    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    I get the same spam emails every day, I report them as spam every day, and I get them again the next day. It's infuriating. Google mail blocks the spam and unsubscribes you automatically, Yahoo mail just literally does nothing. How is that a thing ?

  • Gene Pruse commented  ·   ·  Report

    I don't have an idea I just want to know where to find the block list? I apparently by accident put a subscription into the spam folder and now it is nowhere to be found and yahoo mail will not allow any contact with the accidentally email marked as spam????????

    How can i block/delete spam emails with no/blank sender address?

    and sometimes there is only a recipient address, which looks like an automated-generated@Yahoo.com address, which is sometimes mapped onto my Yahoo.co.uk address...

    why can't I block them all?

  • MaryAnne Percy-Needham commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am receiving spam daily from one particular sender and daily I block it. The problem is that, although the sender and content line doesn't change, the address does. There needs to be a way to block senders, not just addresses. And no, I do not open the email.

    Block the hundreds by the hour of the incessant fraudulent spam. And allow legitimate content in the inbox.
    I get no spam in my gmail! I have to forward yahoo mail to google to read it.

  • Wally W Waffles commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have filters to send mail from local community leaders to a specific folder. I recently missed a critical community meeting because my filters were ignored and several messages were sent to spam!

  • Duane B commented  ·   ·  Report

    How about a box we can check included with each e-mail to identify scam mails so that you can block them from ever showing up in the system again.

    I received an e-mail from admin@separticized.tech claiming that they are part of your "Yahoo Support Team" claiming my address received 42 complaints of my account.

    As far as I'm concerned, they're taking your name in vain.

    Getting over 200+ junk emails per day, some every 5 minutes. This has been going on for over a year.

  • Anne Bedard commented  ·   ·  Report

    Track and block obvious spam. Web Search suggested everyone is getting the Temu hourly emails, Renewal by Anderson, package Notification, Pron request, etc. If they are in the News, certainly Yahoo is aware these are Spam and should be able to block them from our email entirely.
