    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.

    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.

  • Adrian Silaghi commented  ·   ·  Report

    Since yesterday, I can no longer filter e-mails from the Spam category. Before, I could select them to automatically go to the Trash. Why does this option no longer exist? Why should my spam file be filled with nonsense? There are situations when I receive e-mails directly in Spam and they are important e-mails. Instead, 99% are garbage.

    I cannot receive the code sent to my yahoo account to reset my microsoft account's password. My span folder is empty. I've been trying to receive the code for months already.

    Instead of blocking e-mail addresses! Why not allow blocking the name of the company for instant. Harbor Freight send me multiplied letters every day. I block them, but still get them. Because the e-mail address changes.

  • Richard Martin commented  ·   ·  Report

    I don't mind ads but Yahoo doesn't seem to have any oversight on these. I get daily spam/phishing ads about a MacAfee license. As its an ad I can't block it but why does Yahoo not police this better? I'm afraid you are letting the side down here.

    Spam is killing me. I need to leave after 30 years with Yahoo!

    Why doesn't "block email" work? I block the sender, yet I still get emails every day from them..
