  1. settings to remove unused features

    Please at least add an option to remove
    the menu strips along the top area for those
    who never use them:

    ONE
    home...mail...news...etc

    TWO:
    The listing of emails across the top...

    THREE: Reduce height of search bar by at least half.

    As it is I have barely half the page to view emails.

    It's as if your testing the levels of frustration needed
    to see when users will abandon the service. I know I'm on the
    edge.

  4. Contact list not working - can't create or delete

    Contact list not working - can't create or delete
    It says I have created and saved the contact, yet they do not come up in a search. I end up entering them multiple times, and then it does not give me the option to delete the multiple entries, if they do go through

  6. Allow for recovery of erased emails from back-ups

    Please restore old emails! No notice given; have been on yahoo mail for 20 years; emails from deceased parents with family history gone! It would be a great option to have ability to recover erased emails from back-ups. I use Yahoo email for long-term content & historical tracking, with other email for day to day and another for work. Yahoo's unilateral decision to erase my data has left me at an extreme loss!

  7. Do not use the spam filter for censorship

    I would like to report that Yahoo’s spam filter is so defective that I cannot believe that it is an accident. I have a family member that I contact regularly. His emails often but not always get put in the spam folder. I tried to disable the spam filter but I have found no setting that allows disabling the spam filter. Quite often I will send a message to him, and the spam filter will put his response in the spam folder. The absolute simplest thing would be to recognize that if I initiate an email, and get a reply…

  9. add "forward email as an attachement" option so suspicious emails cen be investigated better..

    Many companies ask you to forward a suspicious email as an attachment, so they can investigate it easier.
    Please can this be added?

    Thanks in advance.

  10. Trying to cancel account - pro subscription blocks you for 90 days after subscription, even if you are not asking for refund

    Enable a person to cancel account, regardless if they have an active subscription - as long as they acknowledge this.

  12. Why can't I view comments?

    It's strange commenting that Trump won is censored. It has no context nor references any particular event or vote. It's not a lie it's fact. Trump won the 2016 election apparently yahoo doesn't like that fact either. He has won many times in court. So tell me why I can't view and make comments. Apparently saying Trump won is worse than a lib calling a conservative a pedophile. Yahoo gave me no actual reason as to why they reject my comments and definitely no reason why they blocked me from viewing comments or making comments. It seems like I might…

  13. Spam filter ineffective

    This is not about the search engine- rather it’s about the sheer volume of spam that I’ve been getting over the past few months. You need to do more to stop it or I will change my email over to google

  15. Read deep into this suggestion guys

    Take political leaning ads off and I won't block them anymore using brave browser. Otherwise, thank god for Brave, to block the FAR LEFT themes. You do realize half the country is not liberal and forcing it down their throat only causes you to LOSE customers and otherwise profitable viewers, right? Joseph Goebbels much? Ever read the bible verse to examine the log in your own eye before pointing it out in another like calling those that don't adhere to your far left ideologies "fascists", etc... Get a clue purple hair is the new, modern day swastikas.... Book burning, censorship…

  16. Adding a new or different email address. Make it a single process and NOT all over the place!!!!!

    I have been on my system for OVER an hour 1/2 trying to complete what I thought was going to be a simple task. All I wanted to do was ADD a 2nd Yahoo email address. I have click, and click, and clicked and click and followed every direction to make this happen but here I am an hr. 1/2 later and I still can not get this done. I go on your so-called chat that find it to be ABSOLUTELY USELESS!!!!!!!! This a screen pops up giving you a number to call 800.320.9335. Guess what you get there .…

  17. STOP having the 'make more room' ad EACH time I look at my mail. If not, I will not find it hard to use another mail service.

    you have me "X" out each time I see each one of my emails. Each time. SO if I have 100 emails..... I do not wish to pay for my email to have 'more room'.

  18. Remove the podcast show (Baga, Blu & Vinegar)

    on behalf of all Arabs and Muslims around the world, I demand to remove the banner which promotes Yahoo podcast called (Baga, Blu & Vinegar) which is presented by trans people. allow me to tell you that this is considered so offensive, inappropriate and unacceptable for our Muslim community which exceeds 1.8 billion people around the world, as we don't recognize gay, lesbian and trans as part of our culture.
