  1. Can we limit the search feature to the in box and not all mail

    Currently when we do a search it brings up all the conversations including those that have been filed. Is there a way to limit the searches to the in box and not all boxes.

  2. The time on today's e mails are all wrong by a couple of hours or more. What's going on?

    You're not interested in improving, I think, because there's no way to reach with a problem.

    If the timestamps on emails are off on the web, you can make sure you’ve selected the right timezone in the Settings menu and verify that your computer’s clock is correct.

    If you ever have any other issues, you can always reach out to us through our Help pages or through our Forums:

  4. This week I have had two days that I could not get to my messages in Yahoo mail. Let us know when you are working on site.

    Send an email to subscribers letting them know they will experience down time on emails because you are working on issues. Hate being in the dark -- my computer was not at fault.

    Sometimes when emails go missing it’s because of another program or app the account is being accessed from. Check out this post for more info and how to restore missing emails.

    Hi there,

    The instructions depend on the software you maybe using. We have tried to capture the steps for the most frequently used programs here:
    https://en-global.help.yahoo.com/kb/new-mail-for-desktop/sln28635.html

    Note if you are using Firefox, you can follow the steps under the heading “Turn off Tracking Protection for individual sites” on the following page:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tracking-protection?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=tracking-protection-pbm#w_how-to-turn-tracking-protection-off

    We have seen issues where users using Ad Blockers have not been able to see the latest email in their inbox due to the ad blocking software incorrectly blocking it. Whitelisting Yahoo Mail should eliminate issues like this.
    Of course it will also mean that ads will not be blocked, but its not cheap to provide 1TB of email storage for free for everyone, so we need to pay the bills somehow!

    Thanks,
    Mail Support

  9. I have spent an hour trying to find some real help. All there is lots of loops and canned non-answers. I have a real problem & no help.

    I am unable to access addresses on the to line. I put in a letter and that is all I get, a letter -- no list of addresses for that letter.

  10. Embedded pictures in my emails stopped showing. Up until a couple days ago, they showed and I haven't made any changes to my system.

    All the embedded pictures in my email do not show. Until a couple days ago, they worked. There have been no changes to our system, and my husband's Google email works, but he has the same problem with his Yahoo email.

  11. sent folder says draft

    After sending an email, if I go to my SENT folder the email I just sent says "draft" next to it in red letters. What's that all about? It isn't listed in the DRAFT folder. Has it been sent or not? Ever since Yahoo made a bunch of "upgrades" a lot of things seem to be going wrong. If you're going to make changes, how about makings sure they are improvements?

    Yahoo Mail offers a 7-day restore timeframe for emails. Regardless of how old an email is, if it was deleted within the past 7 days, there’s a chance it can be recovered.

    Contacts typically have a 30-day restoration window. If you need help restoring Calendar events, reach out to us through our Help pages or our Forums:

  14. Return My past/present e-mails

    I have tried several times to do this. I still do not have e-mail of any kind. At one point I was told that I now use g-mail. Well.... I have never used g-mail and will not use g-mail. I do not care who you have signed up with just return my past/present/future e-mail. I am now going to a friend and sign into the type of e-mail they use as they do not seem to have a problem with it. Glad to no longer be using you. Good Bye. Hope they can get my mail from you.

  15. It seems that many of my friends don't recive the emails from me and I don't recive the emails from them

    After I send the Email, I always check the " sent folder" and it seems to be alright, but is not. It didn't happen only to me so what is the problem?

    Hi there,

    We’ve tried and so far we have not been able to replicate this issue.

    When downloading a file, please note that you must click on either the file name or the download arrow within the file icon. Clicking on the attachment thumbnail (the box with file icon inside it) will not download the file.

    We made this click to download area smaller to avoid unintentionally downloading files.

    Thanks!

  18. Bring back the forwarding all mail option. This is complete rubbish, all about the looks (who cares), and no functionality. Utter pants.
