    Hi there,

    Thank you for your question. This feature is not available, as some users are concerned about its impact on their privacy.

    Thanks,

    You’ll see this note if you’re using the Classic version of Yahoo Mail. Once you click it, you’ll be taken to the newest version.

    Thank you!

  8. give us back all the Setting Options

    this newest email took away the Settings Options, and the disposable address controls and the blocked address controls. That is a breach of contract, because we have paid for those features, and rightfully depend on those. Please give these back ASAP.

    Those settings are still available in Yahoo Mail. They are in the Settings or More Settings section (depending on what version of Yahoo Mail you’re using.)

    If you still find that the issue is happening, please see this help page for troubleshooting:

    You can mark these emails as Spam as opposed to blocking them. Because spammers can use a near-limitless number of addresses, it’s virtually impossible to block every one. Marking an email as spam not only blocks the sender but also logs the IP address it came from. Too much spam from a given IP and it can get blocked.

  10. spam filters

    The spam/junk filtering algorithm should be increased more, as it's becoming difficult to filter spam/junk emails using the server rule option.

  11. Deleting email alias not working.

    Clicking "Remove alias" is broken, it just closes the modal. Refreshing shows the alias not deleted. No error message no nothing, just closes.

I want to permanently WIDEN the (quite thin) Column 1 (Folder list) ... how do I do it? xxxxxx@y7mail.com

    Hi there,

    Unfortunately, it is not currently possible to widen this column but I have passed this suggestion on to our Product team.

    Also, we advise users not to share any personal information, even email addresses, on public forums such as this one.

    Thanks,

  13. Inbox View Settings

    Could your Techno Geeks, tweek the Inbox Settings, so that emails can be viewed & saved "By Sender" rather than "Latest arrival"? I have this feature on my other more serious business & personal email addresses. Thanks for considering this

    You can find the “More Settings” in Yahoo Mail by clicking on the small grey Gear icon off to the right (right above the side ad, while in your Yahoo Mailbox), and then looking towards the bottom of the menu.

    If you can’t see it, you may need to scroll over to the right part of your screen or zoom out in your browser by holding down the CTRL key and pressing the – (minus sign) key.

    Thank you!

  16. ALLOW US TO FULLY CHANGE, CONTROL OUR EMAIL ACCT.

    I signed up my acct a decade or two ago. Now for today's security issues, I want to hide my NAME but that is one field you do not allow us to change. Same with or our DOB. You should not do that in today's environment. Back then honesty was not a big issue as it is now. The only option you give me is to get rid of an email I have had for DECADES and get another one.
