Hi there. The more often you mark these emails as Spam, the more you train your personal mail filter to recognize them as such. We recommend following these steps to manage your incoming emails: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/manage-spam-mailing-lists-yahoo-mail-sln28056.html


You can always create filters: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/new-mail-for-desktop/filters-organize-yahoo-mail-sln28071.html


If you need additional help, you can go to help.yahoo.com


Thanks, 

Yahoo Mail team

    There are emails that are clearly spam and cannot be blocked for example this one: Adult Industry Elongation Method <> It is truly annoying to not being able to block such garbage!
    Also, please increase the spam folder to 10,000. Just 1000 is not nearly enough.

    Spam is not being filtered properly. I get a lot in my inbox. I unsuscribe from so many and it doesn't help when the addresses a lot of times are a bunch of gibberish. I am guessing this might be on purpose to get people to pay for services, but it will make people more than likely turn away from yahoo mail. I am about to myself.

    Does anyone know the email address of the CEO of Yahoo, so that we can forward all of this spam that their system isn't catching to him until he does something about it?

    How can their system not recognize this garbage?

    I've been getting ungodly amounts of spam in the last 2 weeks. I've tried setting up filters with no results. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!

    With all sincerity and respect, but I've been attempting to block and report spam vulgar emails to Yahoo and those emails persist. I know Yahoo probably don't care, but this is just disgusting.

    Dec 2021 there has been a dramatic increase in spam over the past six-eight weeks. Messages with only ????? as the sender/subject are making their way to inbox--as are messages containing "enlarge", "sex" and "bitcoin". I've tried adding filters to no avail. Please add security layers, block sender function or do something about the firewall!

    How much money does Yahoo make selling our email addresses to spammers?

  • William Friebel commented  ·   ·  Report

    My wife and I have both experience a large influx of spam in our inbox which is usually filtered out. This is obviously spam email an unwanted.

    What has changed? It needs to be corrected to get rid of all the spam email.

    I receive about 100 Spam emails every single day! A lot of them are the same emails sent from different bogus email accounts. Most of them are sex emails. I have other email accounts from hotmail, google, and only get about 10 or 20 per day from these other accounts! Yahoo should get their act together once and for all.

    I constantly have spam coming to my inbox. I don't know why it's not being filtered anymore, but it's awful! HELP!!

    Why is the Spam filter allowing junk through Now? Is it because it the end of the year?

  • JEFFREY MESSING commented  ·   ·  Report

    Spam mail is starting to use script instead of Roman and filter cannot correctly process this.

  • Andrew Fontana commented  ·   ·  Report

    Every time I get a Bitcoin email I mark it as spam but unlike other emails I do this to, Bitcoin emails keep on returning. Either there's something wrong with your spam filter or it needs an upgrade to get around whatever it is they are doing.

    I get so much now in the last month. Have you changed the filters? This is now unworkable for me as a primary email account. Can I change Spam settings?

  • J. L. Sanchez commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am getting 30x the spam as normal to my inbox. Please fix this.

  • Cyndie Fitzgerald commented  ·   ·  Report

    Last 2 weeks, I've noticed increase spam mail in my inbox. Yahoo used to filter those emails out. Now suddenly I'm getting SPAM emails in my inbox instead of the Spam box

  • Mirek Sz. commented  ·   ·  Report

    Frauds should be filtered better, option for marking it as fraud is highly desirable.

  • Patrick Poe commented  ·   ·  Report

    There're so much Spam in my inbox, I just go back to delete my yahoo account forever and never come back
