    Currently when you create a filter to move [From]: John Doe to spam or to inbox, the filter doesn't work.

    Another example is I get emails from my mobile provider for messages and they're automatically moved put in the spam folder (in error) despite crating a filter [FROM]:@domain.com, it doesn't work.

    Only Gmail's filtering scheme is intelligent enough to filter properly based on the rules.

    Right now, users can accidently press or click on the unsubscribe button when known spam enters the inbox. To avoid this, allow users to remove the unsubscribe button from the option where it asks us to unsubscribe or report spam. Have the unsubscribe function as a separate button.

    spam block and delete still not working correctly, please fix... so very time consuming trying to block files only for them to pop back.. so can only delete them... irritating... and block list is not full either...

    Since the war in Ukraine started, I receive a lot of phishing which is delivered to my inbox even if I mark the respective emails as SPAM.

    Do you work for Russians?

    I'd like to block ALL INCOMING MAIL. Is there a way to do this?

  • Charlott Mince commented  ·   ·  Report

    Stop sending emails to the spam file that should not have been sent there. Let me do that. I have found emails that should have been my inbox. Do not do thinking for me, I'll do that. I'll will make that decision.

    Your news coverage is completely biased. And at the same time, you let all of these spam emails infiltrate subscribers' emails. Your subscribers have options to block and delete those emails, knowing good and well they never use the same email configurations as they continually send them. Sad thing is, you know exactly what you are doing!

    We can currently get rid of bulk mail in two ways: trash, or spam. We need a third flag: Scam.
    This immediately removes it from all folders, blocks the originating sender, and flags it as higher priority for investigation by yahoo for proper filtering/blocking and possible criminal prosecution.

    I have Unsubscribed and Blocked DonaldJTrump's solicitation emails for Save America. Today, October 13, I blocked him after blocking him just last week. Does the Unsubscribe option not work?

  • Christian Robert Fiederer commented  ·   ·  Report

    for a couple of weeks now daily getting up to 10 obvious spam mails in the inbox of my yahoo plus account. filters were better before, this is getting worse and doesn't justify the paid account

    when will it be fixed?

  • Ester Harrison commented  ·   ·  Report

    Spam and junk mail continue to get through into the inbox DESPITE blocking messages, daily adding them to the Spam folder, and creating filters.
    Yahoo you are currently failing terribly at filtering spam and junk email - this needs to be fixed!

  • Shelby Smith commented  ·   ·  Report

    FILTER SPAM EMAILS BETTER. THE SPAM USER IS CREATING NEW EMAILS WITH THE SAME SUBJECT INFO AND WILL NOT ALLOW US TO BLOCK THE NEW EMAIL ONLY PUT INTO THE SPAM FOLDER, ALLOW US TO BLOCK ALL SPAM EMAIL USERS AS WELL!!!!

  • David Nasralla commented  ·   ·  Report

    Most all of the spam that gets through yahoo's email filters has funky text encoding on the subject line making it almost impossible to filter. Rarely (if ever) do I have a legitimate email that does not have a plain text subject line. Camp Legeune spams are a great example with tons of emoji's and odd encodings in the subject line.

  • Melanie Jones commented  ·   ·  Report

    I keep getting spam email with addresses starting with "newsletters" but the domain keeps changing. They do go to spam but it annoys me to even see them. Allow me to block emails that start with a specific word so that they don't come to me at all.

  • olga molina commented  ·   ·  Report

    i don't like to accumulate unnecessary e-mail in my inbox and by not being able to delete them it bothers me, so all those functions are not active.

  • olga molina commented  ·   ·  Report

    pleaqse, my e-mail hasn't been working properly during the past week, it means i can not delete e-mail or spams all those buttons are not active. This is the first time that has ever happened.

    Yay!

    After over a decade of users begging Yahoo for the ability to block domains, which is far more useful for addressing spammers, the feature has finally been introduced.

    But it is limited to just three domains. Insanity.

    We also need .TLD blocking.

    Many Thanks.
