  3. 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.

    You may just need to adjust the zoom settings in your web browser. Hold down the CTRL key and press the + key at the same time until the text looks right. You can also hold down CTRL and press the 0 key at the same time to reset the zoom to default.

    Thank you!

  8. Saved emails can easily be unintentionally deleted

    When using "search for messages from this sender" the default parameter is "All Mail". This feature by default searches all mail in all folders including folders created by the user. When there is a large search list displayed, it is very hard to designate the emails that are already saved against the emails you want to potentially delete. In the search results there is no designation as to the location of the email as in previous versions of Yahoo Mail. Not until opening the header and displaying the contents…

  9. I do not want to see what I sent in my in box. It should only be in my sent box. How to change this would be nice to know.

    I do not want to see sent emails in my inbox. They should only show up in the sent box. How can this be modified by user?

  10. The latest mail update is a step in the wrong direction, form over substance

    The new settings button opens a huge section dealing with themes.
    ICYMI, email isn't about colors, it's about productivity. Now, to change an actual setting, I need to click one more button for 'more settings'.
    A step in the wrong direction.
    ALSO,
    the one setting that would actually help me is still broken:
    in view mode, with preview pane set on the right, and messages sorted newest first, after moving a message to a folder the view always goes to the previous message, regardless of the setting of 'previous' vs 'next'.

  13. Fixing Messages in Spam, Trash, Inbox With Filters

    Filters to get recurring, unwanted messages in Spam to go directly to Trash do not work. Filters to get wanted messages in Trash to go directly to InBox do not work. Also, Yahoo is s-l-o-w.

  14. Log in

    I have been with yahoo mail for decades, 30-40 years. I now need a one time verification code every time to log on. Are strong passwords no longer required? This means I have to sign in to another email provider, very secure and does not require a OVC, to get it. I don't pocess a 'phone.

    Is there a setting in mail that I can use to automatically forward incoming mail to my other provider? I will be closing my yahoo account over the next short while and would like to not lose…

    When I send email, a different email address appears to the receivers. This started after my mail was hacked and I re-secured it. How do I correct this. I went to the 'settings-writing email' and option to modify sender name is not available. Any suggestion. The yhelp on the topic wouldn't fix it.

  17. WHERE have the account settings gone? I can't find privacy settings anymore!

    That little icon (wheel) no longer gives me my account settings. I don't WANT to play with "themes" and colors, I want to change a privacy setting. I had to switch BACK to Classic Mail to do it!
