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,

Why is my city location being shown to spam and bot mailers? Why can't we block them totally rather then leaving them in spam folders, which they can still hack into our account from?
How else do a random fake email ID find our location other then yahoo leaking this information to them? Why can't we freaking report these people? -

Most all messages that are in my spam folder is appspot.com which is total ****. Why is it even allowed? Children can have access to it which I totally resent.
I have tried every filter and cannot stop it from showing in my spam folder. How do I get rid of it completely?

I have tried every possible way to block all incoming spam coming from an email address ending in .run I have not found a way that works. I also wrote to Yahoo support asking them to block this spam but they have refused.
I have received more than 600 spams coming from this person/organization who uses a different email address each time but always ending in .run because they know that yahoo will not block them and the Settings do not allow it to be blocked.

I've marked the same "Amazon/App store" spam scam as spam several times now yet its still getting through to my inbox.
Yahoo really needs to get some sort of image recognition software as the spammer is just sending images as .png files instead of typing out their spam.
Worse of all my main email has suddenly gotten a burst of spam as well when I only use it for very important matters. Getting spam on my personal email is to be expected but why I've suddenly started getting a ton of spam on my private important email leads me to concern that it was leaked. -

Yahoo provides "Email Aliases" and "Disposable email address" which are totally backdated idea to create multipl;e email and to memorize etc. Often we receive disturbing emails or sometime we do not like to get email from unknown sender. I am offering permanent solution for this. That is "Mail Filter".
Mail Filter will deliver all email from unlisted contact to 'Public Box'. If user want to receive email in Mail Box, s/he will have to add sender's email address in contact book first. 'Public Box' will never use more than 20% of total size of mail quota/service. When 'Public Box' will be full, System will delete the oldest email of 'Public Box' automatically forever. If user delete any email from 'Public Box' (or Spam Box) manually, will not go to Trash Box - it will be deleted forever. But if adds the senders email address to contact book, the email will be automatically moved to Mail Box. In contact book , there will be an extra option of 'Approved Domain List'. if user list any domain or sub domain (e.g. paypal.com, wikipedia.org, office.yahoo.com, office.facebook.com) then all email under that domain or sub domain will directly be sent to Mail Box. After activation of 'Mail Filter' no one will be afraid to disclose their email address to public. Although provider will be able to contact with user, it will be fixed.
In addition, Spam Box will follow the same rule: It will not use more than 10% of total quota, when it will be full, System will delete the oldest email of Spam Box automatically forever. But the rule for the Mail Box, Sent Box, Trash Box will be different. These will use the rest 70% of space. When space will be full, System will never delete the old emails, rather than it will stop to receive new email in Mail Box and show 'WARNING'. User will buy more space or delete some old emails from Mail Box, Sent Box, Trash Box manually.
A lot of people are using multiple email accounts (mainly different email address in different account with different email alias or disposable address) only one of those is used as Original Inbox. Others are to hide the real one, sometimes those are mail forwarder only. So if Yahoo launch 'Mail Filter', then they will have to provide the option to merge multiple accounts into one account with the facility to select one of those as primary (default). User will choose one email address/email alias/disposable address as Primary, others will be deleted within 3 months.

Utterly pathetic that Yahoo can't even block the fake Amazon and Apple phishing emails that make it to my Inbox daily! Pathetic! Gmail and Hotmail easily filter them into the Spam inbox. I'm guessing Yahoo has a pay-for-service that protects you and you're hoping people will sign up for it? Yahoo has been a garbage sham ever since that bimbo Marissa Mayer gave away everyone's personal info. Done with Yahoo email, bad enough that I had to quit using their homepage years ago due to the irritating ads that inundated you. Pathetic Yahoo!

Filter emails does not work as expected. I have set up some filter for emails that end-up in spam folder, but i want them in inbox.
In addition, spam folder in web-app and spam folder in mobile-app do not sync, while i can see emails in web-app i cannot see the same email in mobile-app.
More. When i click NOt spam for a certain email (sender) it is not saved, emails from the same person end-up in spam over and over again. -

Bring back the blocking the nasty spam emails. The option is no longer there. This really irritates. All I can do is delete them. Can't block them. If its not broke, don't fix it.
