Hi I am getting an odd problem in that sometimes I get spam in the inbox of my yahoo mail and then as soon as I delete it the same email appears in my spam folder. I have tried to observe if this happens everytime and it doesn't but the incidents are increasing in the last two weeks. It's very odd and googling comes up with nothing. Has anyone heard of such a thing.

rapattack,

No to worry to much about this issue. I happens every now and then, the reason being Yahoo keeps on changing "spam capturing" algorithm, just to make it more efficient and effective.

I had the same issue for the last whole month and now things seem to settle a bit :)

You should click "Spam" instead of "Delete."

MMmmmm it is a odd thing for the same email to be in both places. I do click spam...not delete. I only delete legit emails that I don't want anymore and spam gets the spam treatment. I don't even open something out of curiosity.
