At other times, they are just messages coming from someone you do not wish to hear from.
In this article, am going to show you how to:
1. Block an unwanted email address from sending you emails on yahoomail and,
2. Unsubscribe from marketing email messages and newsletters.
How to Block Unwanted Email Messages on Yahoomail

How to Unsubscribe from Newsletters and Other Marketing Mails.
Newsletters and marketing emails are usually legitimate because you subscribed to receive them. However, the consistent and continuous inflow of these mails actually becomes annoying. To get rid of these “used to be” important email messages, just open up one of their mails to you. Scroll down to the bottom of the email; you will definitely see any of these links (they are usually in small print):
“Unsubscribe Now”.
“To Be Taken Off This Mailing, Visit This Page”.
“Unsubscribe from this list”.
Click on any of these links and you will be taken to a page where you can unsubscribe comfortably.
Warning: For whatever reason do not click on any link in an email sent by an unsolicited source. Only unsubscribe from marketing mails that you are sure that you signed up for. If not, just ban the email address. An example of a marketing mail that you can unsubscribe from is shown below:
