Mail gets worse not better. Now when I click to open an email, the system bounces, changes order so if I double click, I open the wrong one.

20 years of email disappeared
20 years of Email disappeared! I have always had an internet security service monitoring my time online and never had my computer hacked, but Yahoo Mail was hacked repeatedly and Yahoo forced us to change our passwords after they learned they had been hacked. Yahoo would not let me reuse a prior password each time they reported their security had been breached and demanded we create a new one. So often this occurred, I had forgotten to record my most recently adopted password.
Today I was able to reinstate my unforgettable password and gain access to my Yahoo Mail account…

Beware of phishing scam
I just want to alert you that there is an email going around that I think is a phishing scam. The email is supposedly being sent by ATT and/or Yahoo, but the sender is ****************. It has links that my McAfee anti-virus software says are unsafe.
Thank you for letting us know! Please mark that email as Spam and the report will reach our team to investigate.

lost my password.
One can no longer recover one's password. All that's available is having a code sent to one's phone and then typing in the code. This has locked me out of my netflix account as it keeps asking for my yahoo password (it's linked to my yahoo account.) I am in the process of moving all of my important email out of yahoo and into gmail. Then I will close this account. Extraordinarily stupid, not to mention it's discriminatory towards people without smart phones (like my mother).
If you need to reset your password, you can follow our online system here:
https://help.yahoo.com/kb/sln27051.html
If you can’t sign into an account and are unable to recover it online, we offer phone support through our Yahoo Account Pro service:
https://productcentral.yahoo.com/products/yahoo-account-pro-help/?ncid=mbr_ryhacqdis00000015If you’re seeing a prompt to get a code each time you log in, you may need to turn Account Key off:

NEED OPTION TO DELETE STORED HISTORY OF RECENT ACTIVITY
Hi, this is about one's Yahoo Account Info/Recent Activity (accessed from upper right menu in Mail)
Most important, need option to delete stored history under Yahoo Account Info/Recent Activity
I see it stores activity indefinitely, going back a decade in my case
Nobody likes private history stored indefinitely on server w/o their control of the data
Thanks, J
P.S.
In addition, though this feedback related to Mail thru the menu, on the https://help.yahoo.com/kb/account page, there should be added a new feedback button more specific to Yahoo account featuresHello there,
You can remove your past activity, here’s how: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/find-remove-unusual-activity-yahoo-account-sln2073.html

phone app
The new phone app takes forever to load on my Galaxy 7 and when it finally loads, the messages are 5 hrs old. To get new messages, I have to constantly swipe from the top down, wait for the circle, then finally I can get a message that is recent. I would like my old app back please. Also, there is no HELP in the app on the phone.
Please try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. If the issue persists, try switching from WiFi to Mobile data. If you still see loading issues, please use the “give feedback” option in the app (tap on your profile picture and scroll a bit down) to send this to our engineers directly.

My birthday on yahoo not right, I wanna editing this .. I wanna to edit my birthday
My birthday on yahoo not right, I wanna editing this .. I wanna to edit my birthday
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.
Thank you!

Prove you're not robot
Why you would need to prove you're not robot, from a private verified location for a long ttime, used only for one id..? And, that too on a very first try with one id..??
You would throw this check only multiple (so many) ids used from a same location, and that too from a public, or unverified location..!!!If there’s something unusual about your sign in or recent activity, we’ll ask you to go through another verification step after you’ve entered the correct password. This helps protect your account from unauthorized access. You may be prompted to get a verification code on your Yahoo app, recovery phone number, or recovery email address for any of the following reasons:

Where is the customer support?! bye yahoo, hello gmail!
So you cannot get ANY assistance from Yahoo now without paying them money?? No thank you. I cannot get into my email, which I need to be able to do to access my bank account. You want to take money from me just to talk to someone. I've tried to send an email or contact customer service any other way but I am unable to do so unless I sign up for the pro service. Absolutely absurd! Save yourself the trouble and switch to gmail.
They close out every complaint about this as "reviewed" and I have seen no solutions…
We’d love to offer free phone support to everyone, however, free phone support is an expensive service to maintain for a free service. Most free email providers do not have any option for phone support. We care about our users, and wanted to be able to have phone support for those who want the live agent experience, and have worked hard to put together a plan that has value for everyone in order to achieve that.
