Help with Freecycle account!

[MrsSunshine]

I stupidly signed up a few months ago with freecyle. well im NOT impressed. I know receive an email every single time someone posts an ad.. yes its ALOT in my email box. I've sent them emails asking them to remove my email address from their directory.. that email gets sent back. anyone know how to get rid of the account. or to stop the emails. PLEASE help.

If it's a yahoo group (my local freecycle is) then log into your yahoo account and change the settings. I have mine set so that I dont get any of the e-mails and instead I log in every once in awhile & just check the posts.

no its not sadly. i really should have created a different account for this.

What email provider are you using?

When I was a member of freecycle, it was a yahoo group, so you used to have a yahoo email account to join.

Sorry you are having trouble, perhaps post a message there explaining it, so a mod might see it that way.

A year or two (?) ago when freecycle was taken over, most of those of us in our city who were members formed our own group, because we didn't like their new privacy policies, etc.

I'm not sure how you can cancel your account. (other than what was already mentioned).

Have you tried scrolling to the bottom of one of the emails you recieve - Possibly there will be a link in all the mumble-jumble.

An idea, if you are still wanting to be on freecycle but without all the annoying emails in your normal email. You could set up a "freecycle" email address. (only rec freecycle emails - thats what I do.)

Another thought is that you could create a freecycle folder in your inbox..
Hope this helps!
