Why did you switch my mail (only) to Canada for one of my accounts? There is no reason for this.

create a setting to either enable or disable opening links in new window or tab
links in messages used to open in a new tab or window. now they are suddenly opening in the same tab or window. Some might like this, others, like me, not. So give us an option. Also consider this for settings in Calendar, settings, news, and other yahoo features.
In New Mail, links in emails still open in new tabs/windows. If you still find that the issue is happening, please see this help page for troubleshooting:

To permanently set the font style/size, you’ll need to change it form your Mail settings and not the compose window.

Get date, time and time zone info from the O/S. It should be automatic. Everything else is.
Get date, time and time zone info from the O/S. It should be automatic. Everything else is.
Here’s some things to check.
1. Is the Time and Time zone set correctly for the laptop or desktop that you are using.
2. Do you use a VPN when accessing the Internet?
3. When you look at the Yahoo Home Page do you see the weather section? If so, does it show your correct location? If not can you click on the icon to the right of the location named and set the correct location. You should also be able to remove any other locations.
4. If you are using the New Mail you can set your timezone by using these instructions: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/new-mail-for-desktop/sln28570.html
5. If you are using the New Mail you can set the timezone for your calendar by using these instructions: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/new-mail-for-desktop/sln28063.html -

Stop all the unrelevent email which i am receiving.. i am receiving all the advertisement emails. Please stop all that... i am irritated
If these emails are unsolicited, the best thing to do is to mark them as Spam. You can also look for an Unsubscribe option at the bottom of the email.
Thanks!

Notifications on main yahoo page. Please allow an option for them to be disabled. They are almost always irrelevant.
Please allow for an option to disable notifications on the main yahoo page that link to random (or perhaps poorly targeted) articles. It is mildly annoying to constantly see 2 or 3 "notifications" which upon examination, are merely clickbait or random news, not actually a meaningful or pertinent notification (eg. amber alert, impending nuclear disaster, etc.)

since has no contact information & so does NOT respond to one's need
since Yahoo has no contact details & so does NOT respond to one's needs, i have no choice but to leave my email address & hope that someone out there on the inter-web will give me the answer: in my Yahoo email window, there are 3 columns: Column 1 lists the folders; Column 2 lists the emails themselves; Column 3 is advertising ... I want to permanently WIDEN the (quite thin) Column 1 (Folder list) ... how do I do it? xxxxxx@y7mail.com
Hi there,
Unfortunately, it is not currently possible to widen this column but I have passed this suggestion on to our Product team.
Also, we advise users not to share any personal information, even email addresses, on public forums such as this one.

Inbox View Settings
Could your Techno Geeks, tweek the Inbox Settings, so that emails can be viewed & saved "By Sender" rather than "Latest arrival"? I have this feature on my other more serious business & personal email addresses. Thanks for considering this
Hi there,
Sorting by sender is available if the conversations feature is turned off. Please see how to disable conversations here:
https://en-global.help.yahoo.com/kb/new-mail-for-desktop/sln28055.htmlAfter disabling conversations, the “Sort by sender” option becomes available in the sort menu at the upper right of the message list.

on this new Y. mail, where are the "Options" ? I need and have paid for the Options !!
You can find the “More Settings” in Yahoo Mail by clicking on the small grey Gear icon off to the right (right above the side ad, while in your Yahoo Mailbox), and then looking towards the bottom of the menu.
If you can’t see it, you may need to scroll over to the right part of your screen or zoom out in your browser by holding down the CTRL key and pressing the – (minus sign) key.
Thank you!

If yahoo is not going to block the email addresses of the spammers why have that feature, its wasting our time
do it or take down this so called feature thats not working
You can mark these emails as Spam as opposed to blocking them. Because spammers can use a near-limitless number of addresses, it’s virtually impossible to block every one. Marking an email as spam not only blocks the sender but also logs the IP address it came from. Too much spam from a given IP and it can get blocked.

I have retired and I want to remove my "description" from my alias email
I can't see a place where I can remove my job description from my second email. The second one as a sending address was suggested several years ago when I was in community college and I've used it ever since. However, now that I am retired, I no longer need the job description to precede the email. Can you help me get that off the sending email? Your box just shows me "extra" and I cannot get to the settings for that. Thank you.
