Scores of spam e mails arrikve every day

My Spam originator blocked folder is full to the brim and there is no room to enter any more.  Spam e mails are still comining in daily by the score and I am getting really fed up deleting the spam folder contents daily.  What can Sky do about this considering I am paying Sky for a service?

Sky Yahoo Mail is a service provided free to Sky customers and ex customers. There's no point blocking spam originators as they'll simply use a slightly different address to avoid it. Better to just mark them as spam, and Yahoo's spam filters will learn over time to identify them as spam. There's no need to empty the spam folder. The contents will be deleted automatically after a while.

You don't pay for an email service with Sky,  check your bill, do you see any charge for you email account?

 

As advised it's a free email account.  Sky like any other email provider can't stop spam emails.  

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

If spam is being put in the spam folder, that is what is supposed to happen. No need to delete them, that will happen automatically. Just check it now and then, in case of "false positives", and mark them as "not spam" to return them to the inbox.

The blocked list is not for spam, it's for genuine emails that you no longer wish to see.
