    When I open the Yahoo Mail app (on iPad) now an ad pops up and covers the entire screen. There is no way to close it or x out of it, so I can no longer access my email using the app. It makes the app totally useless. This started after the most recent update to the app.

    If you pay, you’ll get the exact same amount of spam. Ask anybody who pays, there’s 1000 complaints on this useless forum.

    Get it together, I am not paying $6.99 a month to do your job which is to BLOCK SPAM! What the actual F?! I've used yahoo for over 25 years, this is a disgrace!

    Why should anyone trust Yahoo a 2nd time when they cannot get the account correct and then doesn't REFUND all the FRAUDULENT ERRONEOUS $$ paid!!!!!!!

  • Dr T :} Tania H Reese, PhD commented  ·   ·  Report

    STOP INVASIVE POP UP When Yahoo cannot get the account correct why should anyone trust them again!!! Wish I could go back and maybe I could get all my $$$ back. !!!!

    IT SUCKS that I cannot view airline reservations and NUMBER OF OTHER IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPID LITTLE ADVERTISEMENT FOR PLUS MAIL.

    I tried that stupid thing once and for 6 months or more you charged for it WHEN IT WAS ON THE WRONG BLOODY ACCOUNT!
    I had to pull teeth to get some of the $$ back.

    I WILL NOT DO THAT AGAIN -- even numerous calls to your "help Center" (Hahaha) did not get ANY results. That stupid little pop-up is a pain in the BUTT.

    It is an infringement on my ability to see communications and it SUCKS!!!!!!!

    This is not an idea. Which genius in Yahoo decided to come up with the great idea to extort email users by simply allowing, or dare say, even sending the unwanted ads themselves to move to a paid "premium" model?? I am preparing a brief to the FTC on this action.

    Do not allow scam/virus ridden ads to post in my inbox. You have made it so I cannot use my ad removal program so that means that it is now your responsibility to keep my inbox clean of ads that are infected. I use currently ATT.

    No one wants to be Scammed, and even with the best filter systems today with AI being used by criminals to attack their victims 24/7 SCAM & PHISHING emails are getting through. not just once but often, Some Patterns are easy for past victims to recognize and report to help your system Quickly identify and eliminate threats. A SCAM button would improve your system for every user in all your system.

  • Christopher A Eilertsen commented  ·   ·  Report

    You have a Spam button. You sholud also add a SCAM button! This will help to Identify and contain The Criminals trying to SCAM your customers.

    Your documentation says that if I report an incoming email as spam it helps Yahoo "learn" and refine its spam detection algorithm. This is absolutely not true. ALL the spam I get (and report) follows such easily identifiable patterns that any human coder could easily recognize and filter. For example, Every email where the subject line has anything but plain text is spam (italics, bold, graphics, etc.)... For me, that rule is 100%. Even if your custom filtering rules were more flexible I could just program that myself. So, feedback: FIX THE SPAM REPORTING/FILTERING ALGO. It's broken, or doesn't even exist.

    I see countless complaints about spam, which are mainly ignored. Continuing to tell people to “mark each as spam”, is really infuriating. It’s your job to stop the spam, which is absolutely possible, because Google, and ICloud, don’t have this issue.

  • cromick Michael mccro commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am beyond sick and tired of having to mark 6-8 emails EVERY SINGLE DAY as spam. Why can't you be like Gmail? I get ZERO spam with then.
    THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!

    Better spam filters needed. Why can't we block a domain?

  • Ken Bourne commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please stop all spam from the domain @chefly.com
