text: how do you stop spam on your yahoo email account? i recently started getting tons of spam in my yahoo email account and i'm not sure how to stop it.  i downloaded cdex recently and unsubscribed from their lists but i think they may have given out my email address.  what can i do? the only real solution would be to close that account and start another one and quit clicking on things if your not sure what they are..........or you can endure the spam as it comes in and mark it as spam and yahoo will send any further mail from them to the dump and it wont hit your inbox..............or keep that address and make a new id and inform all your friends of the new you, that way all your friends would be using the new address and you could use the old address to click away........lol          good luck
