I mistakenly marked an e-mail as Spam
I accidently marked an e-mail as Spam and it wasn't Spam. What can I do? I want to keep receiving those e-mails and I'm afraid I won't now. Please help!!!

The best way to resolve this is to mark the emails as “Not Spam”, that way you can train the spam filter to better identify important emails in the future. Also if you use a mobile device or email client to access your mail over IMAP, please check the Spam filters in that application, to make sure it’s not marking important emails as spam.

I've been using yahoo mail for over 15 years now. Since last few months, yahoo is marking almost all the important messages as spam. Even if they are from legit banks, organizations almost every single thing is being marked as spam. IT's like if I'm waiting for a mail from some company, I'll search it in spam. Please correct this as it is affecting the very purpose of using yahoo mail as official mail account.

STOP with the PINK BANNER telling me you think my contacts are spam! Over & over you pick the same contacts & I keep telling you they are not spam but that obviously does not work. Your spam filters are awful! I'm constantly pulling messages out of my spam folder that are not spam and pulling spam out of my inbox that should not be there! FIX YOUR SPAM FILTERS!!

Every time others have asked to to show the number of unread emails in the SPAM folder you claimed to have reviewed the "idea" and closed the idea without doing anything at all. I'm sick and tired of you repeatedly putting emails from my Local Authority in my Spam folder despite me marking them as Not Spam or moving to Inbox, yet you continue to put them in Spam. I've now had to create a filter to hopefully fix my problem. Fix your system and show the count in the Spam folder so emails aren't inadvertently missed, is it really that difficult or is it you just don't care.

Please fix the spam filter! It seems to know when I'm waiting on an important email and then sends it straight to the spam folder. Even contacts and people who I send/receive emails from regularly (50% of stuff from my wife) goes to the spam folder. At the very least please allow the user to turn off the spam filter. This is not just me saying this, there are heaps of videos on YouTube trying to get around the spam filter that doesn't work.
Please Please Please fix this -

Your spam is working properly and send legitimate emails to spam even though I have set up the filter box and/or specify sender NOT spam.

Stop passing valid emails to Spam despite the originator being entered as a contact, there being a send all messages to inbox filter, and previous emails from the originator being marked as spam..

More and more of my emails are going into the spam folder every day! What's going on??? Marking them as "Not Spam" isn't doing any good. They still go into the spam folder. I'm having to put filters on half my email senders and it's getting worse. I see that others are having the same issue but their comments are closed. How long has this been going on? I'm constantly checking my spam folder because more emails are going there than in my inbox.

Replies to emails that I send out are being sent to Spam. This always occurs if the receiver is not in my contacts list, and maybe 10% of the time if the receiver IS on my contacts list.
This should not be the case at all.

Emails received from those on my contact list (That i have personally added) are being sent to Spam. Emails from my contacts that arrive at my inbox are often suggested to be spam.
Please fix this. I added the contact as a contact for a reason. It is NOT SPAM!!

I never know when Yahoo mail will FAIL TO DELIVER emails sent to me.
This is beyond infuriating. It happened with potential landlords TWICE and now I am not getting my sign up email from truth social. WHY? -

last month a new spam filter started bloking all mail forwarded from another account. I have an account with my former university called email for life - never have to change email as it will forward it to whatever service you are now on. Not all my mail goes to that acocunt. But all that does now goes to junk. Gmail, comcast and others have a simple option to turn off spam filter for someone not wanting mail screened. yahoo does not. it is needed now. meanwhile i will be changing email providers.

Important work emails have suddenly started to go into my spam folder. I mark them not spam, and they still go into the folder. Incredibly annoying and potentially costly if I don't check my spam folder every day. I am thinking of changing to a different provider
