  1. As a senior who gets hundreds of emails, I am upset that your "Next" and "Previous" features no longer to work as they did when deleting

    Fix your NEXT and DELETE features,. While trying to delete hundreds of unwanted emails the page goes blank and you have to start over. It takes HOURS. It sucks!!!!!

  3. I

    Stop with the passkey verification. I always use the same computer, so whether I use my e-mail a lot or a little should make no difference. Paying text rates just to check my e-mail is STUPID. Keep your service secure and don't worry about how often I use it.

  7. I want to block incoming mails by simple pattern on subject and body like "bla bla sexting", "personal loan", "viagra".

    I want to block incoming mails by simple pattern on subject and body like "bla bla sexting", "personal loan", "viagra". Because the **** spammers are changing their domain continuously, and the "BIG YAHOO" DO NOTHING! I hate gmail too, but they have much less annoying "feature" like "new mail", "accounc veryfication", unblockable spams, and so on.

  10. Your IT people who are user unfriendly n out of touch with consumer needs need to go.

    Leave consumers the option without forcing and manipulating them into using your very user unfriendly new version,its missing features that would help Consumers. I want the OLD VERSION BACK. Your IT people who left out the BLOCK MAIL Option should be looking for another job.
    You most likely will be facing some HEAT from the FEDS becz consumers are fed up with your unfair business practices.

  11. yahoo blocked email from one site. I want emails from this site, site is not in spam.

    Yahoo blocked email from one site I want to receive email from. It is not in spam. It is an investment site called Seeking Alfa. I received emails from there daily with tips on investing. I want to get emails from this site. It is not in my spam folder. Yahoo has blocked this site giving me no way to correct it. It is a necessary education site that Yahoo just decided to block. What can I do so I can receive emails from this site other than changing my email to google?
