change image
I changed my image icon to a picture from the default but now I want to change it back. How to make it? Thanks.
Personalize your Yahoo Account by adding a picture from a desktop computer and most mobile apps. You can upload an image in .jpg, .png, and .jpeg format as long as it’s 5MB or less and at least 192×192 pixels. Once a Profile picture is added, it can’t be made blank again. Switch it to a generic image if you’d prefer not to share something personal:

Why can I not filter names/sunjects in mail, when I click titles of a filtered name the system says "I Have a problem " return to inbox
Just get it working like it used to be without poncing it up
Filters work on a system of position. Filters higher on the list will take precedence over the lower ones. Check out our article on Filters for more info:

My email won't change the name that is being sent out with each email
I set a pseudonym when I was a teenager and even though I've updated it everywhere I can think of and literally CANNOT find the name anywhere else, it won't stop attaching it to my sent emails. wtf?
When you send an email to another person, the name that shows on the account is called the Sending Name. This is different than an account’s Display Name or Nickname, which shows in the top right part of the screen when you’re signed in.
The Sending Name for the account can only be changed from the desktop web version of Yahoo Mail, and not from a mobile device. Follow these steps below to change it.
In New Mail:
1. Sign in to Yahoo Mail.
2. Mouse over the Settings menu icon (Gear) | select More Settings.
3. Click Mailboxes.
4. Click on the Yahoo email account.
5. Enter a new name in the “Your Name” field.
6. Click Save.In Classic Mail:
1. Sign in to Yahoo Mail.
2. Mouse over the Settings menu icon (Gear) | select Settings.
3. Click Accounts.
4. Click on the Yahoo email account.

Need to make it easier and more direct to remove blocked addresses. The Settings menu is more interested in graphics than actual settings.

Default verification device
Where I work, I am not allowed to bring either my tablet or my cell phone into my office for security reasons. In addition, the thin client I use for my external email is rebooted nightly, so I have to log into my Yahoo account each day. The verification system uses my tablet as my first default device, then my cell phone as the second device and finally goes to my Hotmail account where I get the verification code. How can I change my settings so that my Hotmail account is the FIRST default verification system, not the last?
