I have Yahoo Mail Plus and am trying to POP it so I can send emails in craigslist and send pictures through Photoshop Elements 6. I pulled up the instructions for Outlook 2003 (which I have) – it says to go to “Tools”"Email Accounts”. There is no “Email Accounts” in my Tools dropdown. Can anyone help a frustrated Baby Boomer?

Anyone feel free to copy this below letter and forward to Yahoo customer service at: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/forms_index.html

To whom it may concern at Yahoo’s free e-mail customer service:

The time has come to finally consider upgrading your spam diagnostics software on the FREE e-mail accounts too, and not just the petty $20/year premium e-mail service. Yahoo e-mail does a HORRIBLE job filtering spam from my inbox & this has ongoing problem for YEARS & YEARS.

The reporting of spam to Yahoo over and over has resulted in zero benefits of alleviating the problem. I continue to receive several hundred e-mails, that are CLEARLY SPAM before even reading it, a month at my personal Yahoo e-mail address. Most of which spam is written in the exact same format or wording. It is so ridiculous your spam filters do not catch it!?!?!?!

You are making the decision very easy for me, a user of Yahoo email and MyYahoo home page since I have owned a computer, to finally consider moving to using Google’s home page/Gmail or Hotmail’s free services. Of the hundreds/thousand people I know, there is maybe five (5) TOTAL that still use Yahoo. That’s it… maybe 5!!! Easily > 90% have switched to using Gmail or Hotmail, as did their advertising revenue $$$$$ as well, long ago because of this spam issue with your service.

When are you finally going to do something, anything about upgrading the spam filtering for Yahoo FREE e-mail accounts????

I currently have Verizon Yahoo On Line Security with Norton antivirus. I think I saw somewhere that in December this is no longer going to be available. Is there any really good security software (for viruses, email, etc.) that is free?

Anyone run in to this before? I’m able to send and receive email attachments for anyone but one person. He sends me an email with a attachment but when I get the email their is no attachment on it. I’ve check the registry setting and all are good, looked for any sort of block on tools => options and even reinstalled outlook 2003 but get the same results…any suggestions?
