    We’ll send an Account Key text when you create a Yahoo account or make security changes to an existing account. You’ll need to enter the Account Key when prompted to confirm your account or changes.

    If you received an Account Key text but didn’t create an account or make security changes, then someone else mistyped their number and accidentally used yours.

    Don’t worry, they won’t be able to move forward with your mobile number because they don’t have possession of your phone to get the Account Key.

    Hi there,

    You should be able to access any mail you have not deleted, regardless of the date from an active mailbox. To access your oldest mail, click on “Sort” on the top left of the message list and select “oldest to newest”
    Please see the following help article for details on how to search for mail by specific criteria, such as date range or folder:

    Our Spam filters override any filters/blocked addresses on the account, so if something is deemed to be Spam, it will ignore filters on the account and go there.

  9. Can we limit the search feature to the in box and not all mail

    Currently when we do a search it brings up all the conversations including those that have been filed. Is there a way to limit the searches to the in box and not all boxes.

  10. The time on today's e mails are all wrong by a couple of hours or more. What's going on?

    You're not interested in improving, I think, because there's no way to reach with a problem.

    If the timestamps on emails are off on the web, you can make sure you’ve selected the right timezone in the Settings menu and verify that your computer’s clock is correct.

    If you ever have any other issues, you can always reach out to us through our Help pages or through our Forums:

  12. This week I have had two days that I could not get to my messages in Yahoo mail. Let us know when you are working on site.

    Send an email to subscribers letting them know they will experience down time on emails because you are working on issues. Hate being in the dark -- my computer was not at fault.

    Sometimes when emails go missing it’s because of another program or app the account is being accessed from. Check out this post for more info and how to restore missing emails.

    If the emails show up when doing a search but aren’t in the message list, please see this help page for troubleshooting:

    Hi there,

    The instructions depend on the software you maybe using. We have tried to capture the steps for the most frequently used programs here:
    https://en-global.help.yahoo.com/kb/new-mail-for-desktop/sln28635.html

    Note if you are using Firefox, you can follow the steps under the heading “Turn off Tracking Protection for individual sites” on the following page:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tracking-protection?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=tracking-protection-pbm#w_how-to-turn-tracking-protection-off

    We have seen issues where users using Ad Blockers have not been able to see the latest email in their inbox due to the ad blocking software incorrectly blocking it. Whitelisting Yahoo Mail should eliminate issues like this.
    Of course it will also mean that ads will not be blocked, but its not cheap to provide 1TB of email storage for free for everyone, so we need to pay the bills somehow!

    Thanks,
    Mail Support

  17. I have spent an hour trying to find some real help. All there is lots of loops and canned non-answers. I have a real problem & no help.

    I am unable to access addresses on the to line. I put in a letter and that is all I get, a letter -- no list of addresses for that letter.

  18. Embedded pictures in my emails stopped showing. Up until a couple days ago, they showed and I haven't made any changes to my system.

    All the embedded pictures in my email do not show. Until a couple days ago, they worked. There have been no changes to our system, and my husband's Google email works, but he has the same problem with his Yahoo email.

  19. sent folder says draft

    After sending an email, if I go to my SENT folder the email I just sent says "draft" next to it in red letters. What's that all about? It isn't listed in the DRAFT folder. Has it been sent or not? Ever since Yahoo made a bunch of "upgrades" a lot of things seem to be going wrong. If you're going to make changes, how about makings sure they are improvements?

  20. Separate accounts

    I have two yahoo accounts. I did not ask to sync. I want to sign in to each account separately. I have tried to restore back to separate account but it was not possible. Please send the option to sign in separately. It sucks!
