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.

Please stop purposely sending the White House emails I am subscribed to into my Spam folder.
I see that it is done all of the time. I can go to one of them in the Spam folder and mark it as "Not Spam" and days later it will be sent again into my Spam folder. I find that to be pretty offensive that a massive Mail company would try to undermine the President's administration in that way. It that an Antitrust offense?

I use a service called Sneakemail. You create a unique address for each company you give your address to. They act as an intermediary, so the company doesn't get my real address. This worked for years, but now almost all emails coming through Sneakemail go to my spam folder. It's extremely frustrating. You don't need to whitelist Sneakemail, but you absolutely need to stop blacklisting them just because of the domain it's coming from!

Not an idea, But why since about Feb yahoo has randomly sent my desired E mail to the spam folder and reports to the sender that it was spam! Such as USPS, credit card statements, other billing and mail from i/o groups. But have noted very few of the true spam offering **** for sale get sent to spam. Even clicking not spam make a difference apparently as the good keeps going into spam. Been using yahoo mail for 20 + years, keep this up and I will be leaving. Do not know where since I do like yahoo even with your left wing bias, but diverting my good Email is a killer.

Why should I have to tell you twice that a sender is not spam but actually critically important communication to me?

Some of my regular emails continue going to spam folder despite restoring them to the inbox multiple times from the spam folder - is there any way that this can be corrected?

Every time work emails go into spam I select them and click "Not Spam", next time I get one it goes into spam. I select it and click "Not Spam" but the next day it's back in spam again. Why wont it work?

If we click not spam, isn't it right that future messages coming from that website or domain should not be considered as not spam? Why is it that the future emails that we marked as not spam still go to spam?

The spam filter sent an email to my Spam folder with my "personal name" in the heading address. I was looking out for it for a couple of weeks and at the last moment, thought to look for it in the Spam folder!!

1) for the past 2 days, Yahoo has chosen to direct nearly all SPAM email to my inbox, and I want the situation corrected. 2) for the past 2 days, notifications I receive daily from a specific website have NOT reached my inbox, despite me sending an inquiry to the website asking to have my email address verified with them. due to #1, I suspect Yahoo is the culprit. 3) I have noticed-and read similar comments from other Yahoo news readers-that Yahoo appears to be selectively excluding some of their-and my-posts once we post them: so is Yahoo censoring comments based on political bias? This, also has to stop!

On several occasions "not spam" does not work, and I am not able to move the email to anywhere.
