Yahoo Spam versus Inbox

[John1397]

I noticed when opening an email in the spam folder of yahoo then clicking on a link it does not respond and after you move the same email to the inbox then the link will work why do you suppose this is?

I am not sure about this but here is what I think.  Do those messages automatically go to the Spam folder?  If so, then links in those messages are probably blocked from working, for your protection.   In other words, messages that automatically go to that folder are deemed higher risk of containing viruses and malware and the links are disabled for your protection.  When you move messages out of the Spam folder, the links are enabled and you are accepting any risk associated with them.

This perspective seems to supported by http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35113742/links-on-yahoo-mail-not-working and other info or discussions that can be found by searching.
