AI Thread Summary
A significant increase in spam emails is being received in Yahoo mailboxes, with users reporting that three-quarters of spam is landing in the inbox instead of the spam folder. The Yahoo 'OPTIONS' menu does not provide adequate settings for adjusting spam filtering levels. Users are directed to Yahoo's SPAMGUARD for potential solutions, but it appears that the spam filter settings are preset and unchangeable. The primary workaround identified is to manually mark each spam email as 'spam' to improve filtering from specific sources. Despite exploring various Yahoo Help resources, users have found limited assistance in resolving the filtering issues.

All of a sudden 3/4 of spam headed my way is landing in my Yahoo e-mail instead of spam folder.

Any way to reset the filtering/blocking apparatus?

the yahoo 'OPTIONS' button only allows me to decide how often the spam folder is deleted,
nothing I can find about filtering levels..

thank you.

Greg..thanks for the suggestion...I followed the link but so far have found nothing useful.
It says changes to SPAMGUARD can be made, but never says what they are ...It appears the spam filter is preset and can't be changed, yet something DID suddently change which allowed previously blocked spam to enter my regular mailbox.

The only recommended solution I have found so far is to mark each individual spam e-mail in my regular e-mail as 'spam'...then the filter stops further spam from that source...

There must be a better way, but I'll begin that effort today...one e-mail at a time...

I plowed through a dozen or so spam related suggestions in Yahoo e-mail HELP...but found nothing terribly useful.

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'

Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
