    Your documentation says that if I report an incoming email as spam it helps Yahoo "learn" and refine its spam detection algorithm. This is absolutely not true. ALL the spam I get (and report) follows such easily identifiable patterns that any human coder could easily recognize and filter. For example, Every email where the subject line has anything but plain text is spam (italics, bold, graphics, etc.)... For me, that rule is 100%. Even if your custom filtering rules were more flexible I could just program that myself. So, feedback: FIX THE SPAM REPORTING/FILTERING ALGO. It's broken, or doesn't even exist.

    I see countless complaints about spam, which are mainly ignored. Continuing to tell people to “mark each as spam”, is really infuriating. It’s your job to stop the spam, which is absolutely possible, because Google, and ICloud, don’t have this issue.

    I am beyond sick and tired of having to mark 6-8 emails EVERY SINGLE DAY as spam. Why can't you be like Gmail? I get ZERO spam with then.
    THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!

    Better spam filters needed. Why can't we block a domain?

  • Ken Bourne commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please stop all spam from the domain @chefly.com

    Please provide an option to disable the spam filter. I use Outlook and want ALL my mail delivered. I can deal with the spam in Outlook. It is a hassle constantly checking the Yahoo website to see what messages Yahoo is hiding.

    Since this awful separation of my inbox into tabs (so uuughhh) I get tons of SPAM emails in all the folders as well as my primary email. Can we just have the old system that was genius at catching spam and all my emails were in one place. More clicking is never better UX.

    mailing list is incorrectly classified as spam despite my filter to move it to folder. Problem since March 14 2024.

    items in spam
    WHY is it that I mark something as NOT SPAM and it KEEPS coming up in the spam??????? One in particular has to do with my bank!!! I even added it to my contacts and NOTHING seems to help. There are others that I would not have marked as SPAM that continually are in spam! WHY????? You need to FIX THIS ASAP!!! I am tired of having to check SPAM for things that should be in my INBOX!!!!!!!!!! By the way I am signed in so why would I have to sign in again?

    in spite of marking my legitimate mails as not spam ( a few mails even hundred times), yahoo keeps putting those in spam folder. you do need serious rethinking, else I would have no option but to stop using yahoo altogether. At least remember if user has marked some sender as not spam. Mails from my kids school keep getting in spam folder. my daughters college applications are mostly going into spam, even if I mark these as not spam. who are coding such logics?

    Please add the sender block icon to my Yahoo email, don't remove the block sender icon from there.
    Dont remove

    STOP ALL MAIL FILTERING I WILL DECIDE WHAT IS SPAM AND TRASH...NOT YOU, YOU ALWAYS GET IT WRONG ANYWAY. I USE OUTLOOK TO GET MY MAIL. YOUR FILTERING JUST MAKES ME TAKE TIME TO LOG IN AND CHECK SPAM AND TRASH. YOU ALWAYS PUT IMPORTANT STUFF IN THOSE FOLDERS. ITS A GIANT PAIN IT THE ***. STOP IT ******

  • Vijay Sharma commented  ·   ·  Report

    I request you several times not to remove the block sender email icon, but the Yahoo team every week removes this icon from my account. WHY ...???
