You can't.  And it is not wise to just give our your e-mail address.  Now people will spam you continuously.  Be careful.

If your email address is yahoo, just put them into the blocked address by pointing to their mail and click "spam". Done. \nGood luck.

On the list of choices just above the message, where there's "move to" and "delete," another choice is "spam."  If you mark it as spam, you won't get more from that same address.  After awhile, you will have weeded out the stuff you don't want.

you can just stop using the e-mail part of it.  Don't send anything out of that e-mail address, and don't check it.  It may not delete it, but it would get the message across that it was no longer your correct e-mail address.

Use this link to delete an existing yahoo email account:\n\nhttps://edit.yahoo.com/config/delete_user\n\n\nNote that this will completely delete your account and you will not be able to access the mails again.\n\nRead this to understand this completely:\n\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/access/access-08.html

You could just quit using that one and create another one. Or you could go to your Mail Options and set it to delete spam on arrival. And you can mark emails as spam so they would be sent to your bulk folder which would get deleted before you ever see them.

if your e-mail address is in yahoo then do not do anything, i mean you dont used your id for about 60 days or more, in fact you please don't used your previous e-mail address

let me give a suggestion most spam mails are sent to the bulk folder so if u delete it only the mail gets deleted & the id not blocked . so what u can do is create a folder called spam tranfer all the mail into it(spam ones)then click on the spam found on the top of the message \nthere is no need of opening the mail u can jus select the mail(check on the box) then click on spam option the id gets blocked\n\n\n\njust stop opening the mails & after a while the mail them selves will be deleted & after some time te spamer will stop sending u mail\n\nu can also use the disposable id feature of yahoo while regestering online

You can use Trashmail. It's not an email provider, per se, but if you're trying to avoid spam it works nicely. http://www.trashmail.net/\n\nIf you want an actual provider, try http://www.hush.com/\n\nThey have free very secure e-mail accounts. And they don't "ask questions" (How many questions did Yahoo ask you, really?)

Download a little program called Mailwasher. When you have mailwasher on your system set it up to your account that is getting hit with spam. After you have done all that check your mail. Also in the program you can delete any e-mails before they are sent to your mail program. Click on the link below to learn more about this cool little program and there is also the free download on that site.  Good Luck...

Then don't respond for their e-mails, when you respond, they'll just send your e-mail to other people and then, give you more spam. Just a simple process:\n\nRecieve spam? Then delete spam.

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

Probably abuse@yahoo.com if you're not a Yahoo mail user. Personally I wouldn't bother, what are they going to be able to do about it?

Everyone else answered your first and last question, so you should know what spam is now.\n\nThe most important question, "How to avoid it," has not been answered, and most people don't seem to figure it out, and would rather waste their time fighting it and installing new software and doing "maintenance."\n\nThe best way to do away with spam, is to open a second email account, and never, ever, ever sign up online for anything on the internet with that account. \n\nNow that the internet folks have your email address, it will only get worse as they sell your information to others, pass it around, trade it for other information, and generally expand the proliferation of your email address.\n\nAlmost all ISP's offer multiple email addresses, or you can get a freebie from Yahoo or MSN or whatever. \n\nNot only the "best" way, but the only way to do away with spam is to create a clean email account, and don't give it away to people you don't know. Nobody can use your email that you don't give it to. Use your spammed account to chat or join rss feeds or groups.\n\nGood luck fighting the old account. It's a losing battle.\n\nIncidentally, I have an email account I use strictly for my business that has never received one email I didn't want; not one piece of spam in over a year. What a pleasure it is to use, when you know waiting email is something you need or want. No more time wasted for unneccessary "maintenance" and fiddling with filters and blockers and the latest new spam program.
