I haven't found a solution. For those interested, I've done these. I
emailed Yahoo support multiple times. They told me I can go to FAQ,
choose a question, and click No (meaning not satisfied with the
answer) and type in my words. So I did in several FAQs saying they
need to keep bulk mail for 0 seconds instead of 30 days, separate bulk
mail folder storage from other folders' storage, or reject attachment
greater than a configured size. Finally a real person answered and
said:
We are always looking for ways to make Yahoo! Mail more ...
So that doesn't help. Earlier I posted a message to comp.mail.misc and
asked for advice (see
http://groups.google.com/groups?th=3bcbfa30290a5583). Since people
suggested fetchyahoo, I'm going to use that tool to login my account
once an hour to empty bulk folder. Make sure you use the latest
fetchyahoo since emptybulk is a new option.
If anybody else has some advice, let us know.
