  3. delete

    Delete single email button.
    In the new format the delete single email button was moved to the far right. As you are looking at emails the eye is drawn to the left half of screen. That is where the sender info and beginning of subject is. When the delete button was on the left you eye and your cursor is in that area making it easier to click delete in that area. Now that it is on the far right your eye is looking left but to delete you have to navigate to the far right to delete a message.…

    If you want to delete groups of emails at once, check out our Tips and Tricks post:

    https://forums.yahoo.net/t5/Tips-and-tricks/Delete-all-emails-in-Yahoo-Mail-at-once/td-p/450154/jump-to/first-unread-message

    Keep in mind that the Spam and Trash folder empty themselves at random intervals throughout the week. To hold onto emails longer, it’s better to Archive them instead. Archived emails are never deleted unless you do so manually.

    Sometimes when emails reappear after being moved/deleted or suddenly move to the Trash, it’s due to syncing issues between the account and a mail app. If you access the account through a non-Yahoo app, you may want to remove the account from the device and re-add it to resolve any future syncing issues.

  5. lost my password.

    One can no longer recover one's password. All that's available is having a code sent to one's phone and then typing in the code. This has locked me out of my netflix account as it keeps asking for my yahoo password (it's linked to my yahoo account.) I am in the process of moving all of my important email out of yahoo and into gmail. Then I will close this account. Extraordinarily stupid, not to mention it's discriminatory towards people without smart phones (like my mother).

    Hi there,

    This help page explains how to switch back:

    help.yahoo.com/kb/switch-back-previous-vers..

    Please be sure you click on the settings wheel in Mail, not in Help. We have found that some users are trying to make the change to switchback to classic Mail in help.yahoo.com rather than in Mail.yahoo.com. You will not find the option to switchback in Help. You will find it in Mail.

    Thank you!

    The language setting on an account is determined by where the account was registered and can’t be changed currently. If your language changed suddenly to something, let us know on our forums and we can investigate this further for you:

    You can access contacts by clicking on the icon on the upper right side (rectangle with three small squares). This will open Contacts in a new tab of your browser in the classic mail look.
    You can also access your contacts by clicking on To, CC or BCC when you are in the compose, forward or reply mode, or by going to contacts.yahoo.com.

  13. spam

    It used to be that I could notify you about an email I thought you should check out. I think it was a subcategory of marking it as spam. E.g. Just got an email from mailer daemon saying they couldn't deliver a message. The problem is I never sent the msg AND I've never heard of the person it couldn't reach. I wanted to send this to you to see if my account has been hacked. I marked it as spam and it just disappeared. NOT what I had in mind happening. Fix it so we have easy access to…

    If you’re suddenly getting a lot of Spam email in your inbox, you can check out this post for more info:

    https://forums.yahoo.net/t5/Tips-and-tricks/Getting-lots-of-spam-in-Yahoo-Inbox/td-p/329507/jump-to/first-unread-message

    If emails from legitimate senders are going to Spam, make sure to marked them as Not Spam, as opposed to just moving them out of the Spam folder. If the sender is a company or a corporate address, It also be helpful for them to reach out to our Postmaster team (postmaster.yahoo.com)

  14. DELAYS in receiving emails!

    About every other day, my incoming emails are delayed for HOURS! All day long, i'll check for emails...then in the evening, i'll receive 6+ and all h have time stamps from hours earlier that day! This is unacceptable. I see others post this comment/complaint...yet their complaint is noted as "complete" and you cant vote on it and escalate the issue any higher! TERRIBLE

  18. Change the name that appears on my outgoing emails

    There is no way for me to change the name on the outgoing emails from our Yahoo Small Business account. I've tried all of the ways that the support team have given me, which look like they work until I send an email and the recipient still thinks they are talking with my boss instead of me. Solutions on the support site either don't work (https://forums.yahoo.net/t5/Yahoo-Help-Community/ct-p/english), or are broken links (https://forums.yahoo.net/t5/Tips-and-tricks/Sent-emails-show-wrong-name-in-Yahoo-Mail/td-p/445701/jump-to/first-unread-message). I'm pretty disappointed in this service that as far as i know we are paying $70 a year for.
