So if you transfer an email to the spam folder, do all future emails from the same address go straight there automatically? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Depends on your email providers filtering - I know at least two ISPs (no names, sorry) where the filters seem to be very temperamental, hence why I and others have those filters off, and use third-party solutions.

On my yahoo mail page at the top of the page next to Spam, there are three dots... click that on and you may see 'block sender', see if that helps as I didn't know about that until I saw your post (I have a similar problem) and the subsequent replies.

If you are using Yahoo open the email and on the bar above where you have option to move or deleet etc,you will see 3 little dots,click on these and it will give you other options,one of which is block sender,click on this and you won't receive any more.Another option is on most messages at the very bottom is an unsubscribe option click on this and it will also stop any more messages.
