Obviously, I didn’t send the spam. How did they use my email address as the “sender” address? Kinda freaky!

When I come to the welcome page on my Yahoo! email account, it says I have 45873 Bulk emails. Naturally, I went to the Bulk folder to see what the problem was-I do get a lot of spam email, but not THAT much-and when I got the the Bulk email folder, it told me it was empty. After a few days of this, the welcome screen and side folder icons are still telling me I have 45873 Bulk emails, but every time I go to the Bulk folder, it tells me it’s empty! Why is this happening? What’s wrong with my email? Help!

I get emails supposedly from celebrites, but when I open them they are just a scheme to get me to do solicitations (1 Platunium, 2 Gold, 3 Silver). How can I report these to spam when I must move them from BULK to my INBOX without taking the chance they also hold a virus or some other tag?
Is there a way to send SPAM directly from my BULK email box? If not, can YAHOO add this function so we don’t have to take the risk of a virus by moving it into our INBOX before sending it to SPAM. I get so many scams, waiting a month for YAHOO to empty the BULK is too long and these emails are SPAM so why can’t I send them as SPAM? Why only from my INBOX and not my BULK mailbox? SPAM websites want you to fill out forms, it would take me day in and day out to keep up with the absolute trash I get yet I want to stop them. SPAM the only option to stopping them without opening that email and asking them to stop? I hope I’ve explained my problem better this time. Can anyone help?

The “not spam” tab doesn’t show up when I actually open a “not spam” email in my “bulk folder”. What’s up?

fantastic money

Can someone please let me know whether my account has been compromised and what are the steps I should take to prevent such problem from happening in the future? Thanks.

I’m not complaining about not getting any more bulk spam but I am wondering what happened that caused it to completely stop all of a sudden.

I get so much crap everyday in my regular email that Yahoo doesn’t block. However, their own marketing emails they send out…start an online store, new toolbar, all that other junk they send out, half of those go to my bulk folder.

Youd think they could figure out how NOT to filter out their own spam. Are they that dumb?
