keeps deleting emails that I haven't read
When going through my emails I always mark as read before deleting them. Have noticed more and more emails being sent to trash that I haven't read, but have seen in my inbox. No idea how they are getting there. Really frustrating as I have to go through my inbox and trash folders just to make sure I've not missed anything. Will have to move to Outlook. They don't seem to change format ever 2 minutes and I don't have this issue there

Please check the filters on the account to make sure there isn’t one set up that might make your emails go to the trash folder: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN15994.html
In case you do not have any incoming mail filters set-up on your Yahoo account, please check the incoming mail filters, and junk mail filter, in the mail applications that you are using (e.g. Outlook, Mac Mail, Windows Mail, Thunderbird, mobile email application).

Improve your algorithims to stop sending mails straight to deleted folder. Send to inbox or spam but not to deleted!

THIS IS FEEDBACK: After a password change to my Yahoo Mail account, all the e-mail is now AUTOMATICALLY sent to trash; WHY?

Some incoming emails are going directly to the trash folder rather than the inbox. There seems to rhyme or reason for which emails are being treated in this way. It has caused me to miss some important communications. Just this morning, for example, there were four new emails in the trash folder. Why is this happening?

In the past, all my incoming email want directly to my in box. About a month ago random emails would land in the archived box. I did not mark them to archive, I see now that they were automatically marked as to be archived. Not sure how or why but please stop it!

My emails have been going into my Archive folder every since I updated Yahoo. Need to know how to get my income emails to come into my Inbox. I am unable to apply to messages that cam to the Archive folder.

It appears Yahoo would be better accepted if it paid closer attention to what these commenters have said about your product and its obvious far left leaning attitude...try being JUST a little bit more honest occasionally!
Personally I would also add, it would be refreshing if you wouldn't keep messing with Yahoo Email...now my new mail comes into my "TRASH" section. Go figure that one out... -

Luc Laurin commented
My emails are sent to the TRASH automatically, I have tried to redirect them into the INBOX. I have read all the options listed here but I can't find a solution.

Stop archiving all incoming mail. Even archives my contact list incoming mail.

I have valid contacts in my contact list that constantly have their mail to me dumped in the trash. I see nothing in my filters to prevent their mail from showing up in my Inbox and all the entries are ok. What is going on?

S Clements commented
NO, I do NOT have filters on.
Sent a message to Yahoo asking for help, and HOURS later got an auto reply saying no help for this issue, but read these random help pages. Which I already tried. What a worthless app and company.
EDIT: and of course, Yahoo merges this with an old thread where many others are complaining about this, with the completely useless answer to check filters. WHICH I DON'T HAVE ON.

There are no FAQs or help on this problem: Most email from just SEARS are going into TRASH, yet have zero filters set. Why? What are steps for me to correct this problem. Is it that Yahoo mail server has a filter set INCORRECTLY to do this and affects MANY yahoo users?
