  1. This morning, Wed 10/9.....emails won't go into folders

    I've tried dragging. I've tried assigning. I refresh the page, and try again. My goodness. A NEW ISSUE that Yahoo hasn't had in 20 years is now present. What a mess. But, tell you what, keep on messing with the app and the new logo. That'll make your customers happy. Yep. No doubt.

  2. SPAM

    Since Yahoo has the habit of flagging my legit mail as spam (50% of what get flagged as spam is not), I need to know when I have new items in my spam folder. The IOS app does not let me view the SPAM folder anymore. It is is new change. You need to let users view the SPAM folder on the app.

    Please download the Yahoo Mail app or use a desktop computer browser to access your mail.

    The best way to resolve this is to mark the emails as “Not Spam”, that way you can train the spam filter to better identify important emails in the future. Also if you use a mobile device or email client to access your mail over IMAP, please check the Spam filters in that application, to make sure it’s not marking important emails as spam.

  4. Yahoo Mail for iPad OS 13.1.1

    I just upgraded my iPad OS to 13.1.1, and I no longer have access to my folders. I only see the inbox, with no visible way to get to the folders. I've clicked on every available button with no luck.

  5. When I forward an email, the original automatically goes into the "Trash" folder. I want the original email to stay in my "Inbox" folder.

    Please try using a different browser. If the issue persists, make sure you do not have a certain setting on a third party email app.

  6. Every time I click on an item in my inbox, you move away from it

    I think you need to have your folks actually try using your e-mail. Am tired of trying to select items, then I cannot even see what I selected, since obviously know better as to what I am thinking. I am seriously looking for a new email service, since yours basically ****

  7. Why can't I move my subfolders to another folder in my Yahoo mail?

    Why can't I move my subfolders to another folder in my Yahoo mail? Is this option no longer available because of Yahoo helping Hillary when she tried to delete all of her emails?

    When searching please make sure you have the Option “Date: newest on top” selected under the Sort menu. If the issue still persists try clearing the browser cache and cookies or try using a different browser.

    Thanks for contacting us.

    At the moment, this feature is not available. You cannot create a folder between Inbox and Trash. All the folders that you create, are situated at the button of the email. We will pass along this feedback to the appropriate team for review.

    If an account is unused or dormant for 12 months, it is deactivated and its emails are deleted, more info here: help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN2018.html

    If this does not apply to you, You can try doing a search or doing an email restore if the email was deleted in the past 7 days.

    help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN2552.html

    In case you are using a mail client such as Outlook or the Native mobile app, emails may be deleted by that third party client. We do recommend accessing your mail via yahoo.com or the Yahoo Mail app to avoid this issue.

  14. keeps deleting emails that I haven't read

    When going through my emails I always mark as read before deleting them. Have noticed more and more emails being sent to trash that I haven't read, but have seen in my inbox. No idea how they are getting there. Really frustrating as I have to go through my inbox and trash folders just to make sure I've not missed anything. Will have to move to Outlook. They don't seem to change format ever 2 minutes and I don't have this issue there

    Please check the filters on the account to make sure there isn’t one set up that might make your emails go to the trash folder: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN15994.html

    In case you do not have any incoming mail filters set-up on your Yahoo account, please check the incoming mail filters, and junk mail filter, in the mail applications that you are using (e.g. Outlook, Mac Mail, Windows Mail, Thunderbird, mobile email application).

  15. search emails

    How do I search for emails within a specific folder? I could do it within the old Yahoo! inbox.

    If you did not sign into your account within 12 months the account is deactivated. Unfortunately, you will not be able to reactivate it or re-create the same email address. You can always sign up for a new Yahoo account.
