Welcome. How can we improve the New Yahoo Mail?

← New Yahoo Mail
'Return the BLOCK and DELETE feature to the spam folder' has been merged into this idea

Block sender

Yahoo Mail recently removed the Block Senders option from the Spam folder menu. Previously, I could select multiple spam emails and block all their senders at once with a single click.

Now I have to go through unnecessary steps to find individual email addresses and block them manually. This is a major downgrade in convenience and functionality.

Please restore the ability to select multiple messages in the Spam folder and use Block Senders on all selected messages at once. This feature worked well, and removing it makes managing spam much more difficult for longtime users.

    Your spam filters are really good. 99.9% percent of the **** I get in my spam folder are scammers. You can tell by their e-mail addresses! I should be able to block sender right from there and prevent them from ever getting in again, at least with that address. However, since you decided for some odd reason to change the look of the mail page, you have made it so that I now have to transfer the spam into the inbox so I can block sender from there which of course risks me missing one and accidentally opening it! This is the dumbest move I have seen you do! BTW I did not care for the changes you made and certainly wasn't asking for you to do it!! If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

    I no longer see 'Block Senders' and I always used it everyday to block unsavory emails?
    Can you help?

  • Ciprian Istrate commented  ·   ·  Report

    Add back the button to block senders to the Spam folder. Thank you!

  • Diane Carpenter commented  ·   ·  Report

    I want to know why we can block a sender in the regular email, but not in the SPAM folder anymore

  • Peggy Perry commented  ·   ·  Report

    In the SPAM folder, there used to be an option when you select emails and ... BLOCK SENDER. The selected emails would then be added to the BLOCK SENDER LIST and emails would be deleted. Please bring this option back!!

    It currently works in INBOX and other folders. I moved the emails from the spam folder into a created one and got the BLOCK SENDER option.

    why do i have to manually add the email i want to block when the one click functionality worked well in the old version of yahoo. this is a regression in service quality and give a extremely poor customer experience.

    I am no longer able to block senders in the spam folder. It was there until this new update.

  • Michael Noark commented  ·   ·  Report

    Can you please ensure the block and delete sender option is always readily available? Thanks in advance!!

  • julie lobdell commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please return "BLOCK AND DELETE" feature to the spam folder. Having to do it manually now too onerous. Return the ability to select multiple messages and click block sender, then select DELETE ALL is much more user friendly.

    Thank you.

    Cant find sellect button to Block Senders in Spam mail ..

  • Marilyn Smith commented  ·   ·  Report

    I want to block the sender and delete all existing messages from them at the same time in spam folder without opening the email.

    When I use the toolbar on a desktop web browser, Yahoo Mail should prompt me with a confirmation box that blocks the sender and deletes all their emails even if they are in the spam folder.

    How we should be able to do it:

    1. Check the box next to the sender's email (or hover over the email and click the magnifying glass to isolate all emails from them first).
    2. Click the three dots (More) icon in the top toolbar.
    3. Select Block sender(s).
    4. A pop-up window will appear. Make sure both checkboxes are selected:
    • Block all future emails
    • Delete all existing emails
    5. Click OK or Submit to confirm.

    Yahoo should immediately wipe out the existing messages and automatically block future ones from reaching my email address.

    Why can I no longer right click to block senders?????

  • Ronald Robinett commented  ·   ·  Report

    For some reason the block sender tab has been moved to the trash side

  • Olexiy Kernytsky commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please return the option to Block Sender in the SPAM folder, so the spammers cannot keep sending their spam emails. Thank you.
