Your Email Provider usually will have a Folder earmarked for Bulk Mail. Yahoo Email, for example, has such a Folder, and most Bulk Mail gets sent there automatically.
If one Bulk Email should escape the net, you can Mark that particular email as Bulk-or Spam-and that addy will get sent to the Bulk Email Folder along with all the other Bulk Emails.
With Yahoo it is a challenge. You must be very creative with your filters. They only give you 15 filters. Watch for common threads & key words to use when making a filter. Also, the really nutty ones re-arrange spelling to get their trash through - you will use up your block sender allotments very quickly.
Best thing? Everyone complain to Yahoo about it’s lousy policies and get them to adapt measures similar to MSN.
You can definitely reduce them by turning off the cookies but then you won’t be able to enter a good number of websites. People generally use those cookies to look what you are searching for on the web. For example you are looking for a new laptop or camera, you search for it then, you send them the information by those cookies, and they start sending you junk emails about cameras, laptops, etc. Also don’t try to unsubscribe yourself from those junk email lists, they only use it to check if the email account is active. You can also use a software to eliminate bulk emails, but i don’t know how good those programs are.
If you’re using yahoo, you can’t. Some of those were already re-directed from your regular e-mail folder (those you marked “spam”). So, all you have to do is “empty” your bulk folder.
