when I email something to myself it automatically goes into bulk mail rather than my inbox , why ?

There is somethingin your bulk mail settings that makes your system assume that if an email comes from you it must be a spammer attempting to disguse himself as you.

I set up a special rule in my email so that if I happened to send or ‘cc’ myself on an email then it would get delivered to a special folder no the bulk folder. I could change to rule to have it delivered to my inbox but it’s usually client related so I have a special folder fo it.

Check your settings and see if you have the ability to set up rules for email delivery. If you have Yahoo I know you have that capability.

In the bulk folder—open those emails and then click “not spam” and they will be returned to your inbox.

THEN
Put your own address in your address book—-which, according to Yahoo—acts like a safe list, and they will start going to your inbox.

That “other” person should also be added to your A-book.
