• Yahoo junk mail folder

    On various servers, I treat the junk mail folder as an incoming folder
    because I don't trust the algorithms that test for email spam.

    I use IMAP to check a Yahoo mail account.

    I kept getting a "no such folder" checking Yahoo's junk mail folder.

    I just realized that Yahoo changed the name of the junk mail folder from
    "Bulk Mail" to "Bulk". I updated the entry in .pinerc.

    Just a head's up if anyone else uses IMAP to check mail at Yahoo.

    I just realized that Yahoo changed the name of the junk mail folder from
    "Bulk Mail" to "Bulk". I updated the entry in .pinerc so it works again
    with alpine. Thunderbird users would need to make a similar change.
