That’s not nearly enough to direct every person in my address book to a custom folder (to handle the no-whitelist feature)." AMEN to that one! As much as I like Yahoo Mail, I'm probably going to have to stop using it soon for that reason alone. 50 filters isn't NEARLY enough to keep legitimate mailers' communications from ending up in the Spam folder (let alone allow for use of the non-whitelisting benefits of filters). I can't turn off spam control, because I receive hundreds a day. But I use Outlook to pull in my mail, and I don't have time to sift through the Yahoo spam folder every day. This could all be solved SO easily by offering PAYING cusomers more than a measly 50 filters. I'd very much LIKE to keep Yahoo for my primary email, but if the filer limit doesn't substantially increase soon, I'm going to have no choice but to strat transitioning over to another email provider. Heck, I'd even be willing to pay a reasonable dollar premium (beyond the usual cost) to get additional filters. C'mon, get on the stick on this one, Yahoo! It's an obviously-needed enhancement that's WAY overdue. I'd like to be able to stick around. “Also, what’s the deal with only giving us 50 filters?

However, I don't want it to be considered SPAM, as it is a legit mailing that I used to enjoy). I know you can go into preferences and block emails, but that is time consuming. Would be nice to have a quick button for this.

But it is such a pain to use. There are other things I would like to suggest. What is the best way to suggest improvements? Sometimes I wonder if anyone at yahoo uses address guard, it is a great feature but so hard to use.

In fact, it's a complete piece of junk lately. I can search for a SINGLE word in a folder with that word showing up 100+ times and get only 2-3 results. It is utterly broken. (comment 2)
