does the unsolicited mail in my bulk folder reflect sites frequented by contacts that send solicited mail?

I think they first try out an email at random. If you open one they know the address is real and send lots more. Putting the sender on your 'Blocked senders' list helps

do this - but carefully\nonce you get the email, move it from your bulk folder to inbox.\nthen, open the email.\nnow you will be able to view the link that says "Report Spam" -or- "SPAM" -or- something...\nand just report it as spam.\n\n---x---\nThe other thing, see if the domain name of these originating email addresses is the same. if it is then block that domain from sending you any emails.\n\n--x--\nif nothing works then you are left with 2 options.\neither ignore the emails or create a new ID.

maybe the message went into your spam folder?

Most likely not.  Personally, I would be too skeptical of any business offers that come through e-mail.  They call them SPAM for a reason.\n\nI will make it a point to NEVER do business with anyone who advertises to me through unsolicited e-mail.

The only way to get away from tonnes of spam in your bulk folder is to get a new email address.\n\nUnfortunately.

AOL and Yahoo will have an option for corporates to send solicitated mails to end users. The benefit of this service is that genuine mails from companies would be delivered directly to the user's mail box without passing through the mail filters for spamming. The risk in this is that if companies start sending unsolicited mails through this service, they will be blocked completely regardless of whether they paid or not.\n\nThis service is not applicable however for normal mails that are send from the personal users. In simple words, for normal users like us the e-mail remains free.\n\nFor further reading, check the following news item:\nhttp://www.iht.com/articles/2006/02/05/business/email.php

It would be complicated, but you could always check your 'Sent' folder and outbox for hints. Also, you could mail round your contacts and ask if they have had any odd emails from your account. And, of course if you suspect or discover something, change your password. :D

The reason why some of that mail is going to your bulk folders you have your spam filter turned on.  The spam filter places all suspicious e-mails and to the bulk folder, but every now and then it will catch an e-mail that you were expecting a place in the bulk folder. I'm assuming that you're using Yahoo Mail.  If I were you I'd create rules for my friends and family so that their mail gets directed to their own personal boxes. just hit empty bulk files.

I get about 125-250 spam messages a day in both my gmail and yahoo addresses, can I forward them to you? \n\nI get offers for all kind of goodies from cell phones to laptops to underwear!

Most email applications have a spam folder. Most things marked as spam are automatically sent to that folder upon receipt.\n\nGo to that folder, and find the message in question. Usually there are buttons soemwhere, one of which says "not spam". Meaning, if you highlight the message and click this button, it will no longer be regarded as spam.\n\nYou should find something very similar to this for whatever application you are talking about.

There's so much bulk mail nowadays but it won't hurt if there is a contact number or anything like that to test the validity of this e-mail. Good Luck :)

There's loads of e-mails which ask you to forward to X number of other people - every one of them is a scam and should be deleted.\n\nThere's different reasons for them but usually it's to harvest e-mail addresses which will then be spammed.

A spam or junk mail filter can be very useful for this.  I think most can be set to filter emails not listed among your contacts.  You would just have to be sure all known recipients were listed there so the filtering wouldn't catch them too.

Yes.  And I saw a marked INCREASE in the amount of spam I received.\nNot only that, but it seemed to be personalized spam, as if it came from a source I had submitted info to.
