Can yahoo mail automatically delete spam

Yes, Yahoo Mail has a built-in feature to help automatically delete spam emails. Here are the ways Yahoo Mail can help you combat spam:

  1. Spam Filter: Yahoo Mail uses a spam filter to automatically move suspected spam emails to the "Spam" folder. You can access this folder by clicking on the "Spam" tab in your inbox.
  2. Spam Reporting: You can report spam emails by clicking on the "Report Spam" button at the top of the email. This helps Yahoo Mail's algorithms learn to recognize similar emails as spam in the future.
  3. Customizable Spam Filter: You can customize your spam filter by adding specific senders, domains, or keywords to your "Safe Senders" and "Blocked Senders" lists. This helps Yahoo Mail's filter learn to recognize and block emails from known spammers.
  4. Intelligent Filter: Yahoo Mail's Intelligent Filter uses machine learning algorithms to analyze email content, sender information, and other factors to identify and block spam emails.

To enable these features, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your Yahoo Mail account.
  2. Click on the gear icon () in the top right corner of the page.
  3. Select "More settings" from the dropdown menu.
  4. Click on "Filters" from the left-hand menu.
  5. Under "Spam filters," toggle the switch to "On" to enable the spam filter.
  6. You can also customize your spam filter settings by clicking on the "Edit" button next to "Spam filters."

Keep in mind that no spam filter is 100% effective, and some spam emails may still slip through. However, Yahoo Mail's built-in spam filter and reporting features can help significantly reduce the amount of spam you receive.
