Malu and Chaos, I was told that the spam messages never had any subject. They just explicitly stated my Yahoo Mail address. One friend who opened hers said it was for Viagra another for some type of porn. Since deleting that account, almost a week ago, the problem has been solved. I don't think my pacbell email address is sending out spam anymore. It was really only the Yahoo.
Gmail, sigh. It continues to display the same "error" I mentioned yesterday. That sure gets old real quick! I might have to give Yahoo Mail one last shot.
I also liked Yahoo Mail because of YIM. Now, admittedly I only ever chatted with a few people but I loved being able to set my privacy option so only people I invited to IM could contact me. With Google, you can do that, BUT, it also says that all my contacts (email) can IM me and it will "put IM's from those not on my buddy list off to the side." Sounds to me like anyone can IM me. I also, don't quite care for chatting via the email page and didn't care to give Google Talk all the info it wanted. That all said, I noticed the new YIM 10, I believe, seems to indicate that anyone on your contact list can IM you, is there a way to change that? Or does anyone have an older version that does?
I'll check back later. Thanks again.
Mona
