  1. Yahoo Mail

    Why In the world won't you just leave Yahoo Mail ALONE. It is fine just the way it is--it does not need any improvements--I DON'T WANT ANY IMPROVEMENTS--leave it alone. W.L.F.

  2. UI/iOS

    I was told to use this link for feedback on an error I am having with the iOS app. When it is uninstalled and reinstalled, it is not opening up as the recent newly updated UI for Yahoo Mail. Instead it downloads and opens up as the old interface that is reminiscent of AOL mail’s app that nobody loves.

    I really like the new iOS UI for the Yahoo Mail app and would like it back, please look into this.

  4. Improve your documentation on how to integrate an email client with Yahoo's servers

    Your documentation at https://help.yahoo.com/kb/new-yahoo-mail/imap-server-settings-yahoo-mail-sln4075.html on how to setup an email client (such as Thunderbird) to use the Yahoo email services is incomplete. Your documentation does not describe what the User Name for logging in should be, for example should it be just the username alone "name" or the full email address "name@yahoo.com".

    Nor does your documentation describe what the authentication method should be set to. I am guessing OAuth2.

    Something else is also missing because after trying all the variants of these parameters I still cannot get Thunderbird to receive or send email through the Yahoo email servers.

  5. Yes we can

    It would be much appreciated if a proof of the recipient opening the email be available to the sender. Judicial Courts in Canada often require this proof to authorize pursuing a cause in justice.
    Thanks.

  6. See my suggestion

    I have my email sorted into the 4 catagories - Primary, Transactions, Updates, Promotions. The Promotions is where I direct all junk mail. This really fills up fast from all the junk mail I receive. Currently I have to select each one seperately to delete them. Please give us an option to select ALL so
    We can delete them all at once! Thank you.

  7. Blocking spammers

    Need the ability to block entire domains of known spammers and phishers. Certain domains are 100% sketchy, yet Yahoo customer service is telling me I need to upgrade to Yahoo Plus to have this tool. That said, Yahoo knows there are unscrupulous folks trying to take advantage of Yahoo customers, yet not letting their own customers get the best protection. Sad state

  11. Don't tell one thing and then don't follow through...

    Why do you people say "Please try again later" and when I do, the same thing happens again and I can't access my account? I'm thinking of switching to another email system after this happens again!!!!

  12. emails

    Sometimes it locks me out and deletes my emails and I do not get all my emails. You can programme it so that people are not locked out of their emails by third parties. That would be a welcome idea. Having 404 is a no no

  15. Lack of previous "sorting" protocol

    I need you to put back the e-mail sorting protocol for "Subject", as it is better in a lot of cases where sorting my 'sender' doesn't work for me.

  16. Spam filter should not be limited to 500

    I would sign up for Yahoo Mail Plus in a heartbeat if it included unlimited amount of spam filters. 500 is not enough these days....

  17. overseas access to email

    I go overseas, snowbird, and last Christmas I could not access my email because I have a US phone that doesnt work overseas and could not get a verification code.I had no recourse and was damaged with no email access. Dont say use international roamin, that would require a new phone and a higher costly plan, already checked. The solution is to not put me on an auto 2-step verification but no human to talk to. This never happened before.

  18. block sender quantity increase

    Increase the number of blocked sender beyond 1000 or list then by date instead of alphabetically so we can clear the oldest from the list to get below 1000 and then can add more.

  19. Show Total email count (read + unread) in yahoo mail

    In 2025, Yahoo Mail remains one of the only major email providers that does not offer a setting to show the total (read + unread) message count as a badge next to your Inbox folder. This display is hardcoded to show only unread messages. Simple suggestion.

  20. Would like the option to list total no of emails in my inbox (unread + read = total) - All other email facilities have this why not Yahoo!?

    According to AI when I asked if you (Yahoo email) have the option to list the total number of emails not just unread emails as the number shown beside the inbox tab it replied the following:

    "In 2025, Yahoo Mail remains one of the only major email providers that does not offer a setting to show the total (read + unread) message count as a badge next to your Inbox folder. This display is hardcoded to show only unread messages. "

    Yeah...so I tried to find the option that you alone dont offer. I would think that was a basic…
