    More recently, some of my most important emails and replies to my emails have been going to spam, including meeting invites. If I promote an email to my inbox that was not spam, you would expect emails from that address to no longer go to spam!

    Your spam algorithm is appalling; please fix it.

    Hello, can you add a counter to the spam icon to get know a new message was received? Sometimes the email is not a spam, but falls into there. And missed some important email. Thank you.

    I am constantly finding important emails in my spam folder and don't know unless I physically check.

  • Mark Groh commented  ·   ·  Report

    Show the number of emails in the spam folder!
    Show the number of emails in the spam folder so I don't have to actually open it to find if there are any there. The old version had this - why not this new and supposedly improved?

    SPAM folder should show count of unread SPAM messages. This will inform the user that they need to check their SPAM folder to see if any there are any messages that were incorrectly identified as SPAM.

    I've gotten important emails sent into the spam folder, and it has been a pain, since some how those emails were critical.
    By having the actual number of emails in the spam folder, i can notice much more easily that new emails have been sent in there, rather than mouse hovering over to see the number. If i remember to mouse hover, i would just click the folder to open instead. Issue is, i don't remember to check the spam folder for important emails. And if that email takes time to arrive, i have to check inbox and spam over and over. Tedious.

    Inbox and Draft shows the number of emails in those folder. Please extend this feature to the Spam folder.

    Please do not tell me to mouse over the folder to display the number of messages in the folder.

    Show the user when there are messages in the Spam folder, and don't delete them automatically without first prompting the user. Thank you.

    Fix the spam folder, so that it doesn't empty by itself without prompting the user. Also, make it visible if there are items in the folder. Thanks.

    I would like to be able to see when there are unread messages in the Spam folder. Non-spam emails often slip in there, and I don't see them until much later because I have no reason to check the Spam folder. If it showed unread emails, it would prompt me to check it daily. Thanks!

    Spam folder does not update item count until the folder is actually slected.

    Since Yahoo has the habit of flagging my legit mail as spam (50% of what get flagged as spam is not), I need to know when I have new items in my spam folder. The count indicator does not update until after I've opened the folder for 10-20 seconds. So that means I need to manually check my spam box more often than my inbox so I don't miss mail.

    There is no indication that there are any emails in the Spam folder. It is necessary to open the folder to check. A simple number next to the spam heading would suffice, just like that used for the inbox, as it used to be.

    for my business I often get emails from custom domain sites and they go into the spam folder which does not have any type of notifications/reminders to check which has cost me loss of business as well as given my business a bad reputation for not responding.

  • veronica cogdill commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add notification even on spam as a reminder to check for items that were placed there instead of being sent to the in box.

  • Siew K commented  ·   ·  Report

    yahoo Spam folder needs to INDICATE the email count in the folder. Unlike gmail & outlook, yahoo Spam folder does NOT indicate. Users have no idea there are emails in the Spam folder to check if any are legit.

    I only email resumes from yahoo, I hardly use it because your system has a lot of spam and I should not have any spam.
    Please fix this issue.

    I actually like it better with the Spam folder not indicating it's content. Lately I have had one company sending about 10-15 illegal spams a day with different email addresses and domains making it impossible to stop. Since it's unlikely that a real mail will be in there I would rather not see a number to make me check everyday.

  • Wouter Hendrik Willem Groenink commented  ·   ·  Report

    At least indicate new spam messages since the last time the spam folder was visited. Or add a function reviewed spam (instead of read/unread) and a counter for that so it's clear there are new messages in the spam folder

  • Colin last name commented  ·   ·  Report

    Re-instate the spam counter. Having to hover over the spam folder 10 times a day is unacceptable. People email me wanting to buy stuff and it goes into my spam folder.

    Even thought I have spam filters saying emails from that address are not spam. I am losing money by not answering people quickly.

  • KEITH WATKINS commented  ·   ·  Report

    This rubbish new version could be slightly improved by showing the number of emails in the Spam and Deleted folders without having to hover over them

  • isis commented  ·   ·  Report

    There are several complaints about this, some saying that they have been 'reviewed', but there is no indication what is being done about this. This one says 'gathering feedback', but how about some feedback back so that we know what Yahoo plans to do about it?!

    I hate spam folders, especially ones that delete content on a regular basis without my control. We're entitled to all of our mail, even spam, and to use our own brains to interpret what's relevant to us and what isn't. Yahoo gets it wrong all too often, and even throws Yahoo Groups posts in the spam folder! Worse than that, sometimes emails that were in my inbox, that I've read already, are suddenly moved to the spam folder.

    Yes, we need to the number indicator back on the spam folder, so that important emails don't get deleted by Yahoo!
