  3. THIS IS NOT A SUGGESTION BUT A DEMAND!!! BEFORE, I COULD LOOK AT ALL MY EMAIL ACCOUNTS AT ONCE. I DID NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH A TWO DEVICE

    I DON'T LIKE THE "TWO DEVICE" METHOD OF SIGNING INTO EMAIL. I DON'T LIKE SWITCHING SCREENS TO GET A SECURITY CODE TO SIGN IN. MY PASSWORD ISN'T RECOGNIZED ANY MORE. YOU HAVE CHANGED EVERYTHING SO MUCH I'M CONSIDERING DROPPING YAHOO ALL TOGETHER AND GO TO ANOTHER WEB ADDRESS!!!!!

  6. I have a problem. When I open a new window the bars show up with nothing in them. They used to tell me which window was what.

    I don't know which is which as I have had 3 different ones!! The first is just a long list of emails, the old version. Another one has popped up with a split screen and I hate it. The third one has a list but all divided according to day/date. I like this one. How can I keep it?

  9. How do notify the Yahoo Team about my SPAM/Phishing emails??? I want to help your team work on the security filters!

    I think it would be a good idea for an option to send your Email Security Team (or bots) some things to look for in the emails to block them completely. So instead of seeing repeated emails in the SPAM folder, the servers could pretty much just BLOCK those SPAM/Phishing emails.

    What do you think?

  16. 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!!!!!

  18. 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.
