How can I stop getting spam email that is in Spanish?
That's pretty funny... it's like adding insult to injury, isn't it? But here's the thing... why are you reading it at all? You can tell by the subject line and of course by who it's from, that it's spam... don't open it!! It shouldn't matter what language it's in... we shouldn't open those emails. Even if a so-called offer looks interesting, clicking on any link in any of those emails sets you up for risk of virus.. AND getting more spam, and giving the senders your IP information. If you were to request their spam be sent in English, that would open you up to doubling or tripling the amount of spam you get.
How do spammers fake the date sent in their emails?
They simply change the Date and Time on their EMail Server. Their Spam EMail then takes this time and its added as the Sending time of the email. The only problem is that when the EMail then reaches your provider (ie: Yahoo mail or Hotmail) the Server there will be using the CORRECT date and time, so the dates will look different. :) It is one good way to spot that something is wrong with the EMail and its Spam. The other thing is if the EMail is sent to you from a different country - obviously then the EMail wll have a different time and date as they are in a different Time Zone. ie: somewhere on the opposite side of the world!! Hope this helps.
Why am I getting inappropriate spam email?
If they are in your Spam/Bulk folder, if you don't ever open that folder, you never have to see them. And Yahoo! even empties that folder for us every 3 days or so. If in your In Box, you become quite adept at clicking all the boxes, then hitting the "Delete" button. You don't ever open those emails, so it only takes a few seconds. That's about all you can do.
Why is my unread mail count wrong?
This is the SECOND time this happened. The amount of unread emails is giving a wrong number AGAIN even after the first time I had this & saw a tip that said check your folders. I did & it worked but now ALL my folders don't have unread mails. WHATS THE DEAL?? I also have the LATEST version I believe its Beta.
