    Please provide an option to disable the spam filter. I use Outlook and want ALL my mail delivered. I can deal with the spam in Outlook. It is a hassle constantly checking the Yahoo website to see what messages Yahoo is hiding.

    Since this awful separation of my inbox into tabs (so uuughhh) I get tons of SPAM emails in all the folders as well as my primary email. Can we just have the old system that was genius at catching spam and all my emails were in one place. More clicking is never better UX.

    mailing list is incorrectly classified as spam despite my filter to move it to folder. Problem since March 14 2024.

    items in spam
    WHY is it that I mark something as NOT SPAM and it KEEPS coming up in the spam??????? One in particular has to do with my bank!!! I even added it to my contacts and NOTHING seems to help. There are others that I would not have marked as SPAM that continually are in spam! WHY????? You need to FIX THIS ASAP!!! I am tired of having to check SPAM for things that should be in my INBOX!!!!!!!!!! By the way I am signed in so why would I have to sign in again?

    in spite of marking my legitimate mails as not spam ( a few mails even hundred times), yahoo keeps putting those in spam folder. you do need serious rethinking, else I would have no option but to stop using yahoo altogether. At least remember if user has marked some sender as not spam. Mails from my kids school keep getting in spam folder. my daughters college applications are mostly going into spam, even if I mark these as not spam. who are coding such logics?

    Please add the sender block icon to my Yahoo email, don't remove the block sender icon from there.
    Dont remove

    STOP ALL MAIL FILTERING I WILL DECIDE WHAT IS SPAM AND TRASH...NOT YOU, YOU ALWAYS GET IT WRONG ANYWAY. I USE OUTLOOK TO GET MY MAIL. YOUR FILTERING JUST MAKES ME TAKE TIME TO LOG IN AND CHECK SPAM AND TRASH. YOU ALWAYS PUT IMPORTANT STUFF IN THOSE FOLDERS. ITS A GIANT PAIN IT THE ***. STOP IT ******

  • Vijay Sharma commented  ·   ·  Report

    I request you several times not to remove the block sender email icon, but the Yahoo team every week removes this icon from my account. WHY ...???

  • Vijay Sharma commented  ·   ·  Report

    don't remove the block sender icon from my Yahoo email.

    Please block such messages in my inbox which are not my intention, today I have deleted about 26000 such messages.

    I will stop using yahoo mail if this isn't fixed. I've had the account a long time, but I'm really tired of all the spam.

  • brent crouch commented  ·   ·  Report

    If a user specifically marks an email address as SPAM, keep it out of the Inbox. Seems like a very reasonable request. I am considering moving to another site because I see twice as much SPAM in my Inbox and legit emails and I'm really tired of it

  • Ariana Progri commented  ·   ·  Report

    I receive a lot of spam, even after I have blocked the senders I still receive mail from them. I'll stop using yahoomail altogether if this doesn't stop. It is extremely annoying

  • joman diec commented  ·   ·  Report

    The Spam filter is an absolute piece of ****!
    Despite me constantly opening and reading emails from a specific domain name, the filter still filtered a very important email from that domain into the spam folder which I didn't check into until two weeks later.

    What the **** is the point of having a filter if I'll have to constantly check the spam folder to make sure nothing important got placed into it.

    Absolute garbage work by a garbage programmer from a garbage company.

    I feel like yahoo is censoring when I constantly find emails in my spam that I have added to my contacts to keep them out of spam. I finally gave up on some newsletters coming to coming and have changed them to my gmail, don't seem to be having the problem there. One particular contact, every time I opened to read, yahoo asked me if it is safe. If I have add to my contacts, why does yahoo feel it needs to keep asking me if it is safe. All the contacts I am having problems are from conservatives, hmmmmm. interesting. Or maybe not.

  • Tina Scarpaci commented  ·   ·  Report

    My idea would be for Yahoo to get more security. I have ad blocker, malware protection, etc. and every week my email and password is getting hacked. This is Yahoo's fault! You are letting people in, I have never in my life gone to the Dark Web.
