Junk/Spam email dropping in inbox
Hi - In recent weeks I've started seeing high number of spam/junk email dropping in my inbox and not directed to the junk email folder. Trying to mark each of them as spam or move it to junk email folder but this is not manageable. These should have been automatically kept under Junk Email. If this is a strategy to point users to Premium service to have the junk email filtering/blockage that's not correct as this should be a basic email service. If that's the case then I will have depart from Yahoo Email after at least 25 years.

In the past few weeks I have seen a huge amount of spam that's getting through your filters. Impossible to set my own filters to filter it.

spam filter
The spam filter is NOT working AT ALL. I get SO MANY spam emails to my inbox every single day, and it's incredibly annoying! I mark each spam email as spam, so I'm not sure why the spam filter isn't working. FIX IT!!!

improve spam filter
Spam filter is funny in yahoo. It blocks the email from a sender whom I have marked as "not a spam" several times. It allows some emails into inbox but still blocks a few. I also don't like this feedback system. Our problems are being made as a thread and voting is being conducted. What the **** is that!?

Excessive Spam
It appears yahoo has started allowing excessive spam through the spam filter. If this is a ploy to force users to upgrade to plus, that is not a good policy. I'm not so sure upgrading to Plus would even solve this issue. I used to get 2-5 spam daily (also as many legitimate email into my spam folder) and now over the past few days its almost 100 spam not caught. I spend the time blocking spam but it just keeps getting through. It may be time to find a better option after 20+ years using Yahoo. Unfortunate.

contacts
sort by last name vs sort by first name The last name sort shows a small subset of contacts. Useless

ads
Please allow me to block ads for holidays like Mother's Day. My mom passed last year and the last thing I need is constant ads about sending her flowers! There is no '3 dot' link on these ads to indicate that I don't like the ads. Fix this.

Stop spam
Why can't you stop the spam? Getting the same content from numerous email addresses that are supposed to come from places like Costco, Shoppers Drugs, PC, etc., these are all spam and I have sent them to spam every day. You really need to improve your spam filter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yahoo Mail+ - Yearly subscription fee
Offer a yearly subscription payment option in addition to the monthly pester-you-to-death choice. I'll happily sign up for Yahoo Mail+ then.

At this point, I can only guess between two scenarios under the Yahoo roof:
1) Nearly everyone is gone, and there is no one left actually servicing these requests.
2) Yahoo wants users to abandon.The spam handling is a joke. There is still not even a category of feedback about it, let alone any even modest effort to filter even the most egregious spam. By all means, take a look at what I've manually filtered every day and see if you agree. Just taking a look, I have a feeling, is well past the effort level that I'd ever…

Blocked addresses
The limit of 1000 blocked address should be increased to unlimited. I am getting tons of spam unwanted mail everyday and I have almost reached the limit 1000 or give me an alternative solution.

STOP OFFENSIVE EMAILS!
Yahoo needs to do a better job of filtering out junk and offensive mail. I do not need to receive 3 or 4 emails A DAY about African Manhood! Seriously. Can't you find a way to block all email from .uk. I'm sick and tired of having so much garbage in my email.
