    You can check the location settings in New Mail under the Viewing Email section in the settings. Look for “Closest city and timezone”

  4. You people are amazing, stop screwing with things we use everyday like email I'm ready to dump your *****.

    Put the sub folder option back in the older email version. Nice of you to delete it and then want to charge us $4.99 to get help to figure out what the **** you did with it. You people need to leave well enough alone. We use this email system daily. Thank you for making life just a little bit tougher. IDIOTS!!!

  5. Report Abuse, hotmail has a function to report abusive email.

    So that yahoo can identify the abuser, and it helps if we have to report trolls or abusive email to police.

  7. Settings wheel is gutted out - no access to block or unblock adresses

    Setting used to allow us to access a settings area to block email addresses. It is no longer there . Seriously, WHAT happened to the Settings wheel >

    This is what a Yahoo Help online tells me, yet it is not there where I mouse over it. What is up ????

    "Mouse over the Settings menu icon | select Settings. Click Blocked Addresses"---not there. Just color background choice, and few other tidbits. Just like a kindergarten version of former Yahoo.
    I am looking around for a new provider.

    Once you log into mail.yahoo.com from a desktop browser on the right side of the email page you have the small house icon, also known as the Home icon. Under that icon is a gear icon with the word Settings written next to it. Click on it and select More Settings > Security and privacy > next to blocked addresses click the Add option.

  8. Why make a good thing complicated and bad?

    The privacy settings require me to have my phone able to receive messages to access my mail. I travel a lot for work and cannot always receive messages, making it impossible to access my mail while I travel.

    Your computer or browser settings could make it difficult to use Full-featured Yahoo Mail. If your system doesn’t meet these requirements, you’ll be automatically switched to Basic Mail for better performance. More details here: help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN15090.html

  12. Eliminate the link preview when writing a email

    The preview is very annoying and in my opinion unnecessary. I have already turned it off in settings but it keeps popping up. Please eliminate this feature or at least fix so when it is turned off it doesnt show up at all

    Thanks for reaching out. Please go to “Settings” – “More Settings”- “Writing email” and make sure that the “Automatically generate a preview of links” box is unchecked. Thanks!

  13. I don;t want to have to put in an account key everytime I sign in. My husband and I set up a joint account...

    I don't want to have to sign in with an account key everytime I log in. My husband and I set up a joint "family" email that we use for the kids' activities, school, joint bills and rewards programs (think promotional % off emails and coupons as well as our amazon prime, etc.) This account key thing can only be linked to one phone at a time so it royally messes up our system. Especially when you have to wait. We already have a password...I don't need yet another layer or more complication in our lives. It's super annoying.

    Hi there,

    We recommend account key as a more secure form of verification but we recognize that it may not be convenient for everyone. Please note that you can disable account key and return to password sign in. Please see the steps to do so below:

    Manage Account Key from a web browser

    - Go to the Yahoo Account security page.
    - By “Yahoo Account Key,” click Manage.
    - Click the toggle to the right of any device you want to turn on or off.
    - Optionally, click Disable Account Key at the bottom of the screen to switch back to a password.

    Manage Account Key from a Yahoo mobile app

    - From your Account Key enabled app, tap the Menu icon Image of the side menu icon.
    - Tap the Account Key icon Image of the Account Key icon..
    - Tap Manage Account Key.
    - Tap the toggle to…

  14. HKEC

    Why is HKEC on my account? I have never signed up for it nor did I change my settings to APAC. I have changed my password a number of times but for some reason, I cannot remove HKEC from my account and I can not change the region setting back to North America. Additionally, I believe Yahoo has a security issue. Even after changing my password I still get login alerts from other regions. Thankfully I have 2 step varification enabled.

  15. Creating mailbox with different domain name extension. Using email alias not working.

    You can create an email alias, by going to mail.yahoo.com-Settings-More Settings-Mailboxes-Email alias.

    This solution was not working. Gave me error of "sorry ******.com is unavailable"

    Even though, I can login by using *****@yahoo.com, but no mailbox for "com" only "ca" mailbox.

    Thank you

  19. Need to be able to delete connected email addresses from "mailbox list"

    Why can I add emails to my "mailbox list" but not delete them from this list? This went wonky and now emails to each account are being sent to all connected accounts and the recovery account!! What a time consuming mess.

    You can remove a mailbox , by going to a laptop/desktop computer, click Settings-More Settings-Mailboxes, click the account whose mailbox you want deleted from the current list, then on the right menu that opens, scroll down and click ‘’Remove mailbox’’.
