Chuck, Guess I'm the exception; I have 4 yahoo accounts, not counting the other 4 that my wife and kids use; we have never had any major problems like what you describe. Forgive me for playing dumb, but I assume you've tried to delete these errant files both ways (1:hitting the delete button while reading the message and 2:checking the check-box in your inbox next to the message and then clicking on "delete checked messages")? Both ways have always worked for me. What happens when you do either of these things? (I'm just really curious!) Also, I always make it a point to hit the "empty trash" link just about every other day to clean up the trash folder (I do get a lot of spam in this particular account). Anyway, assuming you've already tried all that obvious stuff, I can see why you are frustrated; good luck contacting a "real" person on the other end... I have no idea how much money Yahoo mail (or any of the free email services) generates through ad banners (and/or perhaps spam) for the parent company, but I suspect it isn't a whole lot. For providing me with a way to keep in touch with various people around the world, I'd say I sure get more than my money's worth from these guys, problems notwithstanding. My 2 cents (heck, I don't even pay that!) Rich --- Jim Stitley <sitf2000@yahoo.com> wrote:
I know so many people who have their own issues with Yahoo - from email, to clubs being shut down to even the used-to-be-free Personals. Yahoo seems to be turning off all their loyal customer base. It is impossible to reach anyone. But, just a few months ago when a teen took a huge security problem public when AOL could not be reached or would not respond., AOL got very critical they weren't contacted first. Well, it backfired big time on AOL! These huge internet companies have grown too big to manage their business and customers. Yhaoo used to be light years ahead of AOL in customer support/service, but no more - they are in a head-to-head race for poorest service. Jim Stitley --- Chuck Hards <chuckhards@yahoo.com> wrote:
Today Yahoo! decided that everything in my Trash file for the last week or so needed to go back into my In box, and I can't delete any of them.
My Inbox is nearly full as a result.
Until I can get ahold of a human being at Yahoo! (surprisingly difficult so far), please use my office address if you need to correspond with me.

Im really sick of Yahoo! If they can't fix the problem, I'll have to abandon this address. I've threatened this before, this time I might have to actually do it.
Thanks
Chuck
