blocking unwanted emails
I recently provided my email address as part of a consumer response, and now I find my email is being routinely spammed daily by fictitious email addresses. These emails are coming from addresses where a valid email address has been hijacked, and the "new" user has simply placed an additional part in the address. Such as Joe.Blow@vresp##.amazon.com or Donotrespond@vmail##.infonet.net. Can you restore the use of the * as a wildcard identifier so I don't have to individually block all these? As in @vresp.. or @vmail... This used to work, but it is no longer recognized…
Hi there,
Thank you for the feedback. We will that this into consideration on future updates,
In the mean time I would suggest mark these emails as “spam.” This will tell our internal filters to block then before they arrive.

i cannot change my birthday
Hello,
I am trying to setup my birthday such it is setup on 01 Jan 1980.
Can you please fix this issue?For security reasons, it isn’t possible to update or change the date of birth listed on your Yahoo account, even if you entered it incorrectly when you first registered your account. You’ll need to open a new account if you’d like your account to reflect your accurate info.

how could i send an email in a specific time? i don't want to send now, but i need to send several hours or minutes later.
why couldnot add a buttom such as "send later" besided the " send" buttom?
Hi there,
At this time we do not offer the option to schedule an email to be sent. You can however write the email and save it to your drafts folder. This will then allow you to quickly send the message when the time comes.

Change News Feed Setting in Yahoo mail - Please
Change the news feed setting in yahoo;
Either: allow a choice of what news source to view, add an option to turn off the news feed altogether, or present news w/o bias or leaning.
Been with yahoo since 1995. Please do not cause us to abandon Yahoo over these forced tactics to promote a particular political ideology!

Receiving emails from the equivalent .com domain
I have an email address ending .co.uk. This means it is impossible to create or receive emails directed to the .com equivalent address. Previous answers posted from technical support do not work. Maybe these are old responses aimed at a previous version of yahoo.
Hi there,
If your email domain ends with .co.uk then all emails would need to be sent using the .co.uk.

Improve the setting icon to include "Basic" or Classic" for mail

Length of time for keeping emails in In Box
I keep certain emails in my In Box that I prefer to keep for more than 6 months and they disappear. I cannot find them. Only one month at time will be retained in my In Box for some reason. I want the option to choose how long to remain in IN BOX.
Hi there,
Emails will not disappear as long as the account is active.
If you are noticing that emails are being deleted this could be due to how the account is being accessed outside of yahoo.com or the Yahoo App.
We see this when a 3rd party email client such as Outlook or a stock mobile app is being used.

Allow me to turn off the news notifications
2 days ago, I started receiving a news notification on my cell phone through my yahoo email. I do not want to see these news updates. It's all doom and gloom. I'm halfway intelligent and if I want to read news about the virus, I'll go find it myself. I do not need it forced upon me! So, how do I turn off the news notifications? Thank you.
If you are currently using the newest version of the Yahoo Mail app, you are able to disable these notifications. Click your profile picture, click notifications, and turn off the coronavirus updates option.

size of font on inbox
all of the sudden my inbox font is TINY and I can't read it? Help
You may just need to adjust the zoom settings in your web browser. Hold down the CTRL key and press the + key at the same time until the text looks right. You can also hold down CTRL and press the 0 key at the same time to reset the zoom to default.
Thank you!

Yahoo email not blocking the emails from particular addresses
I have blocked two email addresses in security and privacy tab . Here are the two email ids
1. ********@yahoogroups.com
2. ************@yahoogroups.com
Still I am receiving unnecessary emails in my spam folder . What is the the problem with Yahoo email ? why it is not able to block emails ?Group messages are no longer pre-moderated. You can set up email filters or leave the group by sending a blank message to groupname-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com (make sure to replace “groupname” with the exact name of the groups).

Trash folder
Looks like my Trash folder holds only the most recent week of deleted emails.
Please let us keep emails in Trash for AT LEAST a month, preferrably two months or three.
I'm using only 0.6% of the 1Tb storage.By default, both the Trash and Spam folders empty automatically to keep your account tidy. You cannot change the Trash and Spam settings.
Trash deletion frequency – Trash is deleted after 7 days.
Spam deletion frequency – Spam is deleted after 30 days
