  2. Acknowledge that some errors are Yahoo's, not user error, and recover my emails

    Give more than 7 days lee-way for recovering disappeared items, and accept on the request form that it's not always a user-error.

    I now have zero confidence in Yahoo's ability to maintain my e-mail securely and effectively.

  3. Fix the MyYahoo home page. The homepage today has now moved about 5 spaces to the left. It cuts off the first word of the left side.

    The entire homepage has shifted about 4 spaces to the left, cutting off the first word of the left side with all my news sites. I can't move it back. The shift arrows are there on the right but don't move anything.

  6. IMAP server settings for Yahoo Mail missing critical bit of information.

    Your help message for setting the IMAP server settings, for an email client to access Yahoo Mail, does not include information on the type of authentication to use. I guessed OAuth but that isn't working for me. Please include more information about how to authenticate with your email servers!

  7. It's no longer possible to get help from Yahoo without paying for it.

    It's no longer possible to get help from Yahoo without paying for it. Looking for free help on Yahoo is just a big run around. All you will find are ads for their new paid support service. Yahoo wil not let me enable data sharing which is my right under California law, and I have found no way to complain about this on any Yahoo web page. What has happened to Yahoo?

  12. Improve information your support staff have access to

    This exchange was not helpful. Kelsey (7/7/2023, 11:47:15 AM): Welcome to Yahoo Support. My name is Kelsey. I'd like to let you know, if we do not hear back from you within 3 minutes, the chat will disconnect. Can you please confirm the Yahoo email address you need assistance with?
    Me (7/7/2023, 11:47:29 AM):
    Me (7/7/2023, 11:47:41 AM): Can't comment on any Yahoo site. When I click in a comment box, a "Sign up to post" button pops up, even when logged in to Yahoo. Same issue across Safari, Firefox and Chrome browsers.

  16. Locked account

    I’m very disappointed on how yahoo is handling people accounts who has locked out because of forgotten password. They are making it extremely hard I have had my account for over 12 + years and they are not helping at all. All of my important information is link to this account and they just shown how they don’t care. My email mz_harp@yahoo.com is extremely important to me and I and can’t get anyone at the customer service to help your NEW verification system sucks really bad I will never be another yahoo account again !

  18. Comprehensively update"People Also Ask" electrosensitivity

    Truth about electrosensitivy and science and regulatory bias. Environmental Health Trust won FCC lawsuit about wireless effects. ICNIRP and FCC (and parts of the WHO) are biased. See ehtrust.org on failure of regulation and electrosensitivy, which actually most people have in one way or another. Do not fail to be inclusive and comprehensive. SEE ALSO Propublica: https://www.propublica.org/article/what-to-know-about-cellphone-radiation by Peter Elkind for FACTS on wireless regulation and harms.
