Here's a step-by-step guide for checking if an email has gone to the Spam folder in Yahoo Mail:

📬 How to Check if a Mail Is in the Spam Box in Yahoo Mail

🔹 Step 1: Open Yahoo Mail

1. Go to https://mail.yahoo.com.

2. Sign in with your Yahoo email address and password.

🔹 Step 2: Locate the “Spam” Folder

• On the left sidebar, you'll see a list of folders.

• Click on “Spam” (marked with a 🚫 icon or just labeled "Spam").

• This folder contains messages Yahoo suspects to be junk or phishing.

🔹 Step 3: Search for a Specific Email

If you're looking for a particular message:

1. Use the search bar at the top.

2. Enter this search query:
   in:spam [knitting or absolutepatterns]
   Example: in:spam knitting or in:spam absolutepatterns.com.

This filters the search results to only show emails from the Spam folder.

🔹 Step 4: Mark It as “Not Spam” (Optional)

If you find a legitimate email in Spam:

1. Open the email.

2. Click the “Not Spam” button at the top toolbar.

   • The email will move to your Inbox.

   • Yahoo will learn not to treat similar messages as spam.

🔹 Step 5: Add to Contacts or Safe Sender List

To prevent future messages from going to spam:

• Open the legitimate email.

• Click on the sender name and choose “Add to contacts”.

• Or go to Settings → More Settings → Filters or Security and whitelist the sender’s domain.
