  5. Screen your ads please. Or give an X so we can delete it.

    Jet.com ads feature sexually positioned ladies. My kids see that. There is no way to delete it. I am not against ads, sometimes I see something interesting and I click it. But you should make the software so that if I don't click on it, or CERTAINLY if I can click it off, I'm not interested in that ad, please don't show it again. I have no idea what magazines featuring ladies in undies bend over a car spread eagle or one holding her naked breasts has to do with Jet.com but I will never go to that webpage to…

  6. I am never going to have Verizon phone and I will never pay them anything. All my contacts have this email address & I will have to change

    I will never pay Verizon a dime.
    I DO NOT WANT THAT for my e-mail.
    You do that, I will have to change to another e-mail carrier that will not mess around with me.
    Why would you do such a thing?

  7. OMG no! NOT verizon. Should I bail now?

    OMG. Yahoo sold out. And to one of the worst companies ever.
    The long winded tos does not even MENTION will our email stay the same? Will there be support at all? Yahoo had some. Verizon I had for our phone and they were HORRIBLE!!!!!! I sure hope maybe they learned not to treat customers like garbage. But considering we are free users, I don't see any hope here. Gees, I hate moving everything to a new email. But I have a bad feeling that's exactly what's going to happen. This will go the way of AOL. You know, from…

  8. Stop the verification account key on "EVERY" sign in. The box is "NOT" checked......

    Remove the "Key" for every sign in. Also uncheck the box as default for "keep me signed in" The box in setup is not checked for two step varification so why require a "KEY" evertime...

  9. Please don't get any ideas about Yahoo Mail

    Recently Yahoo Finance changed its site design. In the process they destroyed a functioning site, generated many bugs, and upset most of their users. A note to Yahoo Mail: Please don't get any ideas redesigning the the Mail pages. Many people like the classic Mail pages, which work just fine.

    If you find the need to create some work for your technical staff, please approach the task with forethought and a plan. Act as adult professionals and preview any changes with your users before you blunder into it (like the misguided hacks at Yahoo Finance). Thank you.

  12. I am not receiving my emails at the time they are sent. Many don't come into my mail box for atleast 30 minutes or the next day

    Where are the emails redirecting to and from before dropping into my email. Perhaps if they came directly to me the service would be alot faster. I bid on emails that are time sensative within 5 minutes. Sometimes they dont even come through for 30 minutes or 24 hours from the time sent. i am usually on the phone with the individual sending them at the time. Unfortunately I have been told numerous times to switch to GMAIL because of this issues. My competitors are switching and getting bids awarded before I even have a chance to see the bids…

  14. Please return the OLD email tabs so you can open multiple emails at one time.

    A very old version of Yahoo mail let you open multiple emails at once, in multiple tabs within the email interface. Now, the only way to do it, is to open another Browser window. This is extremely painful, and the worst interface. I hate Gmail, but their interface is actually better than yours.
