Suggestion to Allow Retrieval of Deleted Emails and Contacts After Account Restoration
Hello Yahoo Team and Community,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to propose a feature that would significantly enhance the user experience for those who have had to restore their Yahoo accounts.
Proposal:
Allow users to retrieve all of their deleted emails and contacts after restoring their accounts using the same email address.
User Benefits:
When users regain access to their previously deactivated or lost accounts, having the ability to recover all deleted emails and contacts would be invaluable. This feature would ensure that important communications and connections are not permanently lost, providing users with a seamless transition back to their restored accounts.
Yahoo Benefits:
Implementing this policy would greatly improve user satisfaction and loyalty, showcasing Yahoo’s dedication to preserving and protecting user data. It would also strengthen Yahoo’s reputation as a reliable and user-centric email service provider.
Technical Considerations:
To implement this feature, Yahoo could introduce a secure backup system that temporarily stores deleted emails and contacts for a specified period. This system would ensure that data can be retrieved safely upon account restoration, following strict verification processes to confirm the user's identity.
Security Measures:
Given the importance of data security, this process should include multiple layers of verification, such as:
Confirming previous ownership through security questions or recovery information.
Using two-factor authentication to ensure the rightful owner is accessing the data.
Request for Consideration:
I respectfully request that Yahoo consider implementing this policy change. It would address a significant concern among users and further reinforce Yahoo’s commitment to user satisfaction and data integrity.
Willingness to Help:
I am more than willing to provide any additional information or feedback to support this suggestion. Thank you for considering this request.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing the thoughts of the Yahoo team and community members on this proposal.

I would like to emphasize that this feature could provide long-term benefits for both users and Yahoo. By allowing users to retrieve deleted emails and contacts after account restoration, Yahoo would demonstrate a strong commitment to user data preservation and reliability.
Additionally, to ensure the feasibility and effectiveness of this feature, Yahoo could consider implementing a pilot program. This would allow for testing and refining the process based on user feedback, ensuring that the final implementation meets the highest standards of security and user satisfaction.
Thank you for considering this proposal, and I am eager to see how this potential feature could positively impact the Yahoo community.
