  1. how can we put our laptops and computers,etc in a small format as before. its to big and it needs to be all on one page.

    Printing to large. was better to operate when in smaller letters. or is there some setting we need to make on our equipment to use the new format. easier to read, especially on one page.

  3. Settings Out-Of-Date?

    I use Yahoo email across several devices and I must say, Yahoo email is the least dependable of the email systems I use. I cannot reliable access due to settings being "out-of-date". I supposedly fix them but, still no mail. What a PITA! Time to move away from Yahoo!!!

  6. Length of time for keeping emails in In Box

    I keep certain emails in my In Box that I prefer to keep for more than 6 months and they disappear. I cannot find them. Only one month at time will be retained in my In Box for some reason. I want the option to choose how long to remain in IN BOX.

    Hi there,

    Emails will not disappear as long as the account is active.

    If you are noticing that emails are being deleted this could be due to how the account is being accessed outside of yahoo.com or the Yahoo App.

    We see this when a 3rd party email client such as Outlook or a stock mobile app is being used.

  7. I do not want the new one want to use the old one

    The screen is too big and running here and there could not see full half of the space taken by the advertisements.

  8. two factor foreign

    I'm locked out of my e-mail through no fault of my own. It insists on furnishing a cell number, but I'm in the Philippines. It won't accept a ten-digit Philippine number and won't allow additional five digits for international access.

  11. Inbox should have PAGES or 50 emails per screen

    Please regular inbox to have only 50-100 email per screen/page which would allow us to forward to the middle or end of our inbox list. Need to d edit, delete, move and read emails located in a time or later in list WITHOUT scrolling for an hour.

    Makes using on phone very difficult also !!!

  12. Filters

    Would it be possible to create a filter system that can look for multiple pieces of the same type of criteria? For example, more than one email address, or more than one word in the subject?

  14. Wow, that date separation ('earlier this week', 'last week') REALLY is a drag. Really breaks up the view for no reason.

    Date separation ('earlier this week', 'last week', etc.) REALLY is an interruption in the view for no reason. It's a complete drag and a distraction. I KNOW when emails arrived; the date is right at the end of the line! A real nuisance but we've been over this already, haven't we? And the trash can for emails is inconvenient. Should be where it was; near the sender area. The new features mentioned take you all over the page unnecessarily. Makes for inefficient operation. Trashes speedy work.

  16. NEED MORE THAN 1000 BLOCK EMAIL OPTION (HAVE USED 1000 of 1000).

    NEED MORE THAN 1000 BLOCK EMAIL OPTION (HAVE USED 1000 of 1000).

    The limit of emails to block is 1000. I have used my limit of a 1000 email blocks and would like the limit to be raised higher. With the rise of spam emails now days, we need the option to BLOCK MORE emails. This would also help with the SPAM folder and Email folder from getting so large on a daily basis.

  17. Cannot block spam because your block changes the spam email address and inserts a % instead of @. No quality control at Yahoo.

    Responded  ·  Product Support responded

    Currently, you can’t block domains in New Mail. Since spammers use so many different addresses to send junk, it’s best to mark these emails as Spam rather than trying to block every domain. This helps our system block these emails better in the future.

    Our Spam filters override any filters on the account, so if something is deemed to be Spam, it will ignore filters and blocked addresses on the account and go there.

    Thank you!

  19. Bring back IP login history when viewing 'recent activity' option in Security settings.

    Yahoo had this service back in 2016 when my email account was hacked. I'm shocked that you guys removed this.

    Gmail and Office 365 already provide these services.

    BRING IT BACK!

  20. I need to be able to delete old and/or unwanted emails. Please tell me how to change my setting to bring back this ability.

    I am thinking I need to delete my Yahoo desktop mail program and replace it by downloading a fresh program. Please inform me as to how I go about this...IF you think it is a wise way to correct my problem of not being able to delete old and/or unwanted emails. In addition, I can't access my settings folder. Are the two problems related? Please reply to my email address: rock55mky@yahoo.com
