Lately I have noticed that I haven't been getting any email replies in my Yahoo email address that I still use (and can't abandon since game accounts and bank accounts are linked to it). So there are probably two things that are happening. Either it has been hacked and my replies are getting deleted or something technical is wrong. So I decided to change my email password and do a test .I got someone to send me an email for testing purposes. When I first checked my inbox, it was there. Then I left it alone without clicking on it. And when I checked it hours later , it disappeared and went to my Spam section. I would like to know what you think. Could my email have been hacked and the hacker sent the email to Spam or is this just purely a technical issue? Can the hacker be that fast in hacking even though I only changed my password a day ago?

Solved Can an email go to inbox first before getting sent to spam?

what is your email software - PC based like Outlook or Thunderbird or similar, or browser based as in WebMail to your Internet Service Providers online email portal, or to a free online account like Hotmail, Yahoo, etc?
It can be as simple as what they put in the subject line or how basic the message is. E.G test or Hi etc.
The easy way is to put known people into the safe senders list or contacts.

It should be Yahoo.
Ok. I'll try that. How do you avoid an email from not-known people, like a potential employer's email from going into Spam?
You can't as far as I know.
Luck of the draw.
Are you using web-based yahoo or 3rd party program to read yahoo.
You are stuck with how the spam filters work.
The only hope is as you mark things as not spam it should notice a pattern and not ditch things to spam.
