    Please try using a different browser. If the issue persists, make sure you do not have a certain setting on a third party email app.

  2. Every time I click on an item in my inbox, you move away from it

    I think you need to have your folks actually try using your e-mail. Am tired of trying to select items, then I cannot even see what I selected, since obviously know better as to what I am thinking. I am seriously looking for a new email service, since yours basically ****

  4. Why can't I move my subfolders to another folder in my Yahoo mail?

    Why can't I move my subfolders to another folder in my Yahoo mail? Is this option no longer available because of Yahoo helping Hillary when she tried to delete all of her emails?

    Thanks for contacting us.

    At the moment, this feature is not available. You cannot create a folder between Inbox and Trash. All the folders that you create, are situated at the button of the email. We will pass along this feedback to the appropriate team for review.

    If an account is unused or dormant for 12 months, it is deactivated and its emails are deleted, more info here: 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.

    help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN2552.html

    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 yahoo.com or the Yahoo Mail app to avoid this issue.

    Filters work on a system of precedence: filters higher on the list will overrule those lower. Also keep in mind that our Spam filters take precedence over any other filter or setting on the account. This means that if an emails is determined to be Spam, it will go straight there without being affected by any filter(s) on the account.

    If you feel emails still aren’t being filtered correctly,
    let us know on our forums:

    You can create a new folder from the Folders list using the “New Folder” option at the top of the list. Once it’s created, you should be able to move emails there with eh “Move” button.

    “Purchase” view isn’t a folder, it’s just a saved search of emails in the mailbox, therefore, you will have to delete the email from the Inbox.

  20. Buggy Mail
