    Brian,
    it needs to go to spam folder.
    I am CONTINUALLY marking as "not spam" mailing list emails. Some of those emails were going to my Inbox for years without issue.

    Rivi,
    the first thing to do is run a reputable anti virus program on your system to clear out any spyware.
    The next is to change your password.
    After that, check the settings for alternate or emergency email contact.

    I'm using the old Yahoo mail format and it's available there.

    Allen, auto trashing spam is a bad idea.
    Yahoo's spam filter is so **** that it puts legitimate emails (some which have been going to my inbox for YEARS) into spam.
    I am constantly marking legitimate emails (many are in my filters) as "not spam".

    These seem to be bi-passing security and going directly into my inbox. I don't frequent these sites. I would like Yahoo to detect them sooner and deal with it.

    the hackers have found a way to send all their ads by blocking the spam button. What can yu do about that?

  • Pat Patane commented  ·   ·  Report

    Need to be able to delete junk emails without them going to the trash folder to have to be deleted again! Redundant, frustrating and a waste of time! And why do I have to pay to get answers to questions like this? Yahoo is Not customer satisfaction oriented

    Please stop deleting random months of my emails.

    Why am I seeing the same addresses after I put report them as spam; they show up every single day 40 to 50 of them. Yes, they are in junk, yes they are spam, but still i do not want to see them at all.

  • Sunday Smith Trimble commented  ·   ·  Report

    I do not want to see the same junk mail twice a day 40 to 50!!! They are spam in junk, but still appear new twice a day. I do not want to see them.

  • Allen commented  ·   ·  Report

    I want you to create a filtering system that uses key words to automatically TRASH the spam.

  • Allen commented  ·   ·  Report

    SPAM is out of control!
    Today I received over 200 spam emails.
    Please tell us HOW to use your system to block the spam.
    Very angering!

  • Brian Schaff commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have followed your ideas and I believe that the spam filter is working a bit better. I first tell all spam that is coming to my inbox to unsubscribe and then I go back and mark it as spam. I do see that many spam emails are going directly into my spam folder now. Automatically. However, like there are some other people that say, if you know there are spam why should we even see them at all? Don’t even show them in Spam folder.

  • Martin Foltyn commented  ·   ·  Report
