This is sort of the way Gmail works. For new msgs you mark as SPAM, Gmail automatically places subsequent msgs from the same sender into your SPAM folder.

They don't identify that 1st msg as SPAM in case it is someone you do wish to interact with, and have not placed it into your contact list.

Also, they look at actual sender's email address, not at the name that is presented to you.

Different email providers have different ways to ID Spam or Junk. On Yahoo, you can click the box to the left of the email and then go to the top menu area and click Spam.

This clip from an internet post explains it better than I can.

I am now using care when clearing all the trash from my email. And because of my naivete on the subject, I have a lot of trash.

My intention in this post is to help others. If it's not helpful, I will be able to tell by the responses and will take it down.

If anyone finds it helpful, or has other advice, I am grateful.

My Apple has a junk folder. Put email there and it blocks sender

I wish that you had posted this weeks ago! I had been getting over 100 emails daily and so I started clicking "unsubscribe" on every one that I could!

Yes, it is a very helpful reminder. To lower the number of trash emails, I select without opening them, then left click on Junk Mail followed by clicking on the line for Block this domain. The email is then erased and will not arrive again. (Hopefully)

Years ago, I received e-mails from god. I would figure god would contact me direct oh and wouldn't be requesting a check.

You can block senders.

Good one. LOL
