For some reason I cannot view my "Bulk" folder in Yahoo, i.e. it is
not listed at all. I only have four folders listed: Inbox, sent,
drafts and trash.
My spam guard is turned ON.
I'm just worried about this because I've heard of messages eroneously
filtered into the Bulk folder, but if I can't view this folder, I may
permanently miss certain messages.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks
Kris

I believe you have to go to yahoo mail to view the bulk folder. On
your yahoo home page click the mail icon. there you can view all
folders.

He says "I only have four folders listed: Inbox, sent, drafts and trash."
Doesn't that imply that he's already *there*?

Not sure about Yahoo mail, but some have a delete spam/bulk mail on
arrival option. This could be why there is not bulk mail folder. Check
your Yahoo mail options and see if this may not be the case. If it is
just adjust your settings to hold in a bulk mail folder. Just checked
and this option is present in Yahoo mail. Uncheck the delete messages
immediatly option and this should solve your problem. From Yahoo Mail
click: Options-Spam Guard-Save messages in bulk mail option. There is
then a time option for how long to hold these messages.

When you signup for a Yahoo Mail account, there is no Bulk folder. When
you enable their anti-spam funtion, there still is no Bulk folder. The
Bulk folder gets created on the FIRST occurrence of spam that their spam
filter detects and needs to put into the Bulk folder (i.e., that folder
gets created on its first use). You can have an account for months and
never have a Bulk folder in it.

I have 4 freebie Yahoo mail accounts. One has a Bulk folder simply
because it has a username composed of my first and last name so name
generators used by spammers will slam it occasionally. Another account
got spammed due to an experiment but has since received very little
spam. The other 2 accounts have never gotten spammed yet in about 10
months so they have no Bulk folder.

Yes, Blinky you have interpreted my message correctly, but fair enough
Gringo, I should have stated "I cannot view my "Bulk" folder when I am
logged into Yahoo Mail".
Anyway, any suggestions about the actual cause of my missing folder?
Perhaps it appears only once I recieve a message that Yahoo decides is
Spam?
