  4. Please Change Yahoo’s .com/.ca Domain Policy and Fix the Lack of Accessible Support

    I have an old Microsoft account that’s linked to my Yahoo recovery email, but the domain is set to ".com" instead of ".ca." In the past, this wasn’t an issue because emails sent to either domain would arrive at my inbox. However, now emails sent to the ".com" domain bounce back as “mailbox not found.” I never received notice of this policy change, nor was there any guidance or assistance provided for such situations.
    This has left me unable to recover my Microsoft account because Yahoo offers no way to forward or redirect recovery emails from the ".com" domain to…

    Hi there! Sorry for the frustration. Unfortunately, it is normal to detect those 2 as different email addresses. Providing the exact email when needed is very important in this case. Sorry for the frustration.

  5. filter by reply address

    The filters fail on spam when the spammer fools around with the "from" address field to trick the filter by not matching the actual sender address. Instead, the "reply" address is shown.
    Here is an example in quotes:
    "From: Health Secrets Reply.FvUYdCa@KaZbUjN.goverritoric.com"
    We need the "from" filter to also apply to text contained in the "reply" portion of their address. This spammer is flooding my inbox using different prefixes. If I could filter by "goverritoric" it would catch every one, and I could send directly to trash.
    If we are looking to improve the filtering, could you also add…

    Hi there! Sorry to hear about the issue. We do have a way to block based on words contained in the sender name: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/block-unblock-email-addresses-yahoo-mail-sln28140.html. When selecting "From" we must also check "contains" and there you can put the desired word. If more assistance is needed, please feel free to check help.yahoo.com.

  6. Less jumpy scrolling of inbox. Gratitude to the Mail team.

    The new mail interface - specifically the scrolling through messages was very jumpy. Always would jump way further down and then I'd have to ladder my way back up. (I am willing to believe this is user error, but anyway it was frustrating.) I guess I voted with my feet- I switched back to the old version. Thank you for allowing this option (even though you may not be thrilled to hear it).Also while I am here I just want to thank you for continuing to offer this email function. I've been a user for coming up on about thirty…

  9. Put back quick menu item "Filter messages like this"!!

    I can not believe that you removed the quick menu link to filter messages. Instead of one click and pick a folder I have to go through the steps below. Not to mention, the "add new filter button isn't working in either Chrome or Edge at this moment. So I can't even add a filter at all. That was a RIDICULOUS change. Not to mention, by the time you get to adding the new filter information, unless you copied the email or subject to use, if you try to go back to email, you lose where you are at in…

  14. Please provide breaks in the mail i.e. using dates

    It can be very difficult to keep track of where I left off, as well as overwhelming to see no breaks in between. I prefer the breaks being separated by date like the old yahoo meal broke in between. This made it feel less continuous. The way it is now, it feels endless and easy to lose your spot. The old way, thanks to how it was separated by date, I could very easily find and locate mail at an eyeball's glance. Now it feels more cluttered with too much going on and not any good way to browse through…

  17. stop those verification codes if someone does not have 2 factor

    I do not have 2 factor. So stop those evil verification codes. I would like to use stronger language but I will keep it clean. You are making it EXTREMELY difficult for e to get into my emails. Your reasons are full of it. You are doing it just to have us pay for your help. Your HELP page is absolutely useless.
    I know my password, it is correct, otherwise you would not know which email to send the code. Unfortunately, that other email is also wanting a verification code to prove who I am . I can guarantee that…

  20. contacts

    I have my contacts synced to yahoo yet when I go to type a name in half the time it says the contact is not there. I tried creating a contact list and it says they're not there when I know they are and I've used these peoples contacts many times. I tried importing my contacts directly into yahoo but it only accept csv files which my phone does not create anymore, they use a vcf.
