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

    What is wrong with your Spam Algo's? Are they stupid? I've been identifying anything in the InBox in a foreign language as Spam for a year. I Still get something in foreign languages every day. Why should I get Pro e-mail when such incompetence is shown in basic e-mail. Time to start going to G-Mail I think. PS. Your basic e-mail is also amateurish.

    Every day my spam folder contains MANY addresses in the format of email@****** Can you kill them before they reach my spam folder?

  • Kenneth Reed commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I have no idea that hasn't already been expressed. I have been receiving form 10 to 12 spam letters per day. Most have no OPT OUT message. Some do, however it's just ****. If you opt out, a month later, it will still be there. I have noticed a pattern between AOL and Yahoo. Are these companies " kissing Cousins ? " Tomorrow, I have two meetings . After that I will be looking for another search engine and a new Email address. I urge all Yahoo and AOL users do the same thing.

    his new format is ******* the eyes and, even with modifying the settings, is no improvement. Feedback should not limit characters.
    There should also be unlimited filters and blocking and, more importantly, they should actually work. I keep getting back the same ones, that have the same addresses that I blocked and/or filtered.
    If blocked or filtered, send them directly to trash or, even better, disappear them.

    Please increase the limit of Blocked addresses to 2000 (which is now 1000) in security and privacy as i am getting unwanted messages

    get better spam filters. if you send something once to junkmail, it should auto block any future emails from that address or sender. did you lower the spam blockers just to force people to pay the 2.99 price a month to put the spam blocks back on?

    For once, stop pushing these spam emails to my inbox through the spam filter. I have contacted the CEO of Verizon Media and I've got more spam pushed to my inbox. i hate Yahoo mail. You dont want to fix your bad spam filter because these companies that spam us in our inboxes get paid for it. yahoo has never addressed their inadequate spam filter, not as yahoo, oath or Verizon media. I never get spam in my inbox on gmail. You also took away the option to block entire domains so the spam gets delivered and you profit. I'm going to give you a few domains to block as they are spammers.
    54dnorth.com
    forex4info.com
    mail.petenrich-newsletter.com
    noondady.com
    parallelincapabledozen.com

    and many more. i think Verizon Media and formerly Oath and Yahoo like to Spam their customers. For 20 years now yahoo mail is the most spammed, has the most spam going right to the inbox because you profit from these companies that pay you to spam yahoo mail customers. I use gmail more and more and gmail is my preferred email provider. they dont spam their customers. I'm here on a Saturday morning blocking email addresses of spammers you love out of my inbox. You need to step up your game. telling your CEO gave me more spam sent right to my inbox, not less. You wont do anything about it because you profit from it. fix your inept, bad lousy spam filter for good now.. Yahoo is the spam king! You love spam so much! gotta keep those checks from noondady coming in.

    Honestly I get too much spam in my yahoo account to the point that I am about to stop continuing this account... As a last resort I am requesting you to do something about it... I logged in today and found about 11000 emails in my inbox most of them are spam...
    Please help me with following:
    1) Let me see whole list of sender email addresses. Preferebly let me download in offline (CSV /excel is good enough)

    2) I can review this list offline and mark senders who are genuine
    3) Delete all emails from any other sender not in my list and get to a clean state.
    5) stop receiving spam emails

    Let me know if you can help.

    Please please fix it. how i get so much spam mails on varous subjects: invitations to adult *** pages, job scams, apple invoices and the most persistent is on viagra. i have blocked these keywords but everyday these emails still get to my mailbox. please fix it i am so tired.

  • Leo Bonin commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I would like to see an email that gets blocked, stay blocked. I dont understand the concept behind "unsubscribing" from some email that I never subscribed to in the first place, then when I "Block senders" I get the same email from a different email address. I think a good filter would be to put something in a subject line and it automatically get dumped, I spend hours each week "blocking" spam mail, I think if it is able to get in my spam, it should be dumped or deleted without me even having to see it, when I delete a spam mail, then I have to delete it from the trash folder too..why? delete means delete, not delete it here then go to another folder and delete it again, block means I should never have to see that "subject line" again, until I unblock it.
