    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.

  2. 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 ****

  3. 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.

  10. 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).

  11. 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.

    You can create a new folder from the Folders list using the “New Folder” option at the top of the list. Once it’s created, you should be able to move emails there with eh “Move” button.

    Thank you!

    “Purchase” view isn’t a folder, it’s just a saved search of emails in the mailbox, therefore, you will have to delete the email from the Inbox.

  20. Buggy Mail

    1. Multiple selection Action not working. 2. The right click button not working. How can you force everyone to go new mail when it so bugg
