Spam Filter
The spam filter is filtering out a lot of my non-spam mail. I have missed a several very important e-mails because of this! How do I fix this problem?

I can confirm spam filter of Yahoo is a piece of ****, especially in foreign languages, like hungarian. No matter I marked a sender as "not spam", it keeps throwing those e-mails to the spam folder. Randomly of course, sometimes do, sometimes not. Sometimes I see the email in inbox, on next login it is in spam folder. I missed a lot of important email (order status, job searching related, etc.) because of this. For f**k's sake, at least, give us the option to disable it or I'll leave to gmail or any other, because I'm getting tired of this.

The same to me.
My suggestion is adding a "Never mark as spam" action for the filters so that I can prevent this by creating filters.

Aside from the fact that non-spam emails are being filtered as spam, the fact that an email address is continually filtered as spam even after it has been marked as "not spam" is highly aggravating. Once I have flagged a sender as acceptable the system needs to retain that selection for my address regardless of how many others might mark it as spam. Constantly needing to check the spam folder for incoming emails I want is defeating the purpose of a spam filter. It would be better to just allow users to select the addresses they do not want to receive mail from.

Same problem. Yahoo mail is almost becoming unusable because so much nonspam mail is going directly to trash. Something changed in the last few months. Adding a filter to send it to the inbox for a particular sender does not work either.

I am having the same issue and this is getting to be a major problem. Yahoo needs to fix this asap and important emails are being missed.

The spam filter ignores constantly marking solicitation/advertising emails as spam, but always allowing the to come into the inbox. Additionally, it consistently ignores christian, 2nd Amendment and most conservative emails ALWAYS marking them as spam regardless of how many times they get marked as not spam. But they have reached a new LOW!!! Marking emails from whitehouse.gov as spam. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES!!!! I'm seriously thinking of cancelling my yahoo account due to you're PERVASIVE BIAS

Used to have a number next to the spam folder showing how many spams in that folder. This is no longer there and was very convenient
