Yahoo email and all its Spamguard is just a piece of crap.
Good for them, because they bombard you with all advertising crap (unless you’re using OPERA it will stop that). When Yahoo first started with its web email it was a crap and now many years later it is even worse crap. Gmail web based email is superior to all of them!

I love the allusion that this guy’s friends do not send him important or humorous mail.

Most of them at least. Especially Outlook seems to suffer from this too.

Mozilla Thunderbird is a bit smarter since it has the ability to learn over time and you can spank it if you think it does wrong!

I don’t really have problems with Yahoo Mail myself. Rarely find a bonafide email sent there.

I considered switching to Gmail for a few days, but since all my accounts are linked to my Y!Mail, I decided to stick with Yahoo. It not like more than half of my e-mails are spam anyway.

Amusingly, the RSS feed for this was filtered to my spam basket…

Same with me, I got spam on sign-up.

Yahoo spam filter works for the most part but Google’s filter blocks alot of automated emails.

Yahoo SpamGuard works rather well. If you want a really sucky one, try hotmail. All my real mail went to spam and all my spam went to my inbox.

Wow, I had no idea any service out there sucked that bad.

Switch to Gmail, I don’t want to hear about your problems using inferior services or products on graphjam. Not Windows, not yahoo mail, not AOL. Switch now.

And that’s why I use Mozilla Thunderbird.

I was actually pretty pleased with Yahoo’s spam guard because at first it didn’t count anything as spam unless you marked it first. But then it changed I guess and started blocking some alerts.. now I have it unblocked and it’s kind of annoying. But I don’t want to go through the hassle of trying to change all of my accounts to another email address.

For me, the important mail would have to be about 90% of the pie.

Actually, i find the Yahoo spam filter about 90% effective. I have an old account that gets lots of spam also. It is a paid account though, maybe paid accounts get a better filter.

Actually, the filter my ISP uses seems pretty good.

Isn’t this just about every spamguard ever invented?
