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.

    What the **** Yahoo?!!! I'm losing business here!!! This is bull. I will be switching out very shortly. This is too much ****.

    I keep missing important emails because they're going to my Spam folder, even after flagging them "Not Spam", adding the sender to my contacts list and receiving multiple emails from the same address previously! This is beyond a joke now!!

    Me too. Contacts I have added to my contacts and physically moved several times from the spam folder keep going to spam.

    Emails from my husband's work account have all ended up in my Spam folder for the last week. They never did before. I have marked them Not Spam, I have added the address and domain name to my filters, and it still happens every time.

    Many important emails are ending up in my spam filter. Since I now have to routinely check this, it makes the function of the filter redundant. I have tried to bypass the filter by adding a rule that sends anything containing the '@' character to my inbox but emails are still ending up in my spam folder. It seems that Yahoo applies spam filtering before it runs user rules. If so, this should be changed.

    Consistently, for the past couple months, I've had emails going to Spam. These are emails from contacts who regularly have reached out to me over the years; and suddenly, for some reason, they're going to Spam. Is there anything that can be done to rectify this?

  • Sunil Matta commented  ·   ·  Report

    Recently, your spam filters are putting legitimate emails into the SPAM folder. Even from email ids I have communicated with in the past!!! Why did this change all of a sudden??

    Emails from people in my contacts are going to spam. STOP!
    Either allow a white-list to be created and/or stop sending emails from known contacts to spam.

    Last 10 days too many known and trusted for years addresses with daily usage, go to spams. Veeery annoying!

    I run a non-profit that works with schools and receive a lot of pictures from those schools. I also send out quite a few mass emailers. My messages keep getting marked as spam. Also, existing contacts that send me email have recently started showing up in my spam box or get bounced back. How do I remedy this?

  • Di Parfitt commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have been having this problem also. I have missed 3 really important emails this week. All from senders that are in my contacts and that I have had emails from for years. One is my husband's email, we used to exchange emails all the time, now I've told him not to bother. I too have used the not spam facility but does not work. I now have to trawl through my SPAM folder as well as my inbox in case I miss something. I can't find anything on why or how to stop it. Yours is the first reference to it I have found.

    same thing happened to us as small business users, all incoming emails are flagged as spam, although the senders are in our contact list and we have been sending emails back and forth for years. Flagging the emails as not spams doesn't work too, next emails from the same senders still go straight to spam folders.

    Where those idiotic "spam settings" are coming from? Why some garbage software "decides" for me what is spam and what is not??????

  • Raymond Frenkel commented  ·   ·  Report

    I use a pop mail client (Outlook) and only emails in the inbox get brought down using pop so if an email is filtered to the spam folder I never see it unless I open Yahoo Mail in a browser and check the spam folder. I need the ability to turn off the spam filter and let all emails pop down to Outlook.

    If a sender is already part of the contacts, it shouldn't be marked as spam.

  • Zengbiao Li commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please stop sending emails from our long-time clients into spam folder. A simple way is to recognize the email legitimate domains.

  • Aki Tillonen commented  ·   ·  Report

    Spam: email answers from people I have written to go into the spam folder!! pls disable this!
