  1. hassle logging in

    logging in now has 2 factor authentication with the option to stay verified. However, you don't honor that and I have to re authenticate every time. I do not like this. I just want to sign in and not text a code as well. Turn it off.

  3. Go back to previous "Sort"

    You've updated the sort feature and it's terrible. Bring back the previous sort version you had.

  6. 2-step verification required, but displays sign up for it

    Had to use 2-step verification to sign in, and Security setting display request to sign up for it.
    I want to remove it (change setting not to require).
    How does one opt-out when they did not opt-in?

  7. 2-step verification is full of bugs

    It does not work if recovery account is also a Yahoo account. Each account wants to send code to the other. PLUS, in trying to turn it off, the display option is turn it ON.
    For the next "feature" consider giving user an opt-in rather than having to opt-out of something full of bugs.

  8. Yahoo Mail grouping by date is annoying

    The Yahoo Mail grouping by date is really annoying. I used to be able to turn it off by clicking Sort -> Unread. Now if I do that no messages show up unless they are truly unread. Why group email by "Today" Yesterday" "Last Week". We can see that by the date on them so this grouping feature just wastes space by adding unnecessary rows telling us it is from today etc.

  14. PROTECTION AGAINST ACCIDENTAL DELETION WHICH DOES NOT APPEAR IN TRASH OR SPAM TO RECOVER. IT SEEMS TO BE PERMANENT.

    You need to protect against accidental deletions due to accidental clicking on box which appears from the . . . . options while I'm scrolling to uncheck mail to save before deleting the rest. I look for the email which disappears and it's not in trash or spam. WHERE DOES IT GO?!

  15. Email address when reading emails on the mobile app

    For the phone app, PLEASE list email addresses as well as names when we are in an email. I wasn't paying absolute attention and I got done by a phishing scam. On the Yahoo Mail app, it looked convincing, and it was about updating my payment details with Spotify. My credit card was about to expire too, so the phishing email came through at the perfect time. I gave up my username and password, then realised on the next page that it was a phishing scam. I'm checking the phishing email again, and on the app, it requires me to…
