  1. "Please, try again in one hour"

    I use this account for my business. Very often, when I want to log in, it tells me: "We are unable to process your request at this time. Please try again in 1 hour" Meanwhile my business partner is waiting for me to reply, or connect to a video call and the link is in my inbox. Very annoying.

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention. That sounds familiar. Yahoo may at times enforce a login wait to help ensure account security and privacy. There's no way for us to bypass this in the contact center, so we recommend waiting the prescribed amount of time. It's usually fairly short and you can then try logging in again. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

  4. getting signed out, when refreshing page and endless captchas!!

    I am constantly getting signed out of my account!
    I refresh the page to get a new email I'm expecting, then I have to tap on endless captchas - some of which I can't even SEE!!
    And what's with locking people out?
    I have a family member that hasn't been able to sign into her account for DAYS!!

  5. Autosave contacts not working

    I wrote an email to a person who is not saved in my address book. The address can be seen in Sent but is not saved. When I try to send a message to the same person again, the address is not filled in automatically. If I try to use the advanced search option and here I look for the address of that person, it does not exist, although the email sent in Sent is visible.

  6. filter

    Filter text is not removing html formatting before comparison. For instance, a word formatted bold will not match the same word manually entered.

  7. I am not able to receive recovery mails sent by Facebook. I think my mailbox was recycled. Please unsuppress FB so I can receive mails. TY

    My original email id was with '@yahoo.com' domain name. I used the same to create my FB account. Somewhere around 2013 my email id domain was changed from '@yahoo.com' to '@yahoo.in' by yahoo. Since then I have not received any messages from FB. It was not a problem until now. But now I need to receive recovery email from FB as I have forgotten my password to my FB account. FB says it has sent recovery code to my 'yahoo.com' id, but I don't receive it in my mailbox. PLEASEEE HEEELLLLP!!!!!

    Hi there. The correct email address would be the one that is able to receive emails. Please contact Facebook to see if they can help you update your email address on their side in order to receive their emails to the correct email address with the correct domain.

  9. FIX YAHOO CALENDAR - NOV 1ST IS NOT ELECTION DAY

    I am a poll worker and it scares me that people will look at the words Election Day on the Yahoo Calendar and show up at the polls on that day. You also have it on the proper day, so just remove Election Day from NOVEMBER 1.
    THANK YOU.

    Hi. I'm sorry to hear that! Due to contractual agreements and the nature of your issue, you'll need to contact AT&T for a resolution. When contacting AT&T support, it is very important that you provide your full AT&T email address so that they are able to successfully locate your account in their system. Here's how to contact them: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/account/sln25426.html

    You'll need to be signed into your account from a desktop PC or laptop at mail.yahoo.com, or on the Yahoo Mail app for Android or iOS first. Here are the steps:

    From a web browser:

    1. Sign in to the Yahoo Account Security page.
    2. Click Edit next to the verification option you want to delete.
    3. Click the Edit icon next to the recovery option you want to delete.
    4. Click Remove from my account.
    5. Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm the deletion.

    From most Yahoo mobile apps:

    1. In the upper left, tap your Profile icon.
    2. Tap Manage accounts.
    3. Tap Account info.
    4. Tap Security Settings.
    5. Tap Edit next to the verification option you want to delete.
    6. Tap the Edit icon next to the recovery option you want to delete.
    7. Tap Remove from my account.
    8. Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm the deletion.
  15. Why are some critical messages never delivered? This is an old problem and it's getting worse.

    Not receiving critical emails! AGAIN! So, I want to verify my email address with Lyft. They send me an email with a code, but I am not getting it. Yes, I checked in the spam folder and it's not there either. What the **** do I do now?

    I had the SAME issue with emails from two different landlords/leasing offices, several years apart. How likely are they to trust you if you tell them "I didn't get your email". And what is the point of using Yahoo mail if they are going to selectively block some of the most important…

  16. inquiry in case number 13208067 - Poor Service

    The agent there need to read and understand the issue first instead blindly bombarding with all the ready-made available solutions. So frustrating.

  17. re-enable addendums

    I've typically always signed up for services by using my email with an addendum. i.e. email+addendum@yahoo.com

    This is a feature that used to work, and still currently works on many other platforms like gmail, iCloud, and outlook; but now no longer works on yahoo. It had made me miss many emails and has caused me nothing but problems to not have such a universal feature.

  19. 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!

  20. Cannot receive email from hotmail on the computer

    I cannot receive an email from my hotmail.com on the computer. I sent a hotmail email to ymail email from the computer, the hotmail email only showed up in the Yahoo app on the Samsung phone. I did not block it in Yahoo mail settings nor did I get any delivery error in my Microsoft email account. The hotmail email does not show up on the computer. I have tried many times to delete the contact and add a new contact and it is still not working. It is a problem with your software. Please fix the bugs. Thanks.
