In Yahoo mail, is there a way to block all email addresses except those in my contacts/ address book?
No, that does not work for email. It works for your Messenger. I can get you very close to what you want, see below. To STOP receiving unwanted (Spam/Bulk/Junk) email, do the following: Log into your Email, go to Options (upper right hand side). Go through all your settings and don't forget to save them too. Under Spam Protection, make sure your Spam Guard is turned ON. Option to immediately delete all Spam messages. This will force all new email to redirect to your Inbox. Option to Block messages that you mark as Spam. If you plan on keeping your Bulk folder, also option messages you mark as Not-Spam to be moved to your Inbox. Always Option to Block all Images until you can look them over first. This prevents spammers from knowing you opened their email. Save Changes. Under Blocked Addresses, type in spammer.com, this will stop all Spam that has been reported to Yahoo from ever entering your email. I recommend you remove everything on your list first. This will give you a fresh start after you type in the "spammer.com". Under General Preferences, Folders/Search Results, Special Folders, option to redirect incoming unsolicited email to the Bulk Folder. Save. Check your Marketing Preferences to make sure you didn't accidently request something. Go into My Account, click Marketing Preferences, click Clear and Save Your Changes. If you get email from someone you don't know, NEVER open it (it may contain viruses) and report it as SPAM. This will automatically block it from your email account. When you do open an email that is Spam, you have alerted the sender that your account is Active. This will immediately stop all the Junk Mail considerably. I only get maybe one or two Spam emails a Month. Remember, anytime you give out your email address over the internet, you can expect to receive some kind of Spam, unless you have made sure that site is secured. Don't save messages in your Inbox folder. Instead create a folder to move them to. Open your Inbox, click the box next to the message(s) you want to save, click the tab above that says Move and create a folder to move it to. Always keep your Inbox clear and ready to receive New Messages. You can have as many folders as you want. Good Luck!
How can i "unspam" an email address in yahoo mail?
you can do what boston said - or you can add the email address to your adresses. By doing that it will put the incoming emails in your "in box". If that does not work - you can "reset" your spam filter (but this will allow ALL mail in your in box and you will have to start all over marking spam) to do this (as a last resort) go to * "MAIL" * "OPTIONS" * Spam Filter * SpamGuard Plus is ON [Turn SpamGuard Plus OFF - Reset Filter
Blocked Junk Emails Keep Coming Back!!!!! WHY??????
Stuff like "cheap insurance" and "your pharmacy"...I keep checking this stuff off as SPAM & deleting it BUT it keeps coming back!!!

I think someone wants it & it's not going to happen. WHY ISN'T MY SPAM/DELETE STAYING DELETED??????????????
How do I 'unspam' an email address on yahoo?
For New Yahoo Mail: Go to your Spam/Bulk folder, check if it still contains the email that you spammed. If it's there, mark it "not spam", that returns it to the Inbox and removes the block against the address. For Yahoo mail classic: open the email to find the Not Spam button. If it is no longer in the Spam/Bulk folder, do this: for New Yahoo Mail go to options -> mail options -> spam, for Yahoo mail classic go to options -> block addresses. For both mail versions check the list of blocked addresses which shows numerical order first, then alphabetical order. When you find the mail, mark it, click "remove block".
How do I know if someone blocked my Yahoo email?
When you add an email address to your blocked email addresses list there is no notification sent to the blocked email address in question.Whenever your blocked contacts send you a message, they will not receive a failure notice confirming their message was not delivered. Since the email in question will never arrive to your inbox, you will not know they have sent you a message.This works the same if someone has blocked you. I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to help you!
Why is Yahoo so inept at blocking spam from my Yahoo email account? I get the same “Lonely Married Women” email every day. I understand that the spam email address changes every day, but why can’t Yahoo spam check the subject?
Actually, Yahoo! blocks a ton of spam. We have a team working very hard on this challenge that we all face. Check out this realtime view here: Visualizing Yahoo! Mail (make sure you click on the "reveal blocked spam" button) to see how much spam is being blocked at any moment. We block 4 messages for every 1 message we deliver.Still, you are seeing spam in your inbox which means that some comes though despite our attempts. But you can do things about this too.Remember to set the spam filter on your email client. If you are using the Yahoo! web client go to the Options tab and check to see that you have spam set to be filtered out and deleted.When spam comes though, please mark it as spam. We pick up that signal and it helps improve our algorithms. This way we can block more spam in the future for you and others.General tip -- make sure not to post your email address in full on a web site. I saw a report once that showed how spambots harvest email addresses from blogs and site by searching for "yourname@host.com" pattern but they don't search for "yourname 'at' host.com" So you can reduce your risk of inviting spam by making this small change.If you get a spam mail, don't click on the links. This sends the signal that you are a real person who clicks on spam. Just delete these emails. I'm sure you don't need the pills anyways.Did you know that Yahoo! also give you disposable email addresses that you could use, say if you are doing online shopping? This is another way to make sure that your email address is only used by your real friends, and that websites only see addresses you don't care as much about.Maybe these tips will help your emailing experiences. You've been with Yahoo! for 10 years, we hope you enjoy our services for at least 10 more too!
