    Block all incoming SPAM that contains "CASINO" or "SPINS" or "SLOTS" or "DEPOSIT BONUS" in the title - I am sick of them. Getting up to 30 a day.

    Consider adding a feature to "Blocked Addresses" which sends back to the SPAM sender a message indicating the email is undeliverable and no longer valid. Split this feature into two parts: 1) block an entire email address: username and domain and 2) block just the domain. This would allow the end user (SPAM email recipient) to decide whether they want to appear as a dead email address to an individual sending from a SPAM email address or whether they want to appear as a dead email address to an entire domain of potential SPAM email senders. This approach would not be unethical because it is the SPAM email recipient deciding which email addresses or entire email domains they no longer wish to receive email from by appearing to be a dead email address. Over time, this capability could motivate the SPAM senders and their systems to delete undeliverable email addresses from their lists as they receive dead email address response messages to their unsolicited SPAM. This would be much more effective than merely marking email as "SPAM". It could also significantly reduce the amount of bogus email traffic that Yahoo has to deal with on a daily basis. If this was implemented across the entire email industry, it would quickly shut down the spammers as their targets of opportunity dried up with billions of undeliverable email messages.

    Please stop putting emails into spam. I do not need you to decide what's spam. Every week, you put certain emails in spam and I say NOT SPAM, but you still do it every week. Please just send all my emails to my inbox and let me determine what's spam. Thanks.

    Hackers manage to bypass your format and post spam messages to my inbox with no return address. I cannot block them. Today I got an email from Siirius XM (spelled that way), stating that my membership has expired. Please find out how they are deceiving your program.

    The recent change to the user interface for Rogers yahoo mail has made my email experience much worse. The amount of space now taken up by all the banners leaves very little screen space for seeing and reading email. So many banners: (a) the banner for Home Mail News Finance... (b) the banner for ROGERS | yahoo! [find messages, docs..] (c) banner for Archive, Move, Delete, Spam ... (d) the banner for Rogers Media Visit site. Please allow users to reduce or not show each of these banners, especially (a) and (d).

    When I open the Yahoo Mail app (on iPad) now an ad pops up and covers the entire screen. There is no way to close it or x out of it, so I can no longer access my email using the app. It makes the app totally useless. This started after the most recent update to the app.

    If you pay, you’ll get the exact same amount of spam. Ask anybody who pays, there’s 1000 complaints on this useless forum.

    Get it together, I am not paying $6.99 a month to do your job which is to BLOCK SPAM! What the actual F?! I've used yahoo for over 25 years, this is a disgrace!

  • Dr T :} Tania H Reese, PhD commented  ·   ·  Report

    Why should anyone trust Yahoo a 2nd time when they cannot get the account correct and then doesn't REFUND all the FRAUDULENT ERRONEOUS $$ paid!!!!!!!

  • Dr T :} Tania H Reese, PhD commented  ·   ·  Report

    STOP INVASIVE POP UP When Yahoo cannot get the account correct why should anyone trust them again!!! Wish I could go back and maybe I could get all my $$$ back. !!!!

  • Dr T :} Tania H Reese, PhD commented  ·   ·  Report

    IT SUCKS that I cannot view airline reservations and NUMBER OF OTHER IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPID LITTLE ADVERTISEMENT FOR PLUS MAIL.

    I tried that stupid thing once and for 6 months or more you charged for it WHEN IT WAS ON THE WRONG BLOODY ACCOUNT!
    I had to pull teeth to get some of the $$ back.

    I WILL NOT DO THAT AGAIN -- even numerous calls to your "help Center" (Hahaha) did not get ANY results. That stupid little pop-up is a pain in the BUTT.

    It is an infringement on my ability to see communications and it SUCKS!!!!!!!

  • T STEPHENS commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is not an idea. Which genius in Yahoo decided to come up with the great idea to extort email users by simply allowing, or dare say, even sending the unwanted ads themselves to move to a paid "premium" model?? I am preparing a brief to the FTC on this action.

  • David Prince commented  ·   ·  Report

    Do not allow scam/virus ridden ads to post in my inbox. You have made it so I cannot use my ad removal program so that means that it is now your responsibility to keep my inbox clean of ads that are infected. I use currently ATT.

    No one wants to be Scammed, and even with the best filter systems today with AI being used by criminals to attack their victims 24/7 SCAM & PHISHING emails are getting through. not just once but often, Some Patterns are easy for past victims to recognize and report to help your system Quickly identify and eliminate threats. A SCAM button would improve your system for every user in all your system.

  • Christopher A Eilertsen commented  ·   ·  Report

    You have a Spam button. You sholud also add a SCAM button! This will help to Identify and contain The Criminals trying to SCAM your customers.
