    Please allow the block key to block spam mails in both (yahoo for windows and Yahoo for Android phones).

    Yahoo is the worst re spam. Hundreds coming through every day, unlike gmail, Comcast etc. Come on Yahoo, get your spam filters working and effective. You've made yahoo mail essentially useless.

    need to block all emails starting with renter-info

    In 22 years as a Yahoo! customer, the viral SPAMMER "22222746@offer**-zoqloq.com" is the most abusive in volume and persistence by orders of magnitude. The "**" are the 2 digits that change after blocking. If there was a way to use a wildcard for these variable URLs that might help. Banning this spammer would be even better.

    My emails get sent over and over again without my sending them.
    This is very annoying to me and to the people on my list.
    This needs to be fixed.

  • [Deleted User] commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please, please make your "Block" option work. I keep getting sexual spam emails I never asked for. I'm 73 years old. Blocking the senders address doesn't stop the filth.

    From 10:00 A.M. this morning until 7:00 P.M. this evening, I have received a total of 594 SPAM MAIL in my SPAM folder. Now I have to look through that to see if anything that is NOT spam is in need to be sent back to my in box. I'm a 76 year old Disabled Vietnam Veteran and not very good at the internet. What I do know is that Yahoo, doesn't care, if they did they would make it easier to block this garbage, One last thing, don't bother asking for a reply, you won't get one.

    When I choose to block/delete the spam folder, I REALLY want to BLOCK/DELETE the spam folder - Error message appears, spam stays - FIX IT

  • Larry commented  ·   ·  Report

    Paying for customer support is a ******* ******** joke.

    All I wanted to do was ask why I am getting 5-10 spam emails every day and why the spam filter is NOT blocking them when the emails are for eample:

    𝖫𝖾 𝖢𝗋𝖾𝗎𝗌𝖾𝗍 𝖲𝗎𝗋𝗉𝗋𝗂𝗌𝖾 <support@tghsofjpa.selekkt.com>

    To me that should be easy to recognize as spam.

    I guess yahoo just isn't as good as google

    I'm not paying for premium customer service and do not have a twit account. STOP marking emails with addresses in my address book as spam and stop rejecting them. You continue to mark emails as spam when I repeatedly mark them as not spam AND have them in my address book. Some are rejected outright. You don't seem to have any problem with making sure all of the spam gets through. Fix your darned algorithm. And make customer service available to all who use your product. It's a subpar product and should not require paid support.

  • Steve Dragonette commented  ·   ·  Report

    Isn't your spam filtering supposed to learn from marking things not spam? I get regular emails from my software and 90% of them land in my Inbox, 10% in spam folder. Identical emails. I have literally marked the same email not spam a thousand+ times and they still get filtered. If you aren't going to teach your filter to learn by marking not spam, at least provide the decency to let us specify some email addresses to never filter to spam. These aren't just random emails, they are important customer updates that I can't afford to lose and I shouldn't have to spend this much time fishing around my spam folder to retrieve them.

    Yahoo & AOL, stop telling us to click on unsubscribe links in obvious phishing emails. These links can be malicious, so do the needful and listen to your customers.... UPDATE THE SPAM BLOCKING FEATURES AS SO MANY HAVE REQUESTED AND ASKED FOR!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Earl Knutson commented  ·   ·  Report

    Today I received 28 emails, of which 26 were solicitations of one sort or another. I'm disgusted with this. I question why I'm paying $5 a month for this service.

  • Brian H commented  ·   ·  Report

    Based on all the spam emails I have been getting lately, along with the constant barrage of advertisements trying to get me to sign up for Yahoo's subscription mail service, it sure is suspicious that Yahoo is either inept, or intentionally failing to block spam mail in order to push people to sign up for a subscription that supposedly will do a better job of blocking this garbage. Just a thought, but tired of what appears to be a complete lack of effort by Yahoo to block spam mail. It should be easier for Yahoo to see this trash and get rid of it.

    Spam! Spam! Spam!
    I started receiving a tremendous amount of spam over the last month or so. What's going on?

  • Donald Carnahan commented  ·   ·  Report

    I can't get what comes to my inbox to stay in spam. I block all junk mail senders, but they send me 1,000 per day....I want this to stop!
    Many times I click unsubscribe, but they tell me after ten days and in the mean time they send 5,000 more of the same ****!

  • Ellen McCain commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yahoo Mail began about 6 months ago marking incoming emails from organizations with which I have subscriptions as Spam. Also marking political organization email as Spam randomly (including mail from elected representative official mail accounts). Is this a feature or a bug?
