Is there a way to check the email addresses I have blocked?

I've just learned there is a 500 limit on email addresses you can block. Is there any way to see that list and remove some addresses? Is Yahoo! going to up that number. Many of us are getting loads of spam all of a sudden. I can't believe we've all reached that limit. I think it's a problem in Yahoo!, but I still want to know if there is a way to check the list and unblock an address, especially if I made an error.

    In the last 10+ years that I've had a Yahoo email address, I've probably emptied my blocked list dozens of times. It fills up yearly or more often, depending on how much gets into my inbox. You can safely delete all or part of them. Spammer DO NOT use the same addresses more than once. If you don't know how to find it, in Classic Mail, you click on Options on the right side of the screen, then on Block Addresses. There's the list. As I said, you can safely delete one or all of them.

    yeah ,with mail open open,hit the options listing on the right of the screen.

    look down the page and you will see "blocked address"

    it will show you how many you have blocked.

    not that it does a damn bit of good.

    Also half the time you mark a message as spam yahoo does not add its address to the blocked list.

    If you want to open the spam,copy its url and paste in the blocked list,it works.

    Problem is you really do not need to be opening spam at all,and it takes forever to go through the piles of it that are flooding this pinchy half *** yahoo mail.

    yes yahoo is working in their mail platforms sections at a time to adjust the new upcoming Universal profile settings, many users are having problems with Mail now days.

    I guess all we can do is sit tight and wait.

    good luck to you
