WHY IS YAHOO MAIL PRO PLACING NEW MESSAGE IN ARCHIVE WITHOUT HAVING THEM APPEAR FIRST IN MY INBOX? THIS STINKS AND IS NOT WORTH $35 A YEAR.
YAHOO MAIL IS PLACING NEW MAIL IN THE ARCHIVE FOLDER AND HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR SIX MONTHS. I STUMBLED ON THE MISTAKE TODAY. YOU OWE ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR LOST BUSINESS FROM MY PRO ACCOUNT AND THAT MEANS MY MAIL SERVICE SHOULD BE FREE FOR STARTERS.
I would check the filters on your account to see if something i set up there to deliver email to the Archive folder..

disposable email
You need to add the ability for a user to delete the entirety of their disposable email address. The instructions for creating a disposable email address are not clear that creating a "base name" is a one-time process, and not something you do each time you create a disposable email address. I have an email address I have had for about 20 years, and you are telling me the ONLY way to change a mistakenly made "base name" is to delete my Yahoo account and make a new one. Very poor.
For information on how to remove your disposable email address, please go here: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN15953.html

Yahoo email is horrible and they're not listening to the feedback!
Yahoo mail is doing just too much and it's horrible. When signing in to access your free Yahoo email, now you have to have a code sent to your phone or to an alternate email to get your email. I understand the need for security, but this is just too much! You are showing way too many ads and $35 a month for mail pro is just ridiculous. Slowly but surely, I'll be leaving Yahoo because you're not listening to feedback which shows Yahoo doesn't care about their users.
If there’s something unusual about your sign in or recent activity, we’ll ask you to go through another verification step after you’ve entered the correct password. This helps protect your account from unauthorized access. You may be prompted to get a verification code on your Yahoo app, recovery phone number, or recovery email address for any of the following reasons: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN8923.html

Filters do not work very often.
The filters do not work very often. I have created multiple versions for some emails and they still keep showing up in my inbox. Even ones I created a long time ago only work occasionally. Why is this so hard?
Often times, filters won’t work because they are too specific, or too broad. Double check your filter parameters to make sure you aren’t being too precise or too vague.
Also, keep in mind that filters work on position: filters at the top of the list will take priority over lower ones. Our Spam filters also override any filters on the account, so if something is deemed to be Spam, it will ignore filters on the account and go there.

Cannot block spam because your block changes the spam email address and inserts a % instead of @. No quality control at Yahoo.
Cannot block spam because your block changes the spam email address and inserts a % instead of @. No quality control at Yahoo.
Currently, you can’t block domains in New Mail. Since spammers use so many different addresses to send junk, it’s best to mark these emails as Spam rather than trying to block every domain. This helps our system block these emails better in the future.
Our Spam filters override any filters on the account, so if something is deemed to be Spam, it will ignore filters and blocked addresses on the account and go there.
Thank you!

Password Change Process
Why is changing a password so hard? I had gotten a notification on my phone saying that someone logged into my account, I successfully removed the person off my account but as I was in the process of changing my password all that came up was "use your email" or "use your phone" to sign in. This is helpful to use but that's not what I wanted. I want to change my password and every time I tried to it doesn't give me the option I'm looking for. I don't want to be linked to that help page either because…
You can use our automated password recovery system at any time, see https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN2051.html for more info.

Please provide an option to disable the "Most Popular Videos" screen on an empty inbox
When my inbox is empty the "most popular videos" screen comes up in the new Yahoo email. It's so annoying! Please provide a way to disable this in settings. I've seen other comments along this same line and the comments section for these suggestions is closed. That's not fair, either! As you roll out the new Yahoo email, there needs to be a way to comment on others' suggestions. I really hate the Videos screen. Thanks for reading.
If you dislike the videos from your Yahoo Mail page, you can disable them, including the ads, by purchasing the Yahoo Mail Pro: https://pro.mail.yahoo.com/?lang=en-US
