    Your computer or browser settings could make it difficult to use Full-featured Yahoo Mail. If your system doesn’t meet these requirements, you’ll be automatically switched to Basic Mail for better performance. More details here: help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN15090.html

  2. Where did the option to see the headers go? I USED that!

    1. Where did the option to see the headers go? I USED the "headers" option to see where people were so I wouldn't get scammed. It worked, every time, and I turned several people in to the authorities. I do NOT like what Verizon has done with Yahoo!

    2. Where did my disposable email addresses go? I do not see them, and your "help" response was not helpful in the least!!

    3. By the way, your response to taking away online Yahoo Games, which was to keep up with the times and help people socialize MORE is exactly backward. It took away MILLIONS…

    Hello there. Once you have deleted your emails from the Trash folder as well, they will remain on our servers for 7 more days (you can recover them in this time frame). After 7 days, you emails are deleted forever.

    The Trash folder is located on the left side menu. You can delete emails by clicking on the Trash icon that appear on the right side of your emails (while you’re hovering over the list) or by selecting an email then click Delete.

  6. I lost my original account (************)

    ********is the same person as ********. I am now having to work on computer or tablet instead of my android phone. You have mistakenly started me a new student instead of one with 195 consecutive days of work (not counting the 23 plus 3 days lossed due to Internet problems). Again, as of today 26July I have 195 day and I use *as my user name. My email address is**************** or ****************. Sprint has asked me to do this work on anything
    other than my phone due to plan usage. Please connect the dots Pegianne is GiGi.

  7. "Trash"/"Deleted" e-mails

    I'm trying to figure out how to keep ALL of my deleted e-mails that are in my trash. I found out that if I delete an e-mail, that deleted e-mail is only in there for a couple days. I looked everywhere to try to figure out how to change that with NO luck. I've even tried sending an e-mail to "help" and I can't even do that.

  10. When I save a draft email, the "new message" alert pops up.

    When I save a draft email, the "new message" alert pops up. It's a draft I've created, it's not a new incoming message. I have to check the inbox every time to see if it's a new message or a false alarm.

  11. This is not improved, but ********.

    Can you please advise what improvements you've made to Yahoo Mail? All I can see are neglected things, such as removing drag n drop of attachments, omitting keystrokes, and slow performance. Sigh!

  12. Every message I try to send is flagged as looking like spam and rejected. INCLUDING one with the single word test to a gmail account.

    Every message I try to send is flagged as looking like spam and rejected. INCLUDING one with the single word 'test' to a gmail account.

    There appears to be no way to get out of this. 25+ year old account is now useless.

  13. Deleted emails on iphone keep coming back

    For some reason, when I delete emails from my iphone, they come back. I can never keep up with my inbox since I get inundated with new emails and recently deleted emails. I can't keep up. I am thinking of switching to gmail.

  18. Eliminate the link preview when writing a email

    The preview is very annoying and in my opinion unnecessary. I have already turned it off in settings but it keeps popping up. Please eliminate this feature or at least fix so when it is turned off it doesnt show up at all

  20. I don;t want to have to put in an account key everytime I sign in. My husband and I set up a joint account...

    I don't want to have to sign in with an account key everytime I log in. My husband and I set up a joint "family" email that we use for the kids' activities, school, joint bills and rewards programs (think promotional % off emails and coupons as well as our amazon prime, etc.) This account key thing can only be linked to one phone at a time so it royally messes up our system. Especially when you have to wait. We already have a password...I don't need yet another layer or more complication in our lives. It's super annoying.
