block offensive ads permanently
Give me the ability to permanently block certain ads. Case in point, there is a thoroughly disgusting toe fungus ad that keeps playing DAILY in the right side bar of my news feed. This ad is REPULSIVE! And no matter how many times I cancel it, and comment that the ad is inappropriate and I don't want to see it any more, it still pops up DAILY. Sometimes I am eating and reading email and this ad makes my want to puke! Yahoo - please get your sh!!! together! Allow us to permanently block offensive ads. PLEASE!!!!!!!! DO SOMETHING!
The ads you see on Yahoo help keep our services free of charge. Your ad feedback is important to us, as it helps us identify bad ads and adjust those we show in the future. For more info, please visit our help article: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN25244.html

Feature to block spam email
Yahoo mail was allowing a person to block spam email on a permanented base. By that I mean I could click on the 3 dots next to the spam link and I was given a choice of a choice to stop these types of emails from being sent to my email address. This was working great and now that feature has been removed. Why? You were able to look at the email ID and or the URL and see that it was going to cause malware. Why was this removed?
Hi. If the limit of 1000 blocked addresses has been reached, the option will disappear from the drop-down.
Spammers are constantly evolving their practices and blocking their email addresses does not help, as they are mostly sending emails from spoofed addresses or they send the same content but from different email addresses, which makes it look like they are coming from the same email address.
Marking them as Spam teaches your personal filter to recognize them as Spam. I'm sorry there is no quick fix for this issue!

reminders
I see many do not want reminders, however if it is switchable on or off with controls such repeat with a set date or not , it has a value. I need a way or reminder to follow-up on sent or received emails.
Hi there. This option is available on Yahoo Mail Plus. More details here: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/overview-yahoo-mail-sln35630.html

phone number for recovery. don't have a cell or mobile phone
Please accept a landline phone for recovery. I don't have a Cell or mobile phone and don't plan on getting one. Says it's now required when an alternate email should be enough. If a phone is required, then accept a landline as well. There should be a choice. If a phone is required, make it accessible for all
In the current version of Yahoo you are required to provide a mobile phone number to protect your online safety. It's important to have updated information should you ever need to change your account settings, reset your password or contact Yahoo customer support.

Block sender
What happened to "block sender". I used to be able to check all spam emails, click on the 3 dots on the right of the actions and get a drop down with block senders as an option. Click on that and they are all blocked at once. Other option was to individually block each spam email, a more tedious task but at least could block. Now both blocking methods are gone. WHY? I get the same obnoxious phishing emails daily, along with weird email ads for things I would never want. How do I make it go away?

blocked emails
Why do I keep getting emails from places I have already blocked.
Verify that you have the exact address in the blocked address field. Also keep in mind that emails filtered as spam will bypass any filters on the account and go straight to the Spam folder.

Stop making me change my password. Too many ******* passwords to remember. If I want to use an old password that's MY business. Stop being such *about it. It's just a throwaway email. Get over yourselves.

Have a way for me to talk to someone about a problem with your email platform that doesn't require me to pay
Have a way for me to talk to someone about a problem with your email platform that doesn't require me to pay. Example: I have a yahoo account set up to automatically forward emails to another account (which is a feature no longer supported for free users, but it's still going for me). I want to stop the forwarding, but without paying for Plus I can't access those settings anymore and I can't talk to a person to fix this issue (that should not be happening because, again, automatic forwarding was supposedly disabled for free users over a year ago)
Hi there. Once you remove your forwarding email address, you won't be able to re-add it in the free version of Yahoo Mail. You can always contact us at help.yahoo.com or on Twitter at @YahooCare if you need additional help or you have other concerns. Thank you!

Stop asking me to Secure my account
I have had my account over 20 years and almost always check my email daily. In the last 3 months I have had to change my password three times. I don't care to change the password AGAIN because you guys fail to keep our information secure. Passwords don't have to be strong, if you guys do your jobs right. They are just emails. If I have to change my password again, I will be closing my account for good. Twenty years be damned!!!!!

Block email/domain limit more than 1000 as phising/spam senders increase
Email recieved more than 1000 senders with spam/phising emails and with the increase in domain/account creations for spam and phising emails to come from, 1000 limit either needs to be increased or removed and replaced with unlimited number to block.
Make sure you're only getting emails from the sources you want. Block domains by using the Settings view in Yahoo Mail. Once you block a domain you will also be unsubscribed from the brand. Here's how: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/block-email-messages-domain-sln35650.html
