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!

Stop cluttering my calendar with ALL of the "special days". I am not interested in them even if you are and they cannot be deleted.
Just this week (typical) there is "Soverneignty Restoration Day" and "Barack Obama Day on my calendar. I do not want those kind of stuff cluttering my calendar!
Hi there. In the full view of the Yahoo Calendar, you can unfollow the holidays you do not find relevant for you, by clicking the drop down arrow from the left side menu from the My Calendars or Holidays.

unsubscribe
I didn't see this mentioned previously, so here it goes... I have a ridiculous number of emails -- in particular of political ads -- which (rightfully) wind up in my SPAM folder. However, I really would like to UNSUBSCRIBE from these mailings to stop receiving them altogether. The problem: You seemingly cannot click on the "unsubscribe" button in emails sitting in your SPAM box. You have to go through the trouble of hitting MOVE to get the offending email into you INBOX and only then can click on "unsubscribe." Is this something Yahoo can fix, i.e., can you let people…

Changing Birthday
It is bothering me that I cannot change my birthday. As said in other ideas, I have been using this email for years, it would be much easier to be able to change my birthday rather than have to make a new account and resubscribe and change my emails on many matters. Even if you only have one chance to change it - it would be so much easier!
For security reasons, it isn't possible to update or change the date of birth listed on your Yahoo account, even if you entered it incorrectly when you first registered your account. You'll need to open a new account if you'd like your account to reflect your accurate info.

ymail
I got hacked on Instagram and the only way to recover my account is from my ymail account. But it was deleted due to being inactive, & I cannot sign up new ymail account also. Why creating ymail at first if you're going to neglect the old users about it? Please help me to at least sign up a new ymail account
If an account is unused or dormant for 12 months, it is deactivated. More info here: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/sln2018.html You will not be able to reactivate it or re-create the same email address, however, you can always sign up for a new Yahoo account at mail.yahoo.com. I'm sorry this is not the response you hoped for!

why can't i receive the confirmation code from facebook.
why can't i receive the confirmation code from facebook.
If you’re trying to regain access to a social media account using your Yahoo account, but aren’t receiving the recovery email, you may be using a recycled Yahoo email address. Your old Yahoo account may have been closed due to inactivity, and later that same username became available again for you or any new user to claim as their own. To prevent identity theft, Yahoo may not allow recovery emails to be sent to recycled email addresses. In this situation, you can only reach out to the third-party company for more help.

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?
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!
