  4. When I sign out, the next time I go in, I do NOT even need to sign in. How do I make it sign out so it needs me to put in my password?

    Hi there. If there’s something unusual about your sign in or recent activity, we’ll ask you to go through another verification step after you’ve entered the correct password. This helps protect your account from unauthorized access. You may be prompted to get a verification code on your Yahoo app, recovery phone number, or recovery email address for any of the following reasons:

    Yahoo notices suspicious account activity.
    You’re using an unfamiliar browser or device.
    You’re traveling away from your usual location.
    You sign in while using a VPN or a proxy server.
    You’ve logged in with a private or incognito window.
    There are many attempts to sign in with incorrect passwords.
    The “First time signing in from this device” message appears.
    You’ve cleared your browser history or data cache including cookies.

  8. need forwarding capability back.

    I tried to create a business account to then forward to my already existing yahoo account. This is a let down. Will have to go to Gmail now.

  9. Stop adding alternate emails into my Yahoo mail without asking me first.

    Your instructions for removing extra emails does not work. Email alias does not exist. There are emails there that aren't even mine. Please remove all extra emails or give me the means to accomplish this task.

    Don’t get locked out of your Yahoo account! It’s important to keep a valid mobile phone number or email address linked to your account in case you ever lose your password, want to switch over to a secure, password-free sign in, need to verify your identity if you sign in from an unfamiliar place, or want to receive notifications of changes made to your account.

  10. 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.

    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.

  12. emails goes to the wrong folders due to wrong filter settings

    I have too setup too many filters and I cannot tell which filter cause the email going to wrong folders.

    Can all search in the filers or have a feature to export the filter into the file so that I can figure out which filter is causing the issue?

  13. You can put the "block" function back in the "more" options. Sorting through all the spam to find personal emails is a pain in the *****

    Easy, . . reinstate the blocking function. How hard can it be? You ask how you can improve New Mail, . . . you have your answer !

    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.

  19. 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!

  20. 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.
