sync all folders in email so we can access all emails
on my mobile app I've created other folders to sort my mail but if i use a browser on my laptop i can't access them at all
Hi there. Please make sure the folders you created on non-Yahoo email apps are also saved on the server, not locally in the app. I would recommend reviewing the app's settings or contact the app's support.

Filters need a mailbox selection so it only works on the correct mailbox. I have 3 and it only works for 1 of them.
Filters need a mailbox selection so it only works on the correct mailbox. I have 3 and it only works for 1 of them.
Hi there. If filters aren't working properly or emails aren't sent to the correct folder, there may be issues with your filter settings. All emails go through the spam filter before going through other filters. If your emails aren't in the correct folder, check your spam folder first.

How do I confine search to current folder?
Is there a way to search only within the current folder, for example search INBOX only for mail from:(keyword)?
Hi there,
In the search bar, you can click on the drop down from ''Search in'' and select ''Inbox'' instead of 'All mail''.

Hi there,
Some Yahoo Mail features are temporarily unavailable. This is to respect new rules for messaging services in Europe. We’re working to bring them back. Thanks for your patience.

Yahoo Mail maintains the content of your mailbox as long as it remains active. Sign in to your mailbox at least once every 12 months to keep it active. Content deleted from an inactive mailbox can’t be restored. More info here: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/empty-mailbox-yahoo-mail-sln29338.html

WHY ARE YOU EMPTYING MY DELETED ITEMS AFTER ONLY 10 DAYS
It's 9th September. I tried to go back into my deleted items and re-look at an email from 28th August and it's GONE. WTF. When did you suddenly start doing this. Please restore my deleted items until I decide to delete them or at least don't rip out deleteds from the last day of the month on the first of the next month. This is ****. I just re-read an email in my Microsoft LIVE email account from 11th Jan 2021. Are these stupid decisions made by little kids?

retrieve old emails from trash
why would you automatically delete emails that are sent to the trash? I am in search of an important email from march and I cannot see any emails in my trash past July 1. How can I retrieve an old email that I put in the trash, but that I did not delete from the trash?

Does anybody know how to arrange that when a recipient has read your email, some "tick" or other sign appears in your "sent" message?

Hi there. Yahoo Mail does not provide a “read/return receipt” feature. To confirm that your recipient has received and/or read an important message, we suggest asking them to confirm receipt by sending you a reply. More info here: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/email-receipt-yahoo-mail-sln3386.html

Please restore my emails
All the emails in my sent folder have disappeared overnight. Please restore them as the history they contain goes back more than 20 years. I have not deleted anything from my sent items. I have tried to report this issue by submitting a request, but there is no way to explain the specifics. Please help, my emails are important to me. Thank you.

You can request a mail restore here: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN2552.html Once the restore is complete you would need to check your Trash folder for the recovered messages.

Emails deleted
Everything is gone... all gone... all the love letters from my to-be-husband... emails from my now-deceased mother... a decade or more of my life... deleted.
And no warning, no restore options... just purged. Why do this with no notice?
I stayed loyal through all these years, even when everyone said Gmail was infinitely better. I hated the inbox makeover, but still stuck with Yahoo.
Now this? It's the last straw.
Google may be an evil monopoly, but Yahoo deserves to go out of business for this.

What happened to spam? None in days. Some good mail goes there too.
Why is there no spam email? None in over a week. How can I be sure no good emails are going there when it doesn't come anymore?
If you find emails in your Spam folder that don’t belong there, you’ll need to mark the messages as "not spam’. Here’s how: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/manage-spam-mailing-lists-yahoo-mail-sln28056.html
Also, sometimes a filter can cause emails to bypass your inbox and be sent to either the trash folder or a different folder. You may need to check any filters you’ve created to make sure your messages are correctly organized: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/filters-organize-yahoo-mail-sln28071.html

You win - I cannot work with this ****** client any longer - Yahoo Mail sucks the life out of me
I give up - you win. You lose a customer. I've been using Yahoo Mail for 15 years .. and every year you guys ***** around with it and make it worse. I see hundreds of messages telling you how badly you rmail system sucks - and you do nothing
I just lost 2000 messages because your "Move" option does not move anything - and your "Delete" option does not move messages to the Trash. I don't know WHERE moved or deleted messages go but it is NOT to a chosen folder or to Trash

get it to work today - disappearing read email in Outlook and....
Sorry if this is the wrong place but I can't find a means to supply feedback to Yahoo though I have already to Microsoft. Below is a copy of what I have sent to Microsoft. It started on Tuesday the 22nd..
"Outlook 2016 and ymail - mail downloaded read then disappears from client and server.
I'm having some serious problems with my Ymail email. After downloading and reading them they disappear from my inbox in Outlook AND via webmail...I use IMAP, no filtering, no mail forwarding, only one mail rule in Outlook and it is not to blame, there…
The issue should be fixed. If you’ve verified that your account is working outside of the app and you’ve checked the other possible solutions, then there’s something wrong with the app you’re using. The app manufacturer may have additional troubleshooting steps to try. Alternatively, you can use a different third-party email app.

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.

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.
