doesn't yahoo have some form of spam removal? i don't use yahoo so i don't know, but i would assume it does?
If your going to do it in vb.net i guess you can write code to log onto your yahoo account using imap if yahoo supports that, which it probably does?. Using IMAP you can go through the mail in the inbox and move it to whatever folder you want. Here's a link to a free IMAP lib you can use. ImapX – free for use .NET library | HelloWebApps i do not believe vb supports email that much, it supports sending, but other things like pop3, secure, and Imap i think your gonna need to write or find a lib like the link i shared.
Unless there's some kind of external feature... i think your going to have to first decide what is spam and what isn't, then loop through all of the unread/read? message and remove the messages that are marked as spam. I really feel like yahoo already has a spam filter of some sort.. i know google has spam removal, and you can mark messages as spam so it'll know to put it into the spam folder next time.
