    Provided an icon that we can click to BLOCK unwanted unsolicited messages so that they can never again send an email to me.

    Block spam emails with common subject wording. I am constantly barraged with junk emails with same subject but different email address. Too tedious to block each one by address as it just comes back from a new address.

    Dear Yahoo!

    I have been a subscriber to your mail service for about 30 years. I have had minor problems in the past, especially in the early days, but I have never encountered anything like this.
    My SPAM directory is not working correctly. It would not be a big problem that it is full of real spam, but the daily amount of spam is beyond the limit. There are 25-30 letters a day, all from different addresses, from ladies 'nearby' making all sorts of offers. Because the addresses are different, I can't block them, so I have to check every day to see if any of them are genuine letters from my live partner. And it does, which is why I have turned to you: sometimes my son's (!) mail is being spammed, sometimes a business partner's.
    You understand that this is not right, don't you?
    I await your reply.

    Best regards:
    János Varga (vargajanos@yahoo.com)

    For the third time in as many days I've marked the same person not spam. How many times does it take? This isn't even an odd email, it's a government address ending in .gov. How difficult can it be to stop putting important mail in the spam folder when I've reported it several times already?

    I have blocked some emails I have received and they keep showing up

    I have already moved some organizations that I receive mail to alternative email providers.

    Some mail matching a filter is processed correctly.
    Some mail matching the same filter is in the inbox.
    Some mail matching the same filter is delivered to SPAM.
    It is almost as if you were intentionally driving users of the sponsored email to other providers.

    because they want you to upgrade and pay a monthly fee for it to be managed

  • [Deleted User] commented  ·   ·  Report

    Ban ALL phishing and spam email solicitations completely. Your filters are abysmal.

  • John Ralph commented  ·   ·  Report

    Obvious spam - including spam already in my spam folder - is now going to my inbox. Why did you stop checking for spam?

  • J. K. commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yahoo Mail - It baffles me that you cannot filter so much obvious Spam from my inbox. I can only conclude that Yahoo just doesn't care to make an effort. Bear in mind, this may result in Yahoo losing users.

    Please stop sending me junk to my inbox just to get mail plus!!!!!!!!!

    You truly are the worst for managing Advertisements which NOT only do you GET WRONG for INTEREST you effectively prevent 'EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT' of Adverts that I am willing and wish to see
    YOUR 'AI' ADVERTISEMENT MANAGEMENT is TRULY HOPELESS

  • SURESH SONI commented  ·   ·  Report

    Tried everything but still received Important Mails in Spam, even though it was marked as not spam.

    Filter also not working properly, even though emails were filtered still recieve mails in spam and inbox.

  • George Havenga commented  ·   ·  Report

    Block obvious spam messages. If the message contains "increase your **** size" I don't want it

  • Gina Gore commented  ·   ·  Report

    You DO NOT block spam anymore. I am constantly getting spam emails it is sickening.
