I suggest logging directly into the webmail interface through your browser. Most Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have a web based interface (much like Gmaile and Hotmail/MSN) where you can login (using your email address and account password) and access your email that way. You can simply review the messages in your Inbox and delete anything you do not want to download.

How do I block incoming e-mails

You can block incoming e-mails from a specific person or from all email coming from a specific email provider by using Yahoo Mail\'s filter function.



Open an email from a sender you want to block. Look at the toolbar above the message. You\'ll see "Delete, Move, Spam, More". Click on "More".



A drop-down menu appears. Just under "Print", you\'ll see "Filter Emails Like These..." Click on that.



12ce8bf1-29f2-45b9-babc-373e9711e1f3.jpg



Name: Fill in the name of the person or leave it blank.



The boxes for Sender, Recipient, Subject, and Email Body all have the same dropdown menu:



251d819b-3e8f-4936-8ec3-8a705c5df317.jpg



How to use these dropdown menu choices: For example, if you want to block every email from an email account at aol.com, you could choose "ends with" and type in "aol.com". The other options work in similar fashion. You could use the "Subject" field to block all messages about, for example, "college reunion" or "Viagra" or "pron".



Click on the last item, "Then move the message to:" to see a list of all your email folders. If you never want to see messages from blocked senders, choose "Trash" and Yahoo! Mail will delete the message before you ever see it.



Bonus: Once you\'ve learned how to use filters, you can also set up a folder called, for example, "Family". Then you can open an email from a family member, click on the "More" and then the "Filter Emails Like This..." options and you\'ll see the person\'s name and email address filled in. Simply change the "Then move the message to:" to your "Family" folder, and Yahoo! Mail will always file all your family email messages in one folder. To read them, open the folder and you can easily find all family email messages in one place.

Blocked emails

Yahoo! Mail can block all mail from up to 500 email addresses. All mail from these senders will be automatically deleted before you see it.Do not let the high number of potential addresses to block lure you into fighting spam with this, though. Spammers can use a fresh address (or domain) for just about every message.
Use the list of blocked senders for individual senders whose messages you don't want to receive but can't stop easily. Instead of deleting every incoming mail manually, you can have Yahoo! Mail do the job.

How to change settings in Outlook to delete message from server after downloading

Hi, follow the steps below. Don't change any of your settings since they already work, but when you get to step 7 this is where you check whether or not you want to remove the emails from the sever.

Open Outlook 2003 then:
  1. Click Tools ' E-mail Accounts.
  2. Select Add a new e-mail account and click Next.
  3. Select POP3, then click Next.
  4. Enter the following information:
    • User Information
      • Your Name: Type your name as you'd like it to appear when you send an email message.
      • E-mail Address: Type your Yahoo! Mail Plus email address (for example, [email protected]).
    • Server Information
      • Incoming mail server (POP3): Type pop.mail.yahoo.com
      • Outgoing mail server (SMTP): Type smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    • Login Information
      • User Name: Type your Yahoo! ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com").
      • Password: Type your Yahoo! password.
    • Check the Remember password checkbox if you don't want Outlook to prompt you for your password each time you check your mail.
    • Do notcheck the Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) checkbox.
  5. Click the More Settings button. The Internet E-mail Settings dialog box appears.
  6. Select the Outgoing Server tab:
    • Check the My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication checkbox.
    • Make sure that Use same settings as my incoming mail server is selected.
  7. Select the Advanced tab:
    • Under "Incoming server (POP3)," check the This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL) checkbox. The number in the "Incoming server (POP3)" field usually changes automatically from 110 to 995. If it doesn't, type 995.
    • In the Outgoing server (SMTP) field, type 465. Under it, check the This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL) checkbox.
    • If you want to save your Yahoo! Mail messages on both the Yahoo! Mail server and on your computer, check the Leave a copy of messages on the server checkbox. If you want your messages to be deleted from the Yahoo! server once Outlook has downloaded them onto your computer, leave the box unchecked.
    Note: After your messages are deleted from the server, we cannot retrieve them.
  8. Click OK to close the Internet E-mail Settings dialog box.
  9. Click Next and then Finish.
  10. Close and restart your Microsoft Outlook.

How to receive mails from two yahoo accounts to one place?

Hi Vinay,

You need to configur your microsoft outlook or windows mail or outlook express in such a way that you recive mails from both the account to one inbox. Follow the below steps if you have ms outlook.

