    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

  2. 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!

  3. 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…

  4. 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.

  5. 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

  9. 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.

  14. spam filter working too well

    I have tried about everything to keep emails from a particular mail address from going to spam(not spam buttons, filters, etc), but have been unsuccessful so far. It's getting to the point that I'm going to have to change everything to another email provider. Is there any way I can get specific technical support, not just a forum that tells me what I already know?

  19. HOW TO instructions

    I desperately need to change the signature on my outgoing emails, as the information is out of date. However, the instructions I have found to do so don't make any sense. They tell me to click on things which aren't there. For example, "go to settings and click on accounts"... But Accounts is nowhere to be seen.

  20. Search. I search for a specific word and I get all sorts of random email that doesn't even have the word in it. It's basically USELESS.
