  1. Can't access account info, just redirects back to login page

    I need to access account info to get an app password set up, but it keeps directing back to the login page and never gets to the account info page. This is critical for me for my Quickbooks account

  4. I can't block whole domains anymore. I also can't copy an email address in my inbox. Blocking spam just got a lot harder.

    I want to be able to block entire domains again. I can't even block an email now without clicking reply or forward and then copying the email address, then opening up the settings and pasting it. Then the spam email gets saved to my drafts!

  5. stop trying to delete my emails when I try to access my new e-mails. Why did you change your system which worked perfectly

    stop trying to delete my e-mails when I try to access my new e-mails. Do you have a virus? or just incompetent programmers - when things work don't change them.

  7. Lock in sort function

    When I log into my email, on my mac via your website, I have to go the sort options and select sort by unread. If I go into another folder and go back to my inbox I have to reselect sort by unread which is very annoying. How do I lock in sort by unread?

  8. Fix deleting and repeated use of sign in codes 'signing in from a new device'.....

    Deleting does not work properly, and repeatedly asks for signing codes despite signing in from the same device, over three times in the day.

  9. "blocked addresses" in "Security and Privacy" settings got lost after op in spam folder

    In spam folder, there is an option to block senders after selecting all the spams. But previous saved blocked addresses is gone after the operation.

    That is, the previous blocked addresses are all discarded, there are only the newly added ones.

    Emails in the Spam folder are not affected by the Blocked Addresses filter. Once an email is classified as Spam, it will go there regardless of any settings on the account. Our Spam filters take precedence.

  10. rotating ads are causing the font size to get big and small again

    Every time the ad in the right-hand column changes (or for animated ads, changes size) it's causing the middle panel to change size and that is triggering a 1 second change in font size to super big and then back to where it was. This is SUPER annoying and making it really hard to manage my inbox.

  11. Basic and Simple Usage

    Dont fix it..... Leave it alone if it works. Jesus, stop trying to upgrade something that is working just fine. How come I can not get to my contacts so I can remove old contacts or misspelled contact names? Its not hard to understand...people dont need options...they need something that works...basic and simple.

  13. Why, after 12/27/17, can I no longer change the default sending address from my @yahoo address to my @sbcglobal address?

    Before 12/27/17, my @yahoo and @sbcglobal.net email address were linked and compatible. Now, they no longer are. I've had to re-establish mail forwarding between the two, and now I can no longer use my @sbcglobal.net address as my default sending address.

  14. It is difficult to access the facilities at the bottom of the screen e.g. SEND; attach files etc.

    As above, since taking the last YahooMail update the bottom of the screen does not fit and essential items such as SEND; Attach Files etc are difficult to access, Also many received attachments will not open.

  15. Add an email forwarding function as overall setting for all incoming emails.

    With Gmail I can set a forwarder so all my mail both stays on Gmail server and also redirects/forwards to another address I choose. Do you do that? Please do that...

  16. Disposable addresses randomized AGAIN - please alphabetize and add search function in settings

    Disposable addresses are, again, listed in a randomized order, making it extremely time consuming to find a specific address. Please ensure that all future mail versions have alphabetized disposable addresses when composing a message AND in the settings window to add/edit/delete disposable addresses. A search bar would also be useful in the settings window.
