I was wondering if anyone who reads this thread has had the following problem with any Yahoo email you have created.
The problem I have been having with more than one Yahoo email I have created is the following below. I have had the following problem below for more than 6 months, but so far under a year.
This is what I sent to Yahoo customer service. I am changing the following a little from what I had actually sent to Yahoo customer service.
I was told the following below as reply to a message I sent on (shared the date) related to Yahoo messenger and how in the (email address) I keep getting a small window asking me (shows the username) would like to add you to his or her online contact list.
This what I was told in a email from someone who works for Yahoo customer service.
I understand you do not want to receive Chat invitations in your Yahoo!
Mail account. I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. Let
me address this concern for you.
If you would like to set Chat to ignore anyone who is not in your
Contacts folder, follow these steps:
1. In the upper-right corner of your Mail page, click "Options" then
select "More Options."
2. Click "Spam" on the left side of the page.
3. Look for the "Blocked Chat IDs" category on this page.
4. Click in the circle beside "Block chats from anyone not in my
Contacts."
5. Click "Save."
This is what I sent to Yahoo customer service in an email.
I wanted to let someone know that I am using the classic version of Yahoo email so when I went to "Options" there was not a "More Options" choice, but there was a "Mail Options" choice. When I clicked on "Mail Options" I did see "Spam" on the left side of the page. When I clicked on "Spam" I did see the "Blocked Chat IDs" category on this page. After I saw the "Blocked Chat IDs" category on the "Spam" page I did see"Block chats from anyone not in my Contacts" and I was able to click on the circle beside "Block chats from anyone not in my Contacts" and than I was able to click on "Save Changes".
I was wondering why when I logged back into the (email address) I am still getting Chat invitations. I may be getting less Chat invitations, but I am still getting Chat invitations that I have to close out the window myself so I can still do other things in the (email address).
I read online on a website not related to Yahoo email that Yahoo email's "Spam" feature can only block 500 emails. I was wondering if the "Blocked Chat IDs" is also limited to 500 blocks that should automatically block Chat invitations so I don't have to block chat IDs myself.
I was wondering why I was getting Chat invitations from people I don't know for the past 2-3 months.
If anyone has not had the above problem in any Yahoo email you created than is that because you don't use the classic version of Yahoo email.
If anyone knows what I could do to try to stop what I mentioned above from happening than let me know your suggestion(s) to help me try to fix what I mentioned above.
