    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.

    Thank you!

    The contacts missing are most likely those from social media. The export process adds only email addresses that were added in Yahoo Mail manually or the auto-added ones.

    The Sending Name for the account can only be changed from the desktop web version of Yahoo Mail, and not from a mobile device. Follow these steps below to change it.
     
    In New Mail:
    1. Sign in to Yahoo Mail.
    2. Mouse over the Settings menu icon (Gear) | select More Settings.
    3. Click Mailboxes.
    4. Click on the Yahoo email account.
    5. Enter a new name in the “Your Name” field.
    6. Click Save.

    Keep in mind that other apps may have their own settings for your Sending Name such as the default Mail app on an iPhone or Android. Whatever is in place there will override what’s set up on the Yahoo account. If the wrong name appears on your emails after following the steps above, double-check the settings in the app you’re using.

    Thank you!

  11. Make it stop jumping back to the top of the email while I'm reading my emails!!!!

    Every time I begin typing in an email address, the cursor jumps backward, deleting a letter I've already typed. When I try to correct it, it will take the letter, but moving on, continues to jump back and replace letters. Can't stand this new version.

    Don’t waste time adding new recipients to your Yahoo Contacts. Let Yahoo Mail do it for you automatically.

    In Yahoo Mail, mouse over the Settings menu icon Small gear icon | select Settings.
    Click Writing email.
    Select Automatically add new recipients to Contacts.
    - You can deselect this option if you change your mind.
    Click Save.

  13. Contacts. I have tried using the new icon for contacts but nothing will open. I really need to see my contact list and am unable.

    I am unable to get to my contacts. Like others the new contact icon doesn't work and your answers to access the info somewhere else either don't answer the question about contacts or don't open at all. I really need to search through my contact list. It is the only way to find someone.

  14. Correcting phone number of mail recipients

    When mousing over names in the distribution list of an email in the Inbox, a contact card is show. The help files say to mouse over the Options menu (...) but it doesn't exist, so there's no way to update the incorrect information. Please either update the Help Info to correctly show how to update contact info or put the Options menu back on the Contact Card.

  15. Stop blocking emails from legitimate senders

    You have started blocking emails from a legitimate sender. How can this be fixed, as it is particularly annoying. It is like the postman deciding not to deliver a letter to my house without asking my permission.

  17. autofill contacts

    Autofill for the To: line gives all sorts of suggestions which are not in my contact list, then at the end gives what IS in my contact list. I want an option to use ONLY what is in my contact list or at the very least, suggest them first and THEN others that you create.
