    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.

  6. 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!

  7. Make it very easy to return to Basic Mail. I followed the directions, but did not succeed. Return me to Basic Email; I Can't.

    Place a button next to Settings button so people can return to Basic Email right away. I followed your directions but I could not find "Switch to Classic Mail" at the bottom of the SettiIngs window. I also could not find "Tell why you want to leave." In addition, I could not find "Switch back.." Yahoo switched me out of Basic Email. I did not switch myself.

  10. Unsubscribe from Spam

    "For your security we disabled links in this email. If you believe it is safe to use, mark this message as not spam".

    Due to which unsubscribe option is disabled. If some want to unsubscribe, it is not possible unless and until it declare not spam.

    But if user want to remove irritating subscription. It will not be possible.

  11. 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…

    Add to Yahoo settings; Default setting for "Stay signed in".
    I checked for this idea and the response from Yahoo product support is old, from 2018-12 and it simply says "Gathering Feedback". So why has this not been addressed yet? Why is there no setting for this in Yahoo settings menus? Why can't a browser cookie remember this setting?

    PLEASE I want to set the default for "Stay signed in" as un-checked! I want this disabled by default due to the securtiy risk. I'm so disappo…

  16. blocked images

    Concerning the "This message contains blocked images".

    I would like to be able to have an option to display images everytime, provided that the message comes from the same sender.

    The option to "Always show images" is not interesting for me, as it enables images in all messages from all senders. And sometimes spam messages do arrive in my Inbox, and I certainly do not want the images to be shown in those.

  17. THE CITIES YOU SHOW FOR THE NEAREST TIME ZONE LOCATIONS ARE OVER 1,000 MILES FROM ME. i LIVE IN THE SOUTH, BUT i NEVER SAW A CITY NEAR ME.

    WHY ARE NO SOUTHERN CITIES LISTED TO CHOOSE FROM WHEN SETTING MY TIME ZONE? i LIVE IN THE SOUTH, AND THE CLOSEST CITY FOR ME TO CHOOSE FROM WAS IN CALIFORNIA, WHICH IS NOT IN MY EASTERN STANDARD TIME ZONE. i DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS. THE CLOSEST BIG CITIES NEAR ME FOR EASTERN STANDARD TIME, ARE ATLANTA, GA. AND KNOXVILLE, TN. PLEASE EXPLAIN. THANK YOU.

  18. From/To information in emails

    Is there a way to turn off the new, expanded information (From/To) that appears in messages as of yesterday? It's very distracting and makes it difficult to scan subject, top part of content with opened emails. So much so, that I just scan in the inbox, rather than opening emails.

    Hi there,

    If you are certain the rules in your filters are not causing this, please change your password immediately. This will secure your account and ensure hackers are not downloading your mail as it arrives and sending it to thrash. Please see the following article on securing your account:
    https://help.yahoo.com/kb/sln2090.html

    If you have secured your account and you find your mail is still going directly to Trash, please review the POP settings of any Third party email clients you may be using, such as Outlook or Mac Mail. Certain settings may see your mail deleted on the Yahoo side it when it’s downloaded on the client side. You may need to review these settings via the third party client support site.

    Please note that this is a feedback forum, so our ability to provide support for issues such as this is limited. A far better channel for you to…
