Yahoo! Mail is so Web1.0…

Also, who uses Yahoo! mail classic anymore?

Yep, I use Yahoo! Mail Classic as well even though I have a fast cable connection. The new version takes like 30-seconds to load while the old one is less than 5-seconds...that just isn't worth it when I am essentially done with my email within the 30-seconds it would have taken to load the new Yahoo! Mail.

I still use, my connection is too slow to try the “live” version

WOW, I’ve got those as well! I didn’t notice since I just instantly hit [spam]. For me I’ve got a handful of yr 2038’s, but none of those are in english (I should’ve known the asians would be first to develop time travel)!

I too used to use Yahoo as my primary email, especially since I had SBC Yahoo DSL. But now I have made the switch to Gmail as my primary, and for a couple of reasons. One reason was because I got the email address I wanted, it hadn’t been taken up yet. Two, because their spam filter works wonders! Very, and I mean very few spam emails make it into my inbox. The other reason is because I can have my mail sorted to other folders (or as Gmail calls it “Labels”) and still have them download to my pc. Yahoo on the other hand, when you have email going into folders, they don’t download.

I use yahoo mail and ALL of my spam goes to the bulk folder, not a problem for me. Do you folks have your spam filters turned on ?

I set up gmail to chuck any spam into my trash bin instantly. From time to time I’ll actually empty it, and there will be around 100 spams every week (5 actual mails, rest spam).

Otherwise, i think 1 email gets to my inbox a month. And it’s usually a bunk email with nothing in it. I did notice right when I made a new gmail account that it automatically had spam sent to it, so i think new spam places are starting to generate random emails for random addresses.

I think Gmail is better, at least most of the spams end up in spam folder

My Yahoo spam folder at the moment has 5,494 emails. My Inbox appears to get around 5-10 spam messages a day that don’t get caught.

Yahoo has spam filters – they work most of the time? Not sure why other posters are getting all sorts of junk? I have a Yahoo account and only get 2-3 spam per day – the rest go in Bulk items.
