    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.

  2. 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.

  3. I want to have a drop-down menu for which e-mail address I want to send from, like it used to be! :(

    I have multiple Yahoo e-mail addresses under one account, but it won't let me change which account is the default and it now won't even let me choose another one of the accounts to send from. Bring back the drop-down menu to select a "From" e-mail address!

  4. the ads all over the place ****.

    All the ads ****. This is the worst email ever. Will start to use Gmail exclusively if this is what Yahoo has become. Dying like every other old school irrelevant company that can't adapt and make things easier.

    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…

  7. 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…

  8. revert

    It is not possible to revert if your screen resolution is not great enough. For some reason the "Classic" option in the settings menu does not appear. I tried setting my laptop into portrait mode and clicked on settings and the "revert to classic" was available.

    Horrible, just horrible.

  10. The New Mail is impossible to manage. It is awkward and settings do not work at all. I've now lost my signature line. Old email please.

    Please return me to the old Yahoo as this one is unmanageable. If not, I will switch to gmail which I am currently trying out.

  11. 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.

  12. show full e-mail address in app

    Show full e-mail address in app inbox to reduce phishing.
    I have had a couple of e-mails through from what look like reputable sources. On the yahoo mail app, you can only see the name that the sender wishes you to see. Could you please make it easier to be able to see the full e-mail address to help identify when the e-mail is actually fake / phishing?
    For example, I was contacted by what looked like UK TV Licensing. The e-mail looked normal - it said I needed to pay for the…

  13. 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.

  15. maybe you could optimize the frigging site.

    not everybody has blazing fast internet to counter your bloated server generated html. i live in a VERY rural area, the only internet available is VERY slow AND expensive. it takes SEVERAL minutes for me to load any page in yahoo mail and the basic version doesn't have enough settings for me to use it.

  16. How come you don't empty spam and trash boxes at regular intervals any more?

    You used to have a setting that allowed us to set a time frame for having spam and trash boxes emptied at regular intervals. Why is that no longer available. I have to keep manually emptying them every couple of weeks. Very annoying.
