How can we improve New Mail?

97 spam emails on a Sunday!!!!!!!!

Better effort on the part of Yahoo is needed to detect spam before letting it get through to users.

    Listening???? They are not even going to read this. They are going to ignore you, just like they do everyone else.

    Hi. I would thoroughly recommend that Spam mail that repeatedly arrives in the the Spam folder ( which means it's working) be stopped from arriving in the account completely. ie. not even getting into the Spam folder. If the filters that the user can set, as I have, were run past the Spam folder they could be also sent directly to the deleted items. The problem is for me and I'm sure for many is that if my Spam folder keeps receiving hundreds of messages each day, usually from the same senders or domains it makes it really painful to have to look for anything important that may have landed there that isn't Spam.

    To be brief, I suggest that the user Filters we can set also be enabled to remove messages from the Spam folder! Thus to reduce the volume of Spam messages enormously! This would only require the Spam folder to be included in the Filters actions.

    Thanks for listening.

    Because Yahoo is being paid by the spammers, that’s why they ignore all of our complaints.

    Yahoo needs a better way to control spam. Give us the option to auto-delete anything we deem to be spam. I don't mean just send it to trash; I mean delete it without ever seeing it. I don't need to see another email from onmicrosoft.com or any of its variations.

    Fix the "Block Senders" thing, so I do not have to block the same ones week to week or day to day

    How are these even getting through Yahoo! with an @att.com address????

    I am getting a TON of SPAM. I can't create enough filters to handle it all! I practice all kinds of email hygiene, and still the SPAM comes through.
    Yes, I tag and send to you each and every message as SPAM.
    Also, now the SPAM messages are sent as images or screen captures that are not recognized as text and cannot be filtered: please find a solution to this.

    Yahoo needs to update its spam filtering technology. Emails that are clearly spam get to my inbox every single day. See examples of email addresses below. It doesn't matter how much I mark as Spam, it never improves. This doesn't happen on other platforms.

    PLEASE FIX your SPAM logistics. I am getting to many spam emails every day, almost every hour for no reason. You need to BLOCK these known spam sender id's for ALL YAHOO MAIL! I should be able to block sender IDS by partial ids, example: *funnyguy*.com, *@didjd*.net
    none of my other emails in google or aol get the high number that yahoo allows .. fix this please

    I have used Yahoo! email for years and I do not have plans to leave, but I also have a Gmail account. My gmail gets almost no spam, but my yahoo gets a ton of spam. Over 50% of my yahoo emails are spam. What can you do about this?

  • Dawn P Dominic commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is more than any current ideas relating to the excessive numbers of spam that uses auto generated throw away addresses. So definitely not related to the '97 emails on a Sunday' entry!!!

    This is about providing spam management tools in my yahoo account settings function, and asking for automation to help me with that.

  • Dawn P Dominic commented  ·   ·  Report

    You incorrectly lumped my idea in with another unrelated idea, Why?
    Please address my idea individually.

    I need a better selection criteria to delete en masse, several and individual spam addresses in the blocked/deleted spam list in Yahoo settings; or make the list more than 1000 entries ; or provide an auto periodic (based on time or quantity) delete function to manage number of entries in the blocked/deketed spam table.

    This is s functional change requirement not an educational request for help.

    det kan ikke passe at yahoo.com hele tiden laver om på hvordan man automatisk kan

    det kan ikke passe at yahoo.com hele tiden laver om på hvordan man automatisk kan blockere spam mails og tilbage til manuelt blockering
