About Yahoo mail
You can use your Yahoo web mail service to block unwanted emails from a sender.
Blocking nuisance emails helps keep your Inbox clutter-free and only for messages that matter to you.
The following example uses Yahoo mail in the Chrome browser on a computer. The steps are similar on a mobile device.
Step by step
- From your Inbox, click on an email from the sender you want to block, to open the message.
- Click the More menu in the top right. It looks like three horizontal dots.
- From the dropdown list, click on Block senders.
- A pop-up box will appear with the sender’s email address. Click the OK button to delete existing emails and block all future emails from the sender.
- Yahoo will remove the email from your Inbox and automatically send future messages from the sender’s email address to your Junk folder.
A sender won’t know that you’ve blocked them, and it may take a couple of days before you stop receiving unwanted emails from them.
