  2. Add to Yahoo settings; Default setting for "Stay signed in".

    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…

  3. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

    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…

  12. 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.

  14. Stop Flashy Ads in Email

    Please allow users to choose non-moving ads only in email. The flashy ads make it impossible to concentrate on business emails and cause migraines in some. I see a lot of other comments here saying the same. Many of us have been forced to divert our customers to other email services because of it. Thank you.

  15. There is still no "Switch To Classic Mail" option

    "When I Click the Settings icon in the top-right corner there is no "Switch To Classic Mail" option at the bottom of the window. In the new Yahoo Mail the fonts are too light making them more difficult to read from a distance. There is no option in settings to enlarge type. Doing so via keyboard results in type that is still too light. Give me back "Classic" Yahoo mail.

    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…
