Spam mails are the most annoying email issues. It is impossible to deal with thousands of irrelevant mails coming to your inbox calmly. Especially if you receive them on daily basis and it becomes a task to find work related mails from the heap of junk emails. Yahoo! Mail offers Spam filters to reduce this issue. These filters directly send the suspicious mails to spam folder. However, sometimes these filters become problematic and don’t work as designed. This means spam mails are not transferred to spam folder or important emails are sent to spam folder. This creates difficulty for users as their inbox fill with spam email.
Yahoo support services provide some guidelines to ensure that filters work properly and mails are sent to correct folders. So, try these solutions if you can’t find your mails in correct folders:
Solve Spam Filter Problem
- Every email goes through spam filter before moving to next filters. So, if you can’t find your emails in inbox or any other folder, check spam folder.
- Check if you have created any empty filter (filter without rules.) In case this filter is at the top of all other filters, other filters’ rules will become void and mails will be sent to inbox.
- Create multiple filters sensibly. A filter uses all rules defined to separate emails, if any of the rule is not matched, the filter will not apply. So, if you want a filter to satisfy any of the two rules, create two separate filters.
- Another reason for a spam filter not working might be conflicting rules. Avoid using positive and negative phrases together in a filter.
Add Spam Filter to Emails
- In your Yahoo mailbox, right-click on the suspicious email.
- Now, click on “Filter emails like this” to open the Add Filter window.
- Give a name to the filter, set rules.
- Find “move the message to” option and select “Trash” from the drop-down. Click “Save.”
