  2. Use Wild Cards for blocking

    I have blocked 918 total emails. I've had my email for at least 2 decades plus, come to you from a "cox.net" account. I have a junk gmail account, I have used about the same time frame and do not have near the problems. Not sure how they do it.

    It would be for benefit to block users who use key words in the subject column using wild cards. Example Sex, Missed Payment etc. or run against a blocked sender universal list.

    On top of that, it would be good to block emails not from .com or .org or…

  3. The Restore and deleted Emails

    I have been attempting to recover several deleted emails for the past seven days, but the “Submitted Request” tab on the recovery form is not functioning. Additionally, when I click the “Contact” tab, it redirects me back to the created request instead of opening a contact option. This appears to be a system glitch, and I would appreciate assistance in resolving it. Thank you

  5. Improve Spam Filters to add the option "Reply To" variable

    Hello Yahoo Team. I'm getting lots of different spam email from various senders. However, after reviewing the "raw message" they all have the same "Reply To": embedded in the email. Please help fix this issue so they can be blocked with a spam filter.

  14. Delete spam mail from blocked senders

    Delete spam mail from blocked senders. Yahoo has been failing to delete spam messages after user blocks the senders. User must manually delete spam messages after Yahoo fails to delete them.

  17. How do I add JUST A DOMAIN NAME to the blocked senders list? I receive lots of SPAM emails from the same domain names day in and day out.

    How do I add JUST A DOMAIN NAME to the blocked senders list? I receive lots of SPAM emails from the same domain names day in and day out. Whoever is sending these SPAM emails changes the first part of the address each time and they don't reuse them while the domain name stays the same. Being able to block SPAM messages simply by domain name would be a big help.

    You can do this actually! You can sort by sender (disable conversation view under Settings) and then click on any checkbox. From there, a new checkbox will appear and you can select all and then delete all. It will delete more than 50, a floating bar will appear in the top, middle and there you'll see delete all ### emails.

  19. Block Unwanted Emails

    Hi,

    I an receiving too many Spam/Junk Emails in my Yahoo mail Inbox. I keep on trying on Unsubscribe, Block and Delete but still I keep receiving them every day. Its too annoying for me to delete Junk Emails every day. Can you kindly look into it on priority basis and somehow Block Spam Emails appearing in my Yahoo mail Inbox. Otherwise I would have no choice except to deactivate this account.

  20. Don't delete people's emails without notifying them

    At the very least you should contact their backup emails. It makes me sick knowing all my communication with lost friends, family and my Grandma are just gone.

    If your account has had no activity for 365 days, then the account is deactivated. We communicate this a few times which includes sending you an email to your alternative email account, so make sure that is updated. If you need help reinstating, contact our CC team at help.yahoo.com. They have the tools to help with these issues. Hope this helps!
