How do I unblock a spam email after I have deleted all emails in my spam folder?

iamconf: How do I unblock a spam email after I have deleted all emails in my spam folder?
I accidentally clicked spam instead of delete on an email I received from Facebook. I have already cleared all email in my spam folder, so now I get no email from my friends on Facebook. How do I get Facebook back to my Inbox?

If you mark something as spam by mistake with the free version of Yahoo Mail you should not have to worry about it especially if it was from an individual rather than a company.

It is my understanding that for the free version of Yahoo mail there is a single filter for everyone. That means that when you click on “spam” that email goes to the spam folder that one time and a notice is sent to Yahoo. It takes multiple “warranted” notices from many people for something to be blocked. If something does appear in the spam folder again then mark it not spam. You do not have access to the filter to make any direct changes.

For the paid Mail Plus version there are individual filters. That means that when you click on “spam” that email goes to the spam folder and YOUR filter is trained to stop it the next time. If you click on “spam” by mistake you must click on “not spam” the next time you receive that email to reverse it.

Read the following from Yahoo.

“SpamGuard, included free with Yahoo! Mail, listens to you. If you get an unsolicited email, click the “Spam” button to alert SpamGuard. If warranted, SpamGuard will then automatically block messages from that address.”
NOTE THAT IT SAYS “IF WARRANTED”.

“With more personalization options, SpamGuard Plus goes above and beyond the call of duty (and the free version). It actually “learns” what you consider spam, and uses that knowledge to determine which messages to allow. And which to boot. The more you teach SpamGuard Plus, the better it will work for you.”
THIS COMES WITH MAIL PLUS ($ 19.99 a year)

Go into the ‘spam’ folder and open the item you wish to keep. Click on the ‘Not spam’ button and it will be returned to your in box, also allowing that address to be delivered to the in box from now on. However, go in periodically and check to insure all items are spam.
Also, make sure that address is in your address book, as it helps to ensure that address as a “safe” one.
