I’m getting five or six spam emails on my iPhone att.net account which is yahoo. Most of them reference McAfee but not all. I also have a separate Gmail account and I never get spam.

@Leasatom That's probably because AT&T uses Yahoo Mail, and Yahoo email is about the worst email provider around. Until Yahoo gets its act together, there is very little you can do other than try to filter the spam out. I pay for a separate email provider for my personal email and virtually no spam makes it thru to my In box. The provider traps (Graymail) 99% of the spam and either automatically deletes it after 7 days or I can go in and check to make sure something important didn't get trapped and then delete it all myself. Takes about 1 minute. My other email accounts for things like this forum are all gmail.

The amount of spam email has QUADRUPLED in the last year. 8 or more per day.
ATT/Yahoo must have changed ('updated') software somewhere to cause this.
I opened my account in the old "worldnet.att.net" days.
