a yahoo email address that I use for different things. That has more spam than any of my other addresses. I have found that a lot of spammers have learned how to bypass the spam filter at yahoo. Instead of having the header named 'SPAM' at the top of the message, it will say 'NOT SPAM'. When you click on it to delete it, it doesn't have the option to delete.
I learned that if you go through and delete all the spam messages and then before you close the session or empty the trash folder, open the trash folder. You have to open the messages, but when you open them, they all have the 'SPAM' option. It is time consuming, but at least the spammers get blocked. I am finding less spammers now since I started doing it that way.
Hope that helps a little,

Kevin, I know exactly what you're talking about. I also have Hotmail and Yahoo accounts and I get an overwhelming amount of spam. I do know that Yahoo has a way of fixing "Spam Mail"... Here's what you need to do... Open your "Inbox", (Yahoo Mail), and you'll see a button that you can mark mail as spam. Once you do that, it automatically blocks the sender from your inbox. There's also a "Spam Protection" where you can choose the tools you'll use to protect your mail from spam. Go through the options of how you want the spam mail delt with... It's fairly easy. Hope that helps...

If at first you don't succeed, maybe you shouldn't try sky diving!
