I am using Outlook 2003. Outlook downloads my email just fine from yahoo. The only problem is that Outlook downloads mail from all the folders on Yahoo, and puts them all in my inbox in Outlook. Because Yahoo does a better job at catching spam (I am a Yahoo Mail Plus subscriber), it puts most junk email into the Yahoo Bulk email folder. This does me no good however if Outlook downloads it and puts it right back in my inbox...how do I get the Bulk email in Yahoo to download to a Bulk email folder in Outlook?

The only thing I can think of is that you set a rule to put Yahoo mail in a separate folder. Unless you know exactly which sender/subject/message content is always bulk...

Microsoft Outlook(all versions)
To filter the messages in your bulk mail folder to a different folder:
From the Tools menu, select "Rules Wizard." If you do not see "Rules Wizard," place your cursor over the two arrows at the bottom of the list to display more choices.
Click the "New" button.
Check the box next to "Check messages when they arrive."
Click the "Next" button.
Check the box next to "With specific words in the message headers."
Click "Specific Vords."
Type "X-YahooFilteredBulk" in the text field.
Click the "OK" button.
Click the "Next" button.
Choose the action you would like to occur (for instance, if you would like to move the messages to a different folder, then select "Move to specified folder," then click the specified folder link and choose the appropriate folder).
Click the "Next" button.
Make any exceptions filters, then click the "Next" button.
Name the rule as appropriate.
Click the "Finish" button.
