emails gone
I admit I have not logged into this email account for a while, maybe about six months or so, but I come back and see that all my emails are gone? That is kinda one of the most basic things an email service is supposed to do isn't it? Hold onto emails? And if you guys were going to dump all my emails it seems like I should of gotten some notice or some warning... or some chance to save those emails.
I hope yahoo will be able to resolve this matter.
If an account is unused or dormant for 12 months, it is deactivated and its emails are deleted, more info here: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN2018.html
If this does not apply to you, You can try doing a search or doing an email restore if the email was deleted in the past 7 days.

In case you are using a mail client such as Outlook or the Native mobile app, emails may be deleted by that third party client. We do recommend accessing your mail via http://yahoo.com or the Yahoo Mail app to avoid this issue.

The fact that I have shiny empty folders doesn't really make me feel happy when you've eaten all my actual emails!
I am also impressed with the list of companies you want to automatically give my data away to!
I HAVE A BACKUP EMAIL ADDRESS WHY ON EARTH WOULD YAHOO DELETE WITHOUT WARNING. POOR POOR SERVICE!!

First, you lock me out (possible due to breach).
Then, when you let me back in, you delete my emails.
Shame on you.
Moving to gmail. -

I have my yahoo forward to my iCloud email. AND YAHOO DELETES all your emails if you don't log in for 12 months. UNBELIEVABLE. I will spend all my time to make sure everyone knows this is the worst product of all time. Which it is, which is why no one uses it

I log into my yahoo account after a long time and I see all my emails are gone. This is so annoying that you guys can remove all the emails without even notifying once that you are going to take such action? What is the purpose of having another email and phone number on account if you are not going to inform the user about this. I really need my data back. So please let me know a solution.

No way of reporting or fixing the problem without paying. And do you know how my old display disappeared? Because I volunteered my e-mail and phone number for recovery purposes. No good deed goes unpunished!

Dear Sir/ Madam,
All my emails since 2001 have suddenly disappeared….
At yahoo I have given a 2nd email address and my phone number as well. Those (contact) details were supposingly given in order not to have any problem with future/ security logins etc…
I use no 3rd party app in yahoo, flickr is the only service I use and always I access directly through my laptop...My last login as you can see at the screenshot is less than 6 months...at March 29, 2019 at 6:27 AM
https://**************Without any notice from your side, you deleted all my emails. My contacts are there.Meanwhile my email account was never de-activated or deleted.
So something is going wrong with your servers because I have done everything right according to your regulations!
I do need all my email back…
Waiting for a valid answer/ solution…Regards,

Be aware since this is not documented anywhere: yahoo will delete your old mails without any prior notification. I found my older emails had disappeared and in a chat with the support team was told that there is a 5000 email limit (see no reference to that anywhere) and that they delete old stuff when they upgrade. So, if you're counting on Yahoo keeping your old stuff, don't! Sad that this is not something they document anywhere and that they don't send any notification so you have no opportunity to download your mails first. Note that in my case it is not an old account - I have been using it every day for 20 years!

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is still the right channel to seek help. There's no option on the new help-site to compose a certain issue and it needs to fall on a certain category there. I need tech support to recover my files and emails on my account. 3 days ago, I was able to recover my yahoo account, which I haven't visit for a very long time since last year, 2018 for the record. Unfortunately, after retrieving this/my yahoo account, all emails and docs are gone. I'm currently using Gmail and keeping my yahoo account (btw it was my very first email acct) as a backup email.
The photos, other files, and documents in there are important to me and there should be a prompt to my end or notification if my acct is heading for a reset. Even my trash, customized folders are gone or set back to basics. One thing remained for sure are my contacts. Can you please look into this and help me. This is so frustrating!
