  3. Allow me to edit my information myself. You are not letting me change my birthdate. I used a Fake one because I don't want this company to

    Let me control my information myself. I do not want Yahoo to act like they are my GOD. I create my information according to what I want you to know.

    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.

    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.

    Hi there, 


    If we've noticed any unusual activity on your account or if you're using a password that's old or not strong enough, we'll ask you to change it. By creating a new password, your personal info remains secured from intruders and imposters. For additional security tips, review the following:

    We'll send a verification code via text message when you create a Yahoo account or make security changes to an existing account. You'll need to enter the verification code when prompted to confirm your account or changes.


    If you received a verification code via 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 verification code.

  10. allow pictures in business email profile

    Please allow Yahoo business email users to add a profile picture.
    This is should be a basic feature of every email. When people receive an email from our company, it should not have a random avatar. FYI - We pay for the Web Hosting Premier Annual Plan; and it should be available for everyone.

  14. Blocked password recovery email

    I am not receiving a password recovery email and none of the help links are actually helpful. My account has never been deactivated, I never moved the email address to spam and it is not there, I have the email address in my contacts. And I have no way of saying to allow that domain.

    Getting unwanted emails or spam is frustrating. While most of spam emails are being caught by our spam filters, occasionally some can slip through.

    When this happens, it’s very important to mark the email as Spam, then our system will learn that messages from a specific place are not good and helps us make Yahoo Mail even better at recognizing future spam emails.

  16. I am unable to stop the desktop notification that happens on my incoming emails. This happens only for one of my yahoo mails

    I use Google Chrome as my browser. I have tried all possible settings to prevent notifications in my browser as well as yahoo email, but I am unable to stop the annoying message that appears as a banner notification with a sound on the top right corner. I have multiple yahoo emails, but this seems to be happening with only one of my emails. How can I stop this? Thanks.

    You should be able to edit your writing when composing by clicking the buttons located on the bottom of the Compose page. If you do not have them, you might be using the Basic version of Yahoo Mail, and you need to click the ‘’Switch to the newest Yahoo Mail’’ link from the top right corner of Yahoo Mail page.

  20. Remembering passwords issues

    My phone is linked to my email accounts to protect my email from hackers. My problem is having to change my password too many times, when yahoo is supposed to remember it, since I clicked remember me. Yet it fails to do so. If it says remember me, and a phone number is attached to the account, it should only go to that phone to send the code to gain access to the account. Not have to keep resetting the password.
