  2. Let me set a default mail account

    I have two email accounts: one with my generic Yahoo username and one with Yahoo small business. With new mail, both accounts are available under the Compose button. But every time I log in on desktop, my generic Yahoo username account opens first. I never use that account. I want my small business account to open by default. Right now, every time I log in on desktop, it's an extra click. Let me set which one should open by default.

  4. Improvement required on spam filter

    Everytime I login to my account, its full of junk mails. Even if there are any important mails I am unable to find them within the huge pile of junk mails.
    There is no feature in the settings menu where we can improve the spam filter. Pathetic !!!!

  5. In filters, in addition to moving to other folders a new option to forward the mails to a list of emails should also be included

    Auto email forward to a list of emails to be added as a stand-alone feature or as an action to filters

  6. Don't auto delete emails in the Trash EVER - I like keeping some emails in Trash for long periods.

    Also - I put an email in TRASH this morning - went to look for it - GONE

    That SHOULD NOT HAPPEN

    In order to do that please tap on your profile picture in the Yahoo Mail App > Settings > Security.

  8. Improve your antiquated security and privacy

    Block senders and security/privacy need to be updated as the number of spam e-mails has grown over the years. Time taken to delete blocked addresses is ridiculous , even worse when it comes to your filters. These are filled within weeks and months of setting them.Once you delete them the new ones start pouring in.Limiting the numbers that you can block/filter is so Windows 95. Get it together please. Make it possible to delete all old filters/blocked address in one click not 1000 or 500.

  9. can't add an alias email despite following instructions

    can't add an alias email despite following instructions given by yahoo. I don't want to add a new account. THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW DON'T WORK, After I click mailboxes I DON'T SEE THE "email alias" as an option. This is very frustrating and I don't know you to email yahoo for support

    Create or delete an email alias in Yahoo Mail
    Creating an email alias give you the benefits of having two mailboxes in one convenient location. You'll use the same password and have 1 combined inbox for…

  10. cox.net

    Cox has moved all its email services to Yahoo which could be a great thing. My main issue is that now the only way I can get my emails from all 6 of my Cox addresses in one inbox is blocked because I don’t want to pay 5 dollars for each account so that I can forward them to one in box at Yahoo.com that I have used for a few years now (which may not be possible anyway due to cox.net address). I don’t mind paying the five dollars a month…

    Hi, we'd like to hear more about this issue. Could you please contact us at help.yahoo.com so we can look into it? 

  11. I have been a user since 1999 and this is the worst yet, why have you disconnected the mail filter from the email list?

    leave the filter as it was before, highlight the email and click yes to filter these type. You have it hidden in settings and have to manually fill in the fields, MUPPETS

  13. CHANGE INBOX FONT

    CHANGE INBOX FONT

    The new font for the desktop version of the inbox and reading emails is too small, too skinny, and is an eyesore. Either the font needs to be changed or you should have the ability in settings to change the font to something easier to read. Currently, you are only allowed to change your font in the mail you compose. You should be able to change the font in how you see and read emails as well.

    Side note: this feedback forum is using the…

  15. log in

    I have a desktop, 2 laptops, and 2 iphones used almost exclusively at my house on my wifi. Why do I have to have double login on a private computer? I can understand it from another location (if I ever travel again), but I use it for personal and school. Doesn't make sense. We're two old people who trust each other with our codes!

  16. Allow images back in the email signature.

    We need it for our business and may need to create a new account with another provider which is not ideal.

  20. Search. I search for a specific word and I get all sorts of random email that doesn't even have the word in it. It's basically USELESS.
