I’ve been quietly annoyed by Yahoo’s inability to filter out junk mails for months now. Why couldn’t they do as good a job as Gmail? Maybe they should outsource their search to someone else…wait, in fact they did.
Anyway, now I’ve encountered another downside of Yahoo’s horrible junk mail filter. I’ve ordered several books from Apple via iPhoto but never got the confirmation emails. After a few days just before I wanted to order again, I smarted up and checked the Yahoo spam folder. Sure enough, buried down deep in junk mails are the Apple receipts. How could something as popular as Apple online store receipts get recognized as junk email? It blows my mind. Maybe Yahoo should allow me to search the “junk” mail folder so that I can uncover these buried treasure easily. Currently it doesn’t.
Product suggestion to Yahoo email: since your junk mail filter sucks, maybe you should have folders and search/index functions built into the junk mail.
