  1. 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.

  2. 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…

  4. 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…

  7. Email deletion and name handle change

    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.

  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'.

  11. too many sign in screens

    I love Yahoo mail and have used it for years! But having 3 different screens just to sign in is a waste of my time. Overkill on security. Can we have just 1 or maybe on 2 screens please??? One screen with user name and password ... PLEASE SIMPLIFY THE SIGN-IN PROCESS

  12. 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?

  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.

    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!

    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. 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…
