  2. Font Settings

    You need to add a way to adjust Fonts in mail, with the white back ground the text needs to be darker for us OLDER users. I have gone into the Chrome settings and changed everything there but it has no effect on Yahoo Mail.

    A little help please.

  3. REVERSE THE NUMBER OF DAYS FOR TRASH AND SPAM MAIL IS KEPT

    Please reverse the number of days trash and spam are automatically deleted. Currently trash is after 7 days and spam is 30. I would prefer spam to be removed as fast as possible due to hacking concerns so 7 is a better fit. Trash should be 30 days. I find that I go to my trash file to search for an email with important information that I need within a 30 day period.

    Hi. For security reasons, it isn't possible to update or change the date of birth listed on your Yahoo account, even if you entered it incorrectly when you first registered your account. You'll need to open a new account if you'd like your account to reflect your accurate info.


    If you got married, changed your name, or just want to reinvent yourself you can easily do it in Yahoo Mail by changing your sending name, that is displayed to your recipients when they receive an email from you.


    1. Sign in to Yahoo Mail.
    2. Click the Settings menu icon | More Settings .
    3. Click Mailboxes.
    4. Select the account you want to edit.
    5. Click under 'Your name' to delete or edit your sending name.
    6. Click Save.


    If you wish to change your profile name, sign in to the Account info page, click on the Personal Info tab, then click on ''Update…

  6. why do i have to log in e-v-e-r-y time when my daughter, who has an account you doesn't have to?

    This is stupid I don't have time to play around & suggest things that never get fixed anyway.

  11. inbox spacing

    The Inbox Spacing is STILL too large, even at the smallest setting.

    Stop wasting our time and our space. Are you trying to force users to spend more time scrolling to give more ad-viewing time?

    Many users have raised this issue, and the posts are marked as Reviewed and closed. How about you actually FIX it?

  16. Turn off automatic downloading of embedded images

    By default, turn off automatic downloading of images in emails. Everyone knows this is the largest tracking mechanism in emails and puts the user at risk of being spammed. This keeps getting re-enabled and it is a huge security flaw.

  18. Stop making changes that force things on people

    Block addresses no longer works and viewing raw messages only works if you open the email. The whole point to viewing the raw message is to track who the email is coming from WITHOUT OPENING IT!! If it is spam than the spammer knows you opened the email. HOW CAN YOU IMPROVE? Stop forcing things on people!!! As you can see by all the feedback, few people wanted these changes you have imposed against the will of the people.

    Hi there,

    To view the raw message without opening the mail, check the box next to the message you wish to view, then click on the ellipsis (three dots) at the top of the message plane (next to “Spam”. From the dropdown menu, select “View raw message”.

    Thanks,

  19. Give option of default descending order for inbox

    It would be kind of nice not to have to change the order in which my mail was displayed to descending order every time I use Yahoo Mail. This seems like kind of an obvious option other webmail services offer. And it's always seemed to me most natural and easiest, especially in using Yahoo Groups, to read emails in the order in which they arrived.
