  1. Sort mailbox list

    Under settings > mailboxes, I am able to add mailboxes, but there is no way to sort the mailboxes. It would be nice to have the option to see the mailboxes in a particular order. Please add sorting of mailboxes. Thank you.

  2. Why do I have to have a verification code to sign into my account?

    I do not have 2 factor authentication. Yet when I need to sign into my yahoo email when I am away from my usual place, I cannot access my Yahoo email. It wants to send an authentication code to my recovery email. Unfortunately, other email platforms are doing the same thing. So I go in circles --- I can't access Yahoo because email code was sent to my other email. I cannot access that other email account because a code was sent to my Yahoo account. And so on. Which means I cannot travel away from my home computer to…

    Hi there! Thank you for the feedback! When you are traveling or switching devices you might be asked to send a code to your recovery options to verify location and device. If you no longer have access to the recovery options you can follow the steps presented on this article: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/add-remove-recovery-method-sln2058.html

  3. pin important messages to the top

    Would it be possible to pin important messages to the top so we can find them faster? A pin is different from an asterisk.

  4. Give the option to have most recent message in an email thread at the top.

    I want most recent messages at the top on an email thread. It was set that way but recently changed and there is no option, that I can find, that allows me to set it back.

  7. mailbox font size

    You provide options for controlling the font size when writing an email, but you do not currently provide any options for controlling the font size when reading an email, or when viewing the list of received messages in the Inbox. You do provide an option to increase the spacing between entries, but that just adds more white space between entries with the same font as before the white space addition.

    I see you have suggested to others that by increasing the browser magnification, the screens are more readable. Well, while that is true, that is not a useful solution because…

  8. block domains

    Blocking domains is working great at eliminating spam, frankly I am surprised that obvious spam gets past yahoo spam filters. i would like to have more than 3 domains to block.

  9. "Enable large text size" works fine. However, once it's done, I can't undo that option, can't see that option in settings anymore.

  12. background in email - Disability

    Can you change the brightness of the white in the email background or if using the dark mode, can you change the brightness of the letters? I have a disability and it is getting more difficult to read. Thank you!

  13. block sender

    My wife and I are really amazed the "Block Sender" is so poorly set up. If you insert on your site that the user is able to "Block Sender" AND "Block all future emails" and "Delete all existing emails" it should do that. It doesn't. We have shifted to another email as yahoomail does not perform as stated.

    Hi there. The block feature is best used for people, not spam, since spammers can use spoofed accounts. Meaning what you see might not be the actual sender address. The more often you mark these emails as Spam, the more you train your personal mail filter to recognize them as unwanted. For spam going to your Inbox, you can create filters by going to mail.yahoo.com from a laptop/PC, click Settings>More Settings>Filters. Here you can add as rule to filter the repetitive terms you see in the subject line or email body.

  14. font size

    I see that this concern has been noted already. By numerous users. However, I don't see any response or solution from Yahoo!, so I'm adding my concern to the list. Font size in YahooMail, and in the inbox is too small. How do I make it no less than 12 point, all the time? Thank you.

  16. Add a landline phone option for verification

    Please add a land line phone option for account verification. Many Senior citizens do not have a mobile phone or one that accepts text messages, this forever has been called a "land Line" phone. Most other services offer a choice of a text to a mobile or a code that is sent to a "landline" for verification. Unlike others I have several email addresses but a land line option would provide a modern approach for those without a mobile phone.
    Thank You