Microsoft Outlook Express
Yahoo! Mail users can read their email in Outlook Express by subscribing to the Yahoo! Mail Plus service. This service allows you to use Outlook Express or another POP3 client to access and manage your Yahoo! Mail messages.

Outlook Express 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:

1. From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts."
2. Select the "Mail" tab.
3. Click the "Add" button.
4. From the Add menu, click "Mail."
5. In the text box labeled Display Name, type your name and click "Next."
6. In the Email Address box, type your Yahoo! Mail address (be sure to include "@yahoo.com") and click "Next."
7. Under "My incoming mail server is a..." select "POP3."
8. Type "pop.mail.yahoo.com" in the Incoming Mail (POP3, IMAP, or HTTP) Server box.
9. Type "smtp.mail.yahoo.com" in the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server box.
10. Click "Next."
11. In the Account Name box, type your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com").
12. In the Password box, type your Yahoo! Mail password.
13. If you want Outlook Express to remember your password, check the "Remember password" box.
14. Do not check the boxes labeled "Log on using Secure..."
15. Click "Next."
16. Click "Finish."

Important: The Yahoo! Mail SMTP server now requires authentication. To turn this setting on:

1. From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts."
2. Select the "Mail" tab.
3. Double-click the account labeled "pop.mail.yahoo.com."
4. Select the "Servers" tab.
5. Check the box next to "My Server Requires Authentication."
6. Click "OK."

To control deletion of messages from the Yahoo! Mail Server:

1. From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts."
2. Select the "Mail" tab.
3. Double-click the account labeled "pop.mail.yahoo.com."
4. Select the "Advanced" tab.
5. 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.


If your ISP blocks port 25 or if you're unable to send email, then you will need to use port 587 when sending via Yahoo!'s SMTP server. To make this change, please follow the directions below:

1. From the "Tools" menu, select "Accounts"
2. Select your Yahoo! POP account and click on the "Properties" button
3. Click on the "Advanced" tab
4. Next to "Outgoing server (SMTP), change port 25 to 587
5. Click "Apply", then click "OK" and "Close"

check your trash folder in yahoo mail for deleted emails How to Retrieve Email When Deleted From Trash
When emails are deleted from a folder they usually go to the "Trash Bin" and can be restored to their original location. Emails erased from "Trash" are considered permanently deleted by all email programs. Unfortunately, there are neither general nor easy ways to retrieve emails deleted permanently. The usual strategy is to relay on a backup of the mailbox. Some web based mail services allow you to successfully retrieve deleted mailbox content because, for limited time, they keep backups. The Yahoo Mail can do a rollback of a mailbox to the time specified by the user.
jQuery('.intro .thumbnail').each(function(i,e){ jQuery(e).find('img').one('error',function(){ jQuery(e).remove(); }); }); Difficulty: Moderately Easy Instructions
  1. Step 1 Open the web browser and navigate to Yahoo Mail.
  2. Step 2 Login to the Yahoo account by providing Yahoo ID/password information.
  3. Step 3 Decide on the account rollback time that should be about 1 hour earlier than the incident time . Example: if a email was deleted from Trash at 5:15 p.m. choose the mailbox reset time for 4:15 p.m.
  4. Step 4 Save, print or forward to another account all messages received after the time selected in the step 3.
  5. Step 5 Open another instance of the web browser and navigate to the Yahoo! Mail Restore Help Form.
  6. Step 6 retrieve-email-deleted-trash-1.6-120x120.jpg jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery('#jsArticleStep6 span.image a:first').attr('href','http://i.ehow.com/images/a04/qt/n7/retrieve-email-deleted-trash-1.6-800X800.jpg'); }); Under "Mailbox recovery information" select Month, date and time (15-minute increments) chosen in the step 3. Make sure to fill out the time zone field and specify an alternative email account to receive a confirmation email.
  7. Step 7 Click "Submit" on the bottom of the page.
  8. Step 8 Continue monitoring the mailbox and keep backing up all incoming messages (see step 4).
  9. Step 9 The confirmation email from Yahoo mail customer care usually arrives in 6 to 8 hours and the mailbox should be restored as it was on or around the time entered in the step 6.

Received e-mail has stuck during download

Quickest and best solution is to your your ISP's webmail to delete the email causing the problem. (or move it somewhere else so it won't be downloaded).

You haven't given any detail about who your provider is, so i'll just give you an example.

If you were an Optus cable internet customer in Australia, you could go to http://webmail.optusnet.com.au and log in there. You'll need to find your ISP's webmail URL on their website (or call them), then you can read and delete the email that's causing your hangups... the rest of them will come down after that.
