    If someone says I sent you the details in an email several months ago, there is no way to filter the SPAM folder to find it or any e-mail messages in the Spam Folder at all. That is a serious f law in Yahoo mail. Enough to make my company move off of e-mail via YAHOO.com. I am not alone. Can you afford to loose customers?

    I would like to delete all spam at once. Not 100 at a time. I get more than a 100 a day.
    thank you

    why do I have a spam folder??? every singe day I get 30 emails that should be in spam not regular email. WHY????????

  • Michael Gividen commented  ·   ·  Report

    I get obvious phishing that would appear to be easy to spot and clean up. Usually it is big long email addresses that are made up of random numbers and letters...

  • Roy Van Cleave commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yahoo SPAM filters do not work, need to be able to block spam by domain, not address. Spammers just change addresses and send spam as HTML so Yahoo can not stop with their own filters! Need to fix!

  • Jeffrey L Miller commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am having a pandemic of unwanted emails. 100+ a day. I really want to Delete these emails as a batch. Your technician told me that I have too many blocked emails that will not allow me to do batch blocking.

    I an drowning in bad emails. I've got to find a way to manage such a large amount of emails. PLEASE HELP ME. This is a CRISES for me.

    Thank you, Jeff

    Please consider adding the "SENDER'S E-MAIL ADDRESS" to the in-box of new messages. This would help in identifying "SPAM" and "SCAMS" without having to go to the SPAM folder. Thanks.

    Every freaking day: Spammer from "Security Team" and header "You're about to permanently delete all your contact(s)"
    Please provide a way to never see this stuff again. I don't want it in spam, you know it's spam and use your technology to block this ****.

    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.

  • ice castle commented  ·   ·  Report

    let my spam go to my account so i can pick if its spam or not

  • [Deleted User] commented  ·   ·  Report

    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

  • Kim Bostrom commented  ·   ·  Report

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

  • Kim Bostrom commented  ·   ·  Report

    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.

  • Sarah Farr commented  ·   ·  Report

    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
