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 cannot "VOTE" on any of the ideas that I tried to click, regarding SPAM. I have TOOOOOO many emails going to Spam that is not Spam. I would just like to turn the filter OFF, rather than have to search the Spam folder. and I want the OLD version of YAHOO Mail

Several of the email my job recruiter sent me went straight to spam. One was a notification for pre-employment drug testing, another was explanation for my job offer, there was even an invitation for interview in there, and that's just what I was able to recover last night.
I was lucky to have sorted out the situation with my recruiter before my job was jeopardized but losing my drug test notification could have been detrimental for me. I have been job searching in the past several month, and now it makes me wonder what else has been lost in the spam filter.
Something is very wrong with your spam filter, one email from the same person on the same day could be spam while the other goes in the inbox. This is a serious issue for an email service, please fix this before it causes real problems for more people!!

For the last two years Yahoo has been directing emails sent to me to spam. Many of these are NOT spam but are of a political nature. I have been using the filter feature for the last two months to direct messages from the senders to my inbox. For the last two days the filter option has disappeared and I can no longer direct Yahoo how to send messages from certain senders to my inbox and NOT spam. The Yahoo system is broken and appears to be engaging in a form of censorship.

By the number of complaints it is very obvious that no one at Yahoo gives a **** about it users. STOP being so stupid Yahoo. Let the smarter people, the one who actually get the emails, decide what is spam and what is not spam. STOP TRYING TO THINK FOR US. You are not smart enough to think for me!

Yes I know that it is possible for a spam message to use the word "interview" but the risk of someone missing out on a potential employment opportunity is too great.

Please, please, please can we have the ability to turn off the junk mail folder. I am constantly missing emails as they have gone to junk email. I don't have any junk email going to the folder at all. Why can we not have the option to turn this off please? I see this has been a popular topic before but it said idea now closed so I couldn't vote for it, hence entering it as a new idea again.

Emails from contacts should not appear in spam

I am tired of emails I receive being identified as potential spam, especially those containing links to current news stories sent to me by friends. This is nothing but a prelude to censorship by another tech company to regulate the information we receive even on our email accounts. I don't want the Yahoo platform previewing my email using an AI interface. It's an invasion of my privacy rights and is another step towards a future none of us will like. I will be seeking another email provider if this continues.

I'm losing very important emails because I mark them as Unread to deal with them later. But meanwhile, Yahoo moves them from Inbox to Spam without me knowing. I've lost critical messages due to this. How can I turn this feature off and mark all Spam emails myself?

Why do you morons at Yahoo send incoming messages to my Spam folder when the email address exists in my contacts. We're getting ready to switch from a paid Yahoo account to another provider. You guys are worthless.

Need searching the spam folder! Some emails that are responses to my emails are sent to spam by the system and then when I do a find messages it does not look in the spam folder. Seems that the find messages should look in all folders.

stop spaming my real emails; thanks to this stupidity several of my accounts have been shut down because if i don't accept their emails then i can't use their service. i don't know who has gone ignorant as **** but i'm constantly finding things that i read and use on a regular basis thrown in there and i don't know about till well after the fact. i've lost out of two free meals because of this and no they won't replace them because they were already replacements so thank you for that and by thank i mean another word that starts with an F. i am so enjoying being screwed over by intenet companies here of lately because4 of someones disuse of their brains. let me guess millennials? get your head out of your ***.
