how do I block somebody from my inbox?

First...any of the emails that you open....most of the time....have an UNSUBSCRIBE (or something similar) located at the bottom. This is the best way to stop them. If you do not want to open the emails OR cannot find an UNSUBSCRIBE...you can create an UNSUBSCRIBE FOLDER...

"USUALLY" just clicking on SPAM when you receive the message will direct it to your SPAM FOLDER and any subsequent emails from this person will go there...Sometimes that doesn't work so you will have to block the address as described below.

In the NEW VERSION use this link.... http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=cont%E2%80%A6 which explain how to block and unblock email addresses...

NOTE: In the CLASSIC mode click on OPTIONS..MAIL OPTIONS...go to the left and click on SPAM...Make sure there is a check mark in the box to the left of "Automatically send suspected spam to my Spam folder" If you have to add the check mark go above and click on SAVE CHANGES.
