Everything about bulk email, emailing, mass email etc.

Yahoo has just updated Classic Mail to be more like New Mail. The bulk mail folder has been renamed spam like in new. Someone just wrote to me indicating they still had a bulk mail folder. How is that possible?

I know of addresses that can be used for the postal service junk mail, but not for e-mail. I do not want to change my address because I use it professionally. I do use a filter, but I need to review my bulk mail for messages that get directed there unintentionally.
A suggested hint for others; never give out your address to the Publishers Clearing House. I was okay before hand, but now receive 100-150 pieces of spam a day, even though I called them and asked that there sponsers eliminate me from their list. Help!!!

It says my email, it’s usually in my bulk folder(I think that this has happened 2 or 3 times), but I never sent it out, the materials aren’t mine or anything I like and in fact I abhor this sort of thing. . .
Have I been phished?
What can I do to stop this?
Should I change my password?

Sometimes they land in my bulk folder, sometimes in regular folder, but I have been receiving an increased number of these through my AT&T and Hotmail emails. I usually check my bulk folder because some legitimate emails are stuck there at times. I have noticed that the tone of these emails is changing too and some of them are demanding my attention and are rude (I only look at the first sentence to make sure it is junk and then just click DELETE).

I do not know anyone that ever fell for these scams – I am realistic and do not think money will fall out of the blue sky and if it is too good to be true, it is a scam.

Have any of you ever heard about anyone falling for this, not only personally, but maybe in local media? I just cannot think of anyone being so greedy and so silly, nicely said, to fall for it.

I am just not sure why the junk mail operators think we will fall for it, or we all need drugs, or enlarging something, or buying a fake diploma, etc., but some people must be falling for it or buying if they keep on emailing.

My friends email me, and ask me if I got the message….problem is, I don’t, and end up checking the bulk/junk. I know how to switch that certain email to my inbox, but I don’t know how to permanently stop this, and make sure they ALL end up in my inbox. Plus, sometimes the emails are important work from teachers. Help?

When I add a referral link to my signature it causes the email when sent to land in the recepients bulk email instead of the inbox. How do I get it to not do that?

I have a couple of thousand real estate investors in my database and I would like to send them out an email. What is the best blaster on the market? When an email comes for an email blaster how can I keep the emails from being put in their bulk/junk email folder? Thank you for your time.

Is using Bcc a good option to sending out large amounts of emails to my mailing lists? I have tried using direct delivery, but that is not working. I have also tried the bulk email marketing servers, but I had too many spam complaints and they terminated my account. I’m not spamming, just responding to emails from my ads.

I just dont get what the big fuss is about spam? Why is spam being targeted so ferociosly; especially when untargeted advertising is a common theme in biz marketing practices. Consumers are forced to: watch commercials, banner ads on the websites they visit, text ads when doing a simple search on a search engine, postcards and junk mail from direct marketers etc

So what makes email so special? If I have a website that does real business and I buy a list of emails to spread the word about my business, why should I worry about “being punished” for doing that.

What really gets me is that small time entreprenuers who are in business themselves are some of the main people pushing the idea about spam.

To me its like saying, youd rather pay Google and Yahoo $$$ for PPC–

Yes, i do understand about *** ads but people have bulk email folders etc to deal with that

So why should real businesses have to suffer if they choose to use bulk email as a marketing tool
So its ok to advertise endlessly if you pay for it. Is ok to pay for cable tv but still have to watch commercials. Spam can disappear with just a click of your mouse. I get spam too most of them go to my bulk folder. I bulk folder about once aweek, scan it for anything good then click trash.

Iam looking for thoughtful responses not little kids giving me attitude because I have an argument for spam.

I just want to know what makes email so untouchable while almost every other method.

Is it ok to get junk mail in your real mail box from people that say “You have just won 1 million dollars”

whats the real difference. At least with email you are not wasting paper.
Iam not looking for stupid people to attack my character. I dont spam and I dont have business yet. Iam trying to assess the market for myself and understand the real problem with spam too but Iam not so emotional about I just erase it.
Email is a free communication platform, just like the platform we use to to search for websites.

If you pay for cable tv is it fair that you still have to watch commercials on certain channels.

I live in America and it is a free market, capitalist system and the laws that govern that nation say it is legal to spam as long as you abide by their guidelines.

Why are people so emotional about spam? When there are bigger things to be emotional about it the world?

What are homegrown business providers to do, when they have a good business to offer but only a limited amount of funds to advertise?

Even big websites like Monster.com sends me spam and I dont **** them for that.

I have a huge list of email addresses that I need to send mail to. The content is the same for all, but I’d like to change only the name for the recipient on the mail. Anyone know how I can do this (not in Yahoo mail though).
