Better effort on the part of Yahoo is needed to detect spam before letting it get through to users.

    Keep spam out of inbox ((big problem) AND spam folder.(50-100 a day). Gmail account never has inbox spam, and in the past two months NO spam even in the spam folder. DO WHATEVER GMAIL IS DOING!! BTW, the domains of the spam are now scrambled alphabet soup, thereby rendering the block 3 domains function useless.

    I'm getting 100 spams a day! What happened to the block function? Bring it back or do something even better.

    I'm having the same issue.
    One mailing list I'm on (with filters set to go to a particular folder) keeps going to SPAM.
    I've had to move this mailing list emails from spam 3 times in the past week.
    The issue I suspect is that they take note of people saying it's spam, but ignoring people saying that it's not.
    In this case there's probably a number of fake email addresses saying that it's spam to stop it going to those who want it.
    Another side of this issue is that their spam detection is broken.
    I know that they DON'T use a white list or safe list for each user (unlike Hotmail). If they did, this whole issue would be fixed.

    I agree that they should run the email through the user's filters BEFORE applying the spam check.

    Best wishes,
    Warwick

    Outlook, Gmail and even Apple. Uses basic authentication checks before email delivery. It's called SPF. Look it up. It rejects any emails that fail and are known to be spam. This needs to be a thing. My mailbox has over 1000 of spam/phishing emails a day. Which could have been prevented by BASIC of BASICS of authentication.

    Lately I've been getting spam from emails with very long addresses. I would like a way to filter all messages from address over 40 or so characters long into the spam folder.

    Too much spam is getting through! Fix it! Also, sometimes the spam folder will not delete spam with the trash can. Have to select delete all to manually delete.

    The spam On Yahoo is beyond ridiculous! I block senders , I block domains but still receive spam from those sources. Yahoo must be partners somehow with these spammers!

    I have used Yahoo mail in some form for 30+ years. To be fair in recent times it has been as a secondary address, but done. Not even that any more. Yahoo mail has become truly unusable. The spammers have completely defeated your filter and logging in is a pain **********. My account is now abandoned

    I was all set to watch the Super Bowl tonight on my NFL pass when lo and behold Yahoo's breaking news on my email shows who won. Of course I went to setting and unclicked it, but really stupid. Thanks again Yahoo for ruining my Sunday.

    Your "new" audio ad's are aweful... you keep it up and we will be switching to another email platform. Do advertisers really think we would be interested in their product after they just annoyed the sh*t out of us. Stop being Maggots!

    Hello, I have recently sent my tenant an email and although she directly replied to the email it seems to have gone to my junk mail. However, when she replied a second time the email has come to my inbox. Can someone please assist me to understand why this has occurred.
