I was sent an email from a site visitor, and it came to my inbox. I replied back and fourth with the end-user, for a total of some 8 emails in less than 2 hours. Then his emails stopped completely. As I checked my spam folder, his email was there!
How can Yahoo's syetm not be smart enough to realize that I am communicating with this person back and fourth, so it can't be spam. And if it was spam, I would have done this by now, after 7 emails back and fourth. And the content we were talking about was very general and nothing to do with Spam.
Anyway, I have now removed it from the spam folder, by clicking on 'non spam'
I will now think twice before I empty my junk mail with a simple skim through it. I will have to look deeper now.
Other than this one incident, I noticed Yahoo has flagged many other, perfectly normal emails, as spam.
I do know that some of these email contacts are not in my address book, so that is one reason why they get labeled as spam. But I can't add eveyone to my contact list, as most are first time emailers, asking about something in my site.
What are some things you can do to prevent this from happening?
Thanks

Scrap yahoo mail, and set up a gmail account. A few spam slip though every now and then (for a few hours until gmail learns their latest trick and filters it). But treating real mail as spam is very, very rare - unless the sender has overdone it and been labelled 'spam' too often; very, very, very rare to get a mislabel.
My wife has a Yahoo account while I have 3 business accounts with Gmail.
The difference is like night & day.
Gmail is simple & accurate while Yahoo is confusing, awkward to use & really screws up the incoming mail.
However, I went back to my GMail account lately, and I noticed it was pretty clean and most of the spam had been filter to the spam folder.
May give it a try again.
