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

    spam filter is garbage. tired of spam getting through after marking it as spam!!! this has been a continual problem with yahoo mail. i am not paying a subscription fee for you to fix something that should be fixed for free. **** service!!!

  • Joe A Sutherland commented  ·   ·  Report

    Since Yahoo started promoting Yahoo PLus as a paid service, there have been a lot more spam emails getting throuh on Yahoo Mail. Is this jusst a coincidence or is Yahoo deliberately letting more through just to force us to subscribe to their pay serevice. My solution is to go to gmail.

    This Yahoo.no-reply@cc.yahoo-inc.com keeps sending me " credentials needed" message constantly. I would like to verify , if this is from Yahoo.
    And I don't want to receive any messages from this address. Thank you.

    Spam filters need to be improved. Some of the junk mail coming through can't be blocked.

  • Barbara Burke commented  ·   ·  Report

    For the last few weeks I have numerous spam emails. The filters need upgrading or fixing, as they are not working very well.

    Teach whatever you use as block to read McAfee, Camp_Lejeune or any other spam in any way possible in their emails.

    Spam is at an all time high. So tired of getting vulgar email from junk senders in my inbox. Norton and McAfee are sending 2-6 emails a day. Seriously, Yahoo! should be able to do better.

    For the past few months I've seen an increase in 2 things: 1) a lot more Obvious spam and 2) a lot of yahoo ads for paid email service, promising to block spam if I'll only pay yahoo for my account. That feels a little too much like blackmail. Stop it.

  • Larry Merrick commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am getting more than 5 emails a day that are SPAM and I cannot do anything to block them since the From email account does not display a valid email address. Instead it displays "Auto generated card visible only to you"
    Marking it as SPAM has done nothing.
    This seems to have started on July 4, 2022

    This is making Yahoo Mail unusable. Please provide a method to auto identify them as SPAM or be able to block the sender.

    Ever since you decided to charge to keep spam out of our inboxes, I have an influx of up to 30-50 messages a day coming in that are clearly spam. Typical tech trying to make more money!!

  • Lori Houde commented  ·   ·  Report

    Bring back the "Block Sender options in the SPAM folder. PLEASE!!!!

  • John Ward commented  ·   ·  Report

    Multiple "macafee' emails get thru. Non show the originating site when a
    mouse hovers over the 'sender'. Why can't you see these are SPAM?
    (other false sites have same feature: Kohls...Norton....others
    Recently got 9 'macafee' emails in 3 days. Work on your filter algorithms.

    Fix the spam filter, and custom filters. im getting crazy amounts of spam, and even thou i setup up custom filters to route the spam to its folder, they dont work

  • Martha Bell commented  ·   ·  Report

    For the last month I've been inundated with spam from Norton and McAfee telling my my account has expired but I have no account with either!! The should end up in my spam folder but they're there sometimes but also in my inbox. What am I supposed to do to stop this deluge of meaningless email? I tried offering feedback but you just took me in circles!! I need help!!

  • Sidney Supulver commented  ·   ·  Report

    You’re doing well on my yahoo email blocking spam but terrible on my att and sbcglobal emails. Is there a reason for this? And now trying to sell me a monthly spam protection???!!
