  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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?

  6. I no longer have my old mobile phone but I need access to my yahoo e-mail account

    I no longer have my old mobile phone (it was disposed of). Yahoo will not let me have access to my e-mail account because Yahoo returns a prompt that says to check the code sent to my old mobile phone, even though I do still have my username AND password and Yahoo accepts both my valid username and valid password.

    Without the old mobile phone, Yahoo makes my sign-in fatal even with my e-mail and password accepted by Yahoo. Please help ASAP! There were important e-mails that I need to access.

    Thank you in advance for help from…

  7. Fix the app/two step verification. Repeatedly the codes provided did not work in the apps. OVER AND OVER. Might be time to leave Yahoo

    I’ve been trying to log in repeatedly on my iPad IN THE APP. I’ve used text to phone and code sent to third-party email address and nothing works. I must have tried a dozen times. I’m finding the experience very frustrating.

  8. Mails auto-forwarding: Cannot pay or ask from helpdesk to do it

    I need to forward my emails to a different account for a period of time. It is not possible to buy Pro in my region (Greece). How can I do it? It should be possible to request it at least from support.

  9. Can you please revert to the old way of signing in over a computer?

    Why re you asking us to validate the sign in request from a mobile phone or email or text. This is ridiculous and an aboslute waste of time, especially that we access the app directly. So security is not the issue here.

  11. Sign in with Outlook and Apple mail app

    Had trouble signing in to yahoo mail through Outlook and the Iphone mail app, turns out it was because yahoo deems this as a "less secure" security, despite the fact that the only service I have ever used that was insecure was in fact yahoo during the 2016 data breach. This seems like a convoluted and not well sign posted issue. Yahoo said that as Outlook and Iphone mail apps are not a yahoo apps, that it wasn't their issue, despite the problem being from their security. After finding…
