How do I add a spam filter

Weecoops — Sat, 07 Jan 2023 12:06:52 GMT

I have been bombarded by the same 4 spam email addresses, each one at least 1 per day. I send them straight to the spam folder but the new ones are still going into my inbox instead of being diverted to Spam. I would have though that after 2 months (60 emails from each address) the algorythm would have figured out that these are unwanted by now. Is there a way to manually add a spam filter?

@Weecoops Are you actually marking them as Spam rather than moving them to the spam folder?

How to add a filter can be found here under "search filters":

I don't have "other settings" within settings so I think these instructions are old. Thanks though.

If you really are getting unwanted emails from the same 4 email addresses, you can add them to your blocked list,

I don't get any of those settings. It must be different on mobile.

Are you using an app on your mobile, and if so, which one.

It's possible the reason marking them as spam is not working is because it is not being recognised by Yahoo, try making them as spam via the webmail.

I am simply not getting to see any other options for adding filters via Safari or Google browser, I get the same list as shown in image previously with no other options available anywhere on the screen.

You need to use a desktop browser, or use "desktop mode" on your mobile browser.

More settings is here:

When you sign into your emails on Google, instead of the app, open the email and at the bottom of it, you will get the 3 dots (as pictured) this will open another menu including the option to mark as spam (as pictured)
