How can I stop junk messages entering my yahoo mail box?
According to the anti-spam experts, we are seeing far more spam mails now than ever before. And the spammers are becoming more clever about getting past the spam filters. That's why more spam is making it to the Inbox instead of going straight to the Bulk folder, and why some of your good mails are ending up in the Bulk folder. There are a few basic things we can all do to keep spam to a minimum... 1. Spam mails that go straight to Bulk should be left there, unopened. You can empty the Bulk folder any time you want, but never NEVER open spam mails. And DON'T try to unsubscribe from anything. 2. Spam mails that land in your Inbox should be marked as Spam so that they are moved to Bulk and placed on the Blocked list. (Blocking an address prevents mails from being received from that address again in the future.) 3. Any email that you are the least bit suspicious about should be deleted immediately. Don't let curiosity get the better of you. Simply opening a spam email out of curiosity could alert the spammers that you have an active email address (they probably didn't know it before), to which they will undoubtedly send TONS of spam mail in the future.
I am suddenly getting tons of spam, what do I do?
no. Gmail uses their brains. Once an email, appears ONE time, in "spam" folder, that address is BLOCKED and does not REappear. vs. yahoo mail---yahoo hopes they will MAKE MONEY, from spammers. So, they do NOTHING, not a thing- to BLOCK a spam sender, from RE sending. I get tons of new spam daily, and no- i didn't give out my address. And the SAME senders. REsend spam to me constantly. yahoo mail needs to use gmail methods- and forever BLOCK any sender of spam- from resending to my (your) email address. period. i get at least 25 new spam messages daily, usually more.
Why does someone send me an email that someone I've never heard of has made a will for $20 million?
There is no big money comes your way on emails You should not even be opening email from people you dont know http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_sc... Never give anyone who emails you or that you meet on sites ....money ! Never wire money to a stranger.. thru Western Union or Moneygram Its the sign of a scam. They are fine companies but not for strangers They will need money from you to get the process underway They will hit another snag and need more money Pretty soon you start wondering if the money will ever reach you ( also they will want your banking acct number at some time too) Eventually, after you've "invested" a few thousand and the money isnt making progress. You will start questioning what is going on About then ..they will just steal your money and that will be the end of things They write a name ? Big deal These are probably nigerian scammer who are criminals You never get any money to even worry about taxes Why? Because there is no money This letter just wasnt mailed to you..they mailed it too hundreds of others at the same time. Know NIgerian Scams These are all advanced fee scams or Nigerian scams http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_sc...
The only reason I know of that would restrict you from commenting on Instagram is that Instagram believes your account goes against its terms of service somehow. I ran into this problem once and simply had to change my bio on my profile page.Try removing your bio completely and seeing if you can post comments. If you are able to post comments again than rewrite your bio and adjust its content/wording. Please upvote if you found this useful!
Why does Yahoo Suck so much?
I don't know but today I tried to change the local yahoo search (UK) to the US version on Chromium. It was easy to delete the UK Yahoo search engine but then I couldn't add the US version to Chromium. First I looked it up on Google and it wouldn't give me the answer, so I thought maybe it was political and looked it up on Yahoo. Yahoo's search results were worse than Google's!. I thought that if Yahoo doesn't care enough to provide me with the information I need to use their search engine in my browser, perhaps I shouldn't be searching for stuff on their portal. I think Startpage and Duckduckgo are becoming the good alternatives to Yahoo. I have been kicked out of Yahoo answers by mistake. A mistake that took them almost a year to fix. Finally let me just say that Yahoo's annoying email service is only slightly slightly better than Microsoft's oversecuritized and bothersome Hotmail.
Every Gmail user has two email addresses. For example: if you have a Gmail id: xyz@gmail.com, the second one is xyz@googlemail.com. This will be useful for opening multiple accounts in a website or app. For example, In Redbus mobile app, if you are new user (i.e., if you use new email id) you will get flat 100 rupees off on ticket booking. If you have already used xyz@gmail.com you can still use xyz@googlemail.com and take advantage of the offer. You will receive your ticket to your normal inbox itself. Thank me for saving your time from creating a new email account. Ref: All Gmail Users Have Two Email AddressesEdit: Updated from the tips given in the comment.The dots in the Gmail id doesn't matter. Lets say your gmail id is someone.initial@gmail.com, then if somebody is sending email id to so.meoneinitial@gmail.com or someoneiniti.al@gmail.com then the email will be delivered to someone.initial@gmail.com inbox itself. Create unlimted email ids by adding + anything to your email id.Say your email id is xyz@gmail.com, then if you add any letters after your name by adding '+' symbol, the emails will be delivered to xyz@gmail.com inbox itself. This is a nice trick when you are registereing in a suspicious website. Some websites will sell your email ids for money, and the buyer will spam advertisemts to your inbox. Say http://randomwebsite.com is a suspicious website and you want to register in it for some reason. While registering give your email id as xyz+randomwebsite.com@gmail.com. The emails from the website will be delivered to xyz@gmail.com, and you can simply fliter out the message from this website by typing xyz+randomwebsite.com@gmail.com in search box. Also if you find that the spam mail have the receipent email id as xyz+randomwebsite.com@gmail.com, then it means that http://randomwebsite.com has sold your email id.
I've practically hacked my own email accounts a number of times. I end up forgetting the passwords and trying a brute force attack with several variants of the password. When there are still people out there who use "password" as their password, it's fairly easy to hack someone's email. Also, a trick one could try is to go to gmail and select "create new account" and type in random email addresses. When there is one that says "that address already exists, please try something else" then you take the one that exists and start doing a brute force password entering session on it. If you get in, there may be something useful there, maybe just spam, but this could be an option. I haven't actually tried this... It may work and it may not!
