  1. Security log in

    Using my phone to log in while I am on my home computer is just overkill! Just let me log in without also logging into my phones email. If I wanted to use my phone to look at my emails I would but I am on my home computer!!!!!!!!!! Just let me log in, ask me more security questions if you want but don't make me log into another device just to prove that its me!!?!?!?! I hate my yahoo email just because of this!

  5. create a setting to either enable or disable opening links in new window or tab

    links in messages used to open in a new tab or window. now they are suddenly opening in the same tab or window. Some might like this, others, like me, not. So give us an option. Also consider this for settings in Calendar, settings, news, and other yahoo features.

  6. I think that you are taking for granted how people will feel about being pushed into something that they might not like and there doesn't se

    I think that you are taking for granted that people will like the awful new email page. I like the black and white and not all the colours. There is no bar giving sport etc. This is something that I use quite a lot, please return it. You don't really give instructions clearly about how to revert to the old system. Please do so. Thank you. PS. I am not very good at working changes so please make it simple.

  7. Need sort option in Sent folder

    In SENT folder , the sort options should include Sort By RECIPIENT. sort by SENDER is meaningless in Sent email (it is useful for Inbox). Or at least restore Column Headings - so we can sort Sent emails by clicking on Receipient column heading.

  8. back to classic full-featured

    For months (if not years) I have been using Classic Full-featured Yahoo mail. This morning I naively thought I'd try the Basic version. Realizing that version doesn't have the tabs I depend on, I've been trying to switch back to the Classic Full-featured version with tabs and I've been unsuccessful after spending hours. I've lost the Settings gear icon so I can't go back to where I was this morning.

    Tried the Newest Version and the Settings but selecting the Turn on…

    All related name emails should able to be group at more 100 at a time. All should be able to be grouped to be archived or deleted. and in the event of a name changed. Exp. marriage/divorce. The name handle should be able to be changed without having to create a whole new account.

  12. font

    Please hire a staff of people over 60 who also have degenerative eye disease to review your font options. What you have is AWFUL!! Too tiny, too faint, lines too close together, and sans serif. Times Roman, black on white was actually quite legible and worked for generations.

    Provide font options for folder names, inbox, sent, and the email titles. Provide the option to set those settings once, then sync them all.

    For those of us who are older, this is an enormous frustration! Telling us to zoom is…

  14. Please add functionality and expand properties of Blocked address

    Yahoo! Mail has a wonderful function of blocking addresses, but only by actual e-mail addresses, in previous web version of Yahoo! Mail you could also add domains, now you can add only full emails to blocked addresses list.
    Can Yahoo! Team please look into the following: expand functionality of this - add possibility of adding keyword to the Subject line, various parts of what From (Sender) contains (words), like Mail.Ru did - you can literally pick any qualifier: From, CC, Subject, Body, and specify conditionin

  15. Phishing

    I just got a Phishing Scam email from purporting to be from Apple....and it was not, then I find this cannot be reported any more. There is a giant difference between SPAM and Phishing, we want the function back as I am sure it would make Yahoos job easier. Also our online safety.

  16. Stop disabling messages and links disabled in spam. I often want to see them, even if they are spam. I don't appreciate censorship

    I don't want links and messages disabled, nor to have to make a message 'not spam,' in order to view it. I don't want it in my inbox, but I do want the option to view it to be mine. Sometimes viewing spam, alerts as to what is 'out there,' and sometimes spam gets through Yahoo filters. I want to be able to identify spam that may have entered my inbox. Yahoo should not be censoring my email; putting it in the Spam folder is sufficient. I check…

    Hello there. You can go to Settings-More Settings-Viewing email and then scroll down to ‘’Show images in messages’’ to select your preferred setting.

  17. Advert inserts within inbox mail placing and vacation messaging

    1. Those adverts in the middle of my emails is a NO NO NO - keeping them on the side and above my emails is bad enough but including them as a distraction in between my emails is extremely unsavory and annoying.

    2. To get where to place a vacation message is extremely difficult due to the hidden menu. Make this easy like it was on the old format.

  19. Attachment opening still very poor and multiple bottlenecks

    The attachment should not be opened in email window unless user click specific option visible. Attachment from bottom bar should have option to save or open as user choose. There are multiple problem of getting attachment in computer folder.
