    If I block an email, Yahoo should derermine the actual sender and automatically block that contact and delete all future emails from that contact

  • Ken J Gerdes commented  ·   ·  Report

    I should be able to filter out spam emails that come from common addresses by deleting them automatically, and I can't do that. I always get spam from emails that begin with office@, and yet your filters don't even send those to Trash like they are supposed to. I'd rather they not go to Trash at all and just get deleted period.

    Is Yahoo trying to get rid of its mail users and shut down Yahoo mail ???

    1. The "Block senders" option is usually missing from the dropdown list and when it is there it is NOT working - it says "Failed to add blocked addresses"

    2. You allow too much spam to reach your servers.

    Why is it that some Spam mail items do not have an email address, this makes it hard to block like this one... **** My Wet ***** This Night - @Grab.my.Ass798... it's horrible & keeps coming up in my spam folder. Please make it mandatory that all email addresses to be shown. All I can do is keep deleting it, this is so sickening.

    I'm being hit with spam messages that only contain images of text. Allow us to block HTML code!!!

    Your filters don't work, because they hit me with freshly generated email addreses every couple of days!!!

  • Walter A Klein commented  ·   ·  Report

    The user interface is poor and confusing. The $5 month charge is ok - BUT - why no SPAN filter?? I get a dozen SPAM each day - obvious fake domains!

    Part of the issue may be that I have an old email migrated to AT&T which then outsourced to Yahoo? I now have a new Yahoo-only email and it works fine.

    Yahoo should block Junk BEFORE sending it to Junk folder for me to delete. Receiving literally 100's per day, often 1 per minute for several hours. Blocking only stops them for a day or two.

  • Alain P. commented  ·   ·  Report

    I’m sorry but if you don’t fix that problem before April 30 I quit Yahoo mail.

  • Alain P. commented  ·   ·  Report

    Your SPAM filter doesn’t work. Please fix it or I quit for gmail.

    The SPAM go to my junk mail folder. But when I search in more then 50 mails the one s not a Spam it’s pain. If you dont fix it by end off the month I close my account and I transfer to gmail.

    Sorry but you are not professonial to be continu with you.

  • Anthony Sturniolo commented  ·   ·  Report

    I get a lot of spam, usually from different senders using the same web address....."Spammer@samewebaddress.com". Right now I can identify this one sender as spam and I will not get emails from that "person" anymore but then they use another name - "spammer2@samewebaddress.com" - and so on and so on.

    I get emails from Norton, McAfee, CVS, myself!, Walmart, etc, etc, etc. all with different "names" but from the "samewebaddress".

    I have to block/identify each email. Lots of wasted time on my side by first identifying that it is a spam sender and then block/identify as spam each one. This doesn't stop the issue because it only identifies this one sender as spam. They change the "name" and continue to send me spam. Very annoying. I need help to block the "samewebaddress".

    If I could block all emails from a "samewebaddress.com" no matter who/what the spammer name is, I would eliminate 80% of my spam. .

    Please add this option to Yahoo Email.

    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?

  • Patricia A wilson commented  ·   ·  Report

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

  • sean franco commented  ·   ·  Report

    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

  • Wildwaverly commented  ·   ·  Report

    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.

  • Neal Monsour commented  ·   ·  Report

    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 ****.
