I have been getting spammed pretty hard lately in my Yahoo mail account. Seems like there used to be a setting for immediate deletion of spam from the spam folder, but now I can't seem to find it.
Here are the directions to change it from the yahoo site:
You can choose how long you want to keep messages in your Spam folder. You can keep messages for one week, two weeks or one month. The default setting is one month. You can also choose to delete them right when you get them.
To choose the length of time you keep messages in your Spam folder:
Click Options in the upper-right corner of your Mail page and select More Options.
Under Spam, click Spam Protection.
Under “For messages SpamGuard recognizes as Spam”, choose either:
"Immediately delete these messages upon receipt", or
"Save these messages in the Spam folder for..." (then select your desired interval from the pull-down menu.)
Important: Occasionally, valid email messages may be perceived as spam and delivered to the Spam folder. If you select "Immediately delete these messages upon receipt", you will not have an opportunity to review the messages in your Spam folder before they’re deleted.
Click Save Changes.
First off I have no options button on the top right of my page.
I do have an options button on the upper left that lists mail options. But when I click on the spam control tab it does not have a immediate deletion option. Only a once a week, once every two weeks, or once a month option.
Anyone know where the immediate delete option is at????
Much appreciated!!! Tom
