You can go to Options->Spamguard settings and choose to move all your bulk mail directly to trash as and when it comes. But if by any chance, you happen to get a legitimate message in your bulk, even that will go to trash. So such a setting is not recommended. Bulk doesn't take up any space anyway.

if you did this on a yahoo e-mail account, go to your spam list and delete them from the list.  this will allow their e-mail to be placed back in your recieved list

Wow, with that many I would select them all and "move them to junk mail folder"....then you can click on the "empty" button.\n\nHope that works for you.\n\nAlso, go to yahoo chat help line.  They may be able to do it for you from there.

I don't think you can. It's an anti-spam security feature keeping spambots from misusing multiple email accounts.\n\nThis feature would probably be available (but up to a limit) on a chargeable email account such as the one your ISP provides for you or a Yahoo professional package.\n\nHope this helps

If you are using a free web-based mail service, such as Yahoo! Mail, I guess the easiest thing for you to do is to drop your current email address and create a new account. Tell all your friends and family that you have done so, and your inbox should be relatively free from spam from then on.\n\nThen, DO NOT answer ANY spam letter you get. All those offers of free iPods, free XBOX games, free HP notebooks, offers from people overseas saying that your cousin died and left you TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS U.S. and all you need to do is write to them to collect it...they are all spam. You answer any of them, or you click on any of the links they contain, and you have just told the whole spam world "here I am, spam me please". As soon as you confirm that it's spam, delete it. Period.\n\nThen, make sure that your SpamGuard (or whatever else that that feature is called) is enabled in your new web-based email account. Any mail that you receive that you know is spam, click on the button that says "Mark this mail as spam". The more you use it, the more the system will learn to recognize spam and automatically divert it to your Junk mail folder.\n\nThen, all of those popup ads that appear are also mostly spam in the making. Get one of those toolbars that have a Popup Blocker (like Yahoo! Toolbar) and enable it. I feel that any advertiser who has to resort to popups to get my attention doesn't deserve my attention. (sorry Orbitz!)\n\nFinally, keep your antivirus and spyware applications running and up-to-date, and periodically scan your machine, every day for spyware and every week for viruses is a good plan. And get and install a good software firewall on your machine as well.\n\nP.S.: That poster who said that if you use Google Mail you won't get spam isn't exactly correct. What is true is that it doesn't get as much spam as a lot of the other services get, but they do receive spam. I have a GMail account which I don't use with many people and I still get three or four spam mails every time I open my inbox. The good thing though is that it is almost never in my main inbox, but is in the Spam folder already, making it easy to delete it at once.

Yahoo was like that for a few days. The work around I used was logging into messanger and clicking the hotlink that told me i had new messages.  Since I no longer use Hotmail or MSN email, i no longer get the notifications of new email from MSN messanger.  You might try the workaround that i used? Kudos for good luck in finding out what is up with it.

Try using something like Microsoft Outlook. I've never set up an yahoo address with it, but it should allow you to download all your messages and then send out new ones once you are online.

its absoultly free read the following steps very carefully make sure u complete all steps........\n\n \n\nMicrosoft Outlook 2002 (XP) & 2003\n \nYahoo!

Mail messages. \n\nIf you are a Mail Plus user, then follow the directions outlined below: \n\nTo configure your POP settings for Microsoft Outlook 2002 (sometimes referred to as Outlook XP) and 2003, follow these steps: \n\nFrom the Tools menu, select "Email Accounts." You may have to click the arrows. \nSelect the radio button next to "Add a new email account" and click the "Next" button. \nSelect the radio button next to "POP3" and click the "Next" button. \nEnter the following information: \nUser Information \n\nYour Name: Enter your name as you would like it to appear in the "From" field of your outgoing messages. \nEmail Address: Enter your full Yahoo!

ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com"). \nPassword: Enter your Yahoo! password. \nDo not check the box next to "Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)." \nClick the "More Settings" box and select the "Outgoing Server" tab. \nCheck the box next to "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication." \nIf you would like to keep a copy of your email messages on the Yahoo! Mail server, select the "Advanced" tab. Check the box next to "Leave a copy of messages on the server." \nClick the "OK" button. \nClick the "Next" button on the Email Account Wizard, then click "Finished." \nImportant: The Yahoo!

Mail messages on both the Yahoo! Mail server and on your local computer. If you want your messages to be deleted from the Yahoo! Mail server after you have received them in Outlook, do not check this box. \nIf your ISP blocks port 25 or if you're unable to send email, then you will need to use port 587 when sending via Yahoo!'s SMTP server. To make this change, please follow the directions below: \n\nFrom the "Tools" menu, select "E-mail Accounts" \nSelect "View or Change existing email accounts" and click on "Next" \nSelect your Yahoo! POP account and click on the "Change" button \nNext, click on "More Settings&quo

With Yahoo you just check it and mark as Spam. With MSN you check them and put them in junk folder,then open the junk folder and check all of them and empty junk mail,make sure to click on REPORT AS SPAM and this eliminates a lot of junk mail getting into your inbox because it will recognixe it as junk and automatically put it in junk folder for you. Also you can set up spam guard settings on your mail.

I don't have any problems with the reply feature.  Why do you care that you have 3000 messages in your spam folder?  You never have to enter the folder. Its spam.  Quit giving out your e-mail address so freely and you won't get as much spam.

If you have a Yahoo mail account make sure that your bulk folder is turned on in options. Most mail accounts have something like that. In yahoo it's called SpamGuard. I rarely have to look through my bulk folder because 99.9% of the time it's junk.

I'm pretty sure yahoo doesn't delete messages (though I could be mistaken). However, they allow for 1gb of storage. If that isn't enough for you, which it should be, you can try gmail. They currently allow for 2.7gb of storage.

Try mozilla thunderbird. It has a spam filtering that sends all those messages to the spam folder where you can delete them. \nI don't use outlook, so I can not tell if there is a filtering option there too.

I'm assuming you are reffering to the Bulk Mail in the Yahoo folder.\nI'm assuming that yahoo mail server has software that checks incoming mails for spam. Based on the spam score of the message it will either let the message appear in the Inbox or Bulk mail. \nNow no spam filter is perfect and thats why sometime mail can still be delivered in the wrong box.\nYou can change a message status in both InBox and Bulk folder. There is an Icon in the inbox that will allow you to conider a particular message spam, and in the bulk mail to select a message and select the non spam option.

i don't think you can. unless you have the smtp and pop settings for yahoo, which they don't give out for the free accounts. you could try the paid yahoo account.
