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.

Yahoo spam filter not working property and cannot be trained to filter legitimate emails correct.

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.

Why are so many emails going to 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!!

And BTW they didn't go to Spam or anywhere else, some sinister filtering going on?

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

Others have described this already (but voting has been disabled), and yet NOTHING has been done. I get lots of emails from trusted contacts (those I have written to many times) in my Spam folder. I have marked them as "Not Spam" repeatedly, have even created filters to ensure their email addresses go to the Inbox, and yet they continue to land in Spam. I am so fed up as I have missed a few urgent emails because of this! What is going on??

Please stop designating my email as SPAM. I use it for business communications. Do not ask me to go to FB, Twitter or any other source. This problem needs to be fixed.

I have sent a email to someone but Yahoo have put the return answer to spam. Yahoo must not putting emails from conversation to spam.

Many of my important contacts are coming in as Spam. I click 'Not Spam' but many still repeatedly come in as spam. Yahoo needs to correct

STOP flagging every **** email I get as potential spam. I keep clicking "it's safe" to no avail.

STOP SENDING LEGIT EMAILS TO SPAM. Recently May 2022 ish; Yahoo began sending many non spam emails to our spam folders. Even messages that are replies to my emails. Emails from existing contacts etc. Very irritating. Fix the problem please.

I am sick and ******* tired of find emails SENT ONLY TO ME from actual people that you MORONS are marking as spam. YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING! Turn off ALL automatic spam rules and let me decide what is and what is not spam. ******* IDOTS!!!!!

Emails from regular contacts are randomly (not always) sent to my spam folder. I have clicked "Mark as not spam" on these emails and it moves that email to my inbox but it keeps happening WITH THE SAME EMAIL ADDRESSES ALREADY MARKED AS NOT SPAM.
NOTE: I exclusively check this email account through the Yahoo mail site or the Yahoo mail app, not through a third party client.
