  3. The attach GIF option is no longer available.

    For years I've had regular Yahoo mail with access to the Attach GIF option with numerous GIFs to choose from. As of 10/16/23 this option disappeared. Please fix.

  5. More weekly password change

    The issue in https://yahoo.uservoice.com/forums/600772-new-mail/suggestions/47493353-stop-weekly-password-change persists.

    I've disabled K-9 mail - and still Thunderbird gets de-authenticated and demands that "because accounts like yours are targeted" and/or "unusual activity detected". I must again change my password. And then I get told to enable 2FA -- or "remind me later". No option to NOT enable 2FA. Which I was happy to do - until I realized that enabling it is what started this downward slide.

    This is really, really painful. As noted previously, this is not increasing my security. And not telling me WHAT THE ISSUE IS, doesn't get it fixed. Continually changing…

    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 is an important security feature that helps to 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:

    • Yahoo notices suspicious account activity.
    • You're using an unfamiliar browser or device.
    • You're traveling away from your usual location.
    • You sign in while using a VPN or a proxy server.
    • You've logged in with a private or incognito window.
    • There are many attempts to sign in with incorrect passwords.
    • The "First time signing in from this device" message appears.
    • You've cleared your browser history or data cache including cookies.

  7. I think you are blocking Zoom invites. Please stop!

    I sign up to a number of webinars, but I never get the Zoom invite in my ymail email. If I use a different (gmail!) address it works just fine. I think my Ymail account may have become obsolete. Gmail here I come.

  10. Ridiculous recaptcha

    Your recaptcha is ridiculous. I had to go through at least 9 screens to access my email today. Of course, I also had to approve my sign-in with a mobile phone alert, as well. Security should not require both of those in addition to a password. I am ready to switch completely to gmail - after using yahoo for decades.

  12. Remove "Gift card" notifications

    I have had a notification for a CVS Gift Card for over a week that I can NOT get rid of in my Android ap. If I hide it, it comes right back. No matter what I have done with it, including collecting it, it comes right back, above the usual ad in the ap. VERY Frustrating. May have to switch to GMail as my major contact method after so many years of Yahoo Mail.

  13. Settings to change name do not change email settings for such; some help pages do not tell the solution

    Settings to change name do not change email settings for such; some help pages do not tell the solution.

    The problem: I needed to change the name that appears in messages I send using Yahoo webmail interface.

    The "obvious" solution that I tried: in the page where I see my inbox folder, I opened the account settings, changed my name, surname, and even tried the nickname (which I did not even used before!). Nothing changed. Refreshed all pages. Logged out and in again. Cleared all cookies and site data before logging in again. The unwanted name stayed there.

    Contacting the…

  15. unwanted emails

    I would like to know why Yahoo is not doing its job of preventing hackers from getting into our email??? When I first signed up with you (many years ago) You use to stop unwanted mail and now you are trying to force us into paying you in order to stop unwanted mail. I think you let us all down YAHOO!

  16. Add Spell Check to Yahoo Mail.

    Yahoo Mail should have a spell check feature. I'm not the world's beat typist or speller. But I write a lot of emails. I could make very good use of a spell checker and I'm positive there are other who can/will use it.

  20. Outlook continually requires logging in now

    Something changed recently with accessing Yahoo mail from outlook. Now I am continually hounded for a user name and password. It's no more secure than previously - may even be a little less secure. It is clogging up outlook and making a big nuisance of itself.
