    No matter how much deleting and emptying of my Yahoo email inbox and trash box -- the availability of me to make room in my storage doesn't seem to change. Why?

    Hi there! Sorry to hear about the issue. Here is a page that can help in this regard: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/enable-automatic-email-forwarding-yahoo-mail-sln36684.html.

  8. Filters Drag and Insert

    Ordering of filters list make it so you can drag them up or down.
    Adding a new filter make so you can select an existing filter and when you create the new filter have it insert at the current position in the list. If you have a bunch of filters and like to order them into groups then you have to click the up/down arrow a lot

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention. That sounds familiar. Yahoo may at times enforce a login wait to help ensure account security and privacy. There's no way for us to bypass this in the contact center, so we recommend waiting the prescribed amount of time. It's usually fairly short and you can then try logging in again. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

  13. I don;t want to have to put in an account key everytime I sign in. My husband and I set up a joint account...

    I don't want to have to sign in with an account key everytime I log in. My husband and I set up a joint "family" email that we use for the kids' activities, school, joint bills and rewards programs (think promotional % off emails and coupons as well as our amazon prime, etc.) This account key thing can only be linked to one phone at a time so it royally messes up our system. Especially when you have to wait. We already have a password...I don't need yet…

    Hi there,

    We recommend account key as a more secure form of verification but we recognize that it may not be convenient for everyone. Please note that you can disable account key and return to password sign in. Please see the steps to do so below:

    Manage Account Key from a web browser

    - Go to the Yahoo Account security page.

    - Optionally, click Disable Account Key at the bottom of the screen to switch back to a password.

    Manage Account Key from a Yahoo mobile app

    - From your Account Key enabled app, tap the Menu icon Image of the side menu icon.
    - Tap the Account Key icon Image of the Account Key icon..
    - Tap Manage Account Key.
    - Tap the toggle to…

  16. Too many changes in settings that can't be edited

    Don't need the Scheduled email and now every email I open says Forwarding which I can't find a setting to clear please fix. This just makes it more unlikely I would ever pay for something I don't have choices in!

  18. A shame

    After 16 Years of Friendship I have to say goodbye to YAHOO mail. It is a shame, that I have now to pay for the Mail Pro versions. Otherwise I am not able to forward messages.
    I I am moving to other mail services, where the forwarding is always free of Charge. it is a pity. Laimas Jonaitis

  20. Remove ads and provide refresh button.

    Nice graphics. You should give a option to remove the ads which is coming on right side like 'try the Yahoo mail app for mobile' etc. And where is the refresh button of my mail box?
