    No, it doesn't help that you tell us where to manage spam. It has been done. You just let it through. And you still let through new email that dates itself a couple months back in the email list.

    Yahoo doesn't seem to realize how irritating it can be to repeatedly erase email through the last year.

    I get over 100 spam messages a day. Can you please implement a feature that allows us to block IP addresses? Also could you consider blocking any incoming email where the email address is hidden?

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Over the past few months it is like you have turned off the spam filtering. I used to get 1 or 2 sneaking through per month and now I get 20-30 per day. Even worse, a lot of the spam uses old dates so it tucks the spam into my mail list months in the past.

    This is seemingly an easy fix.

    Is the increased spamming intentional on your part? I can say that there is no way I will be paying you for the upgraded mail if you can't demonstrate basic spam handling in the current version.

    Wendy Debow is showing people's inboxes now- ANOTHER VERY OBVIOUS SCAM-with the subject talking about 'unpaid invoices'! YAHOO MAIL NEEDS TO BLOCK OUT AND REPORT ALL EMAILS FROM 'WENDY DEBOW' STARTING TODAY! PAY ATTENTION!

  • Tim Keesen commented  ·   ·  Report

    IT WOULD BE REALLY NICE IF A TAG AN EMAIL AS SPAM AND I WOULD NEVER GET THAT EMAIL AGAIN BUT THAT NEVER HAPPENS, I JUST GET MORE THAN I STARTED WITH. THE FILTER ON YAHOO IS TERRIBLE AND I KNOW OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND YET IT DOES NOT GET FIXED.

    Why is the algorithm so bad? It's so obvious, just by the random characters, that it's fake enough for good code to block.

    Yahoo spam filter is horrible. Apparently in the decades yahoo has existed, none of the geniuses working there have thought maybe emails that dont contain actual letter in the subject might be spam. Spam spam spam. Mark an email as spam and i still get spam from the same sender right to the inbox. Meanwhile, legit emails go straight to spam. This is why i have never and
    will never use yahoo as a primary email and for anything other than signing up for **** on the internet where I dont want them spamming my real email account.

    My idea is to have a block button on the email page, so I can block forever the people that keeps sending me emails that I don't want. Put it right beside the delete button.

    i would like to complain. i have received advertisement in my email client from capitol one. i advise you do not do that as that company is not trusted that is why when i received capitol one in the mail from my carrior it not possible to get in touch with agent before signing up. the call drops insteads of reaching an agent. some companies you can reach agent 1st before signing up to ask about it 1st but not that company they have designed different user are getting suckered into it so i suggest you do not advertise capitol one in the email client. some other company you advertise might be fine as they reputable but not capitol one. i suggest you do not advertise that particular one.

    your spam folder is not very reliable sometimes email from trusted site go in there there for i am expecting an email from them sometimes but that needs to be corrected. my antivirus can determine trusted sites sometimes but your email client does not get the message it coming from them. that needs to be corrected. and even from people cell phone can tell if it number that routes from somewere sometimes it not actuall person but you do not sometimes send person in email in junk folder instead not of one routed one from online so you need to get that corrected.

    I’m not getting emails from services I’ve subscribed to. They tell me I marked their email as spam or unsubscribed which I did not, and when they resubscribe, it still doesn’t come. Also, newsletters stop coming for some unknown reason. They’re not in Spam and I can’t fix via settings.

  • barbara A kroczak commented  ·   ·  Report

    Google does a great job of this. I mark an email as spam and I never see email from that person again. Why can't you do this too? What is the point of marking an email as spam in yahoo mail????I'm still being flooded with email from that person!!!

    Give the bulk block to trash back for spam and make it work. Listen to your users, we can go elsewhere for email.
