DrStopSpam can process your Yahoo spam messages
but first you must save them to your computer in an acceptable format.
At the time of this publication, the best way to do that is to setup
Outlook Express (a free program that comes with Internet Explorer) so
that you can easily save your Yahoo spam messages to your
computer. You will also gain lots of extra benfits so get started now! If
you are a curren user of Outlook Express,
the program allows you to add a new
email account to your existing profile. This means you do not have to replace
your current settings in order to send and receive Yahoo! Mail messages. Here's
how:
- From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts."
- Select the "Mail" tab.
- Click the "Add" button.
- From the Add menu, click "Mail."
- In the text box labeled Display Name, type your name and click "Next."
- In the Email Address box, type your Yahoo! Mail address (be sure to include
"@yahoo.com") and click "Next."
- Under "My incoming mail server is a..." select "POP3."
- Type "pop.mail.yahoo.com" in the Incoming Mail (POP3, IMAP, or HTTP) Server
box.
- Type "smtp.mail.yahoo.com" in the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server box.
- Click "Next."
- In the Account Name box, type your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address
without the "@yahoo.com").
- In the Password box, type your Yahoo! Mail password.
- If you want Outlook Express to remember your password, check the "Remember
password" box.
- Do not check the boxes labeled "Log on using Secure..."
- Click "Next."
- Click "Finish."
Important: The Yahoo! Mail SMTP server now requires authentication. To
turn this setting on:
- From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts."
- Select the "Mail" tab.
- Double-click the account labeled "pop.mail.yahoo.com."
- Select the "Servers" tab.
- Check the box next to "My Server Requires Authentication."
- Click "OK."
To control deletion of messages from the Yahoo! Mail Server:
- From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts."
- Select the "Mail" tab.
- Double-click the account labeled "pop.mail.yahoo.com."
- Select the "Advanced" tab.
- In the Delivery section at the bottom of the window, check "Leave a copy of
messages on server" if you want to save your Yahoo! Mail messages on the Yahoo!
Mail server as well as on your local computer. Do not check this box if
you want your messages to be deleted from the Yahoo! Mail server once you have
received them in Outlook Express.
