How do you block incoming mail?

How can i block an incoming mail address?

• i would like to block emails coming from 1 address

• Answer:

  You have to "manually" put that address in your blocked list----THEN Yahoo will immediately delete any future emails from that address. You'll never see them---and---the sender is NOT notified that they have been blocked (for security reasons). They will think you are still getting their emails. Do this to block them. Mail page>>options>>mail or more options>>Spam (from the list on the left)>>block addresses. Enter that exact address>>click "add block">>THEN click "save changes" at the top of the page. ********************************* On the other hand: If you're referring to Spam mail----trying to block Spam is a colossal waste of time, since it's mostly ineffective. Spammers change their addresses with "each" batch they send out and never reuse one, so they slip easily past blocks. Just click the Spam tab on them and let Yahoo deal with them, which they do by sending them to the Spam folder (instead of the inbox) and deleting them at preset times.
