You can choose to use the spam filter in your email. In Yahoo, place a check mark in the box corresponding to the message you'd like to report as spam then click the SPAM button on the top menu bar next to the FORWARD button. The steps are similar to move a message to your spam folder in gmail except you click the icon on the menu bar that's the shape of a folder, the list will expand and you can select spam.

Another option is to block the sender or domain.

Also you can click the link to unsubscribe but I would only do that if you know that it's not a virus/malware infected message.

Be sure that it isn't something you've subscribed to because in that case, you will continue to receive the messages.

Almost every email program as well as online email provider has spam options. Usually when you mark a message as spam, your email program will then start to recognize the format of those messages and will mark them as spam in the future for you.

Those are just some of the options available.

Why you receive most of your emails on spam?

Most of your emails may end up in the spam folder due to spam filters identifying them as unsolicited or potentially harmful. This can happen if the sender's domain has a poor reputation, if the emails contain certain flagged keywords, or if your email provider suspects unsolicited bulk messaging. Additionally, if you frequently mark emails as spam, the filter may become more aggressive, misclassifying legitimate emails as spam. To improve delivery, consider whitelisting trusted senders and adjusting your spam settings.

I looked online, and then in Webster's 17th edition dictionary. To my surprise the use of the word "spam" for large numbers of unsolicited emails was first used in 1994. The reference is from Monty Python's Flying Circus television series in which chanting of the word Spam (trademark for canned meat product) overrides the other dialogue. _______________________
