Spam Folder Search Capability Needed
Can you please implement a way to search the Spam Folder in Yahoo Mail? Spam filtering is never perfect, and if there isn't a way to search that folder when I don't see an email I expect in my Inbox, then I have to scroll through tons of mail in my Spam folder which defeats the purpose of it in the first place. A simple way to search for something like "Shipping Confirmation Folder:Spam" would eliminate this severe drawback. This idea has been posted multiple times by others below, it is marked Reviewed, and then it is closed out so people can't even vote on it as a preference. I'm a paying customer of Yahoo Mail for about 10 years now, and if something like this can't be implemented I'm going to have to move on.

I've missed several important emails and suffered the embarrassment of acusing another party that they didn't return my email only to find out that the emails were in the spam folder.
I mistaking assumed that when I did a search through "All mail" that all all folders would be searched.
I strongly recommend that "all mail" searches should include the spam folder but if yahoo insists on not providing a way of searching through spam then at least make it clear that "All Mail" search is really "All mail except spam folder". I don't really trust your search tool anymore

Being force to manually search the spam folder is a royal pain, come on it can't be that difficult to add an advanced option to search just the spam folder while still excluding it from normal off-the-hip searches!

This is important. Some important emails have been getting sent to the spam folder while loads of spam make it to my inbox. I've missed a few sales and support emails because of this. I know creating an effective spam filter is hard, but at least give us the ability to search if something important was sent to the spam folder.
