    The best way to get rid of spam is to mark as spam, not delete or block! This helps with your spam filters and does exactly what blocking does, prevents that email from coming to your Inbox. So please keep marking as spam! It is free and part of regular Yahoo Mail. Thanks!

  2. block spam option

  3. Das Fenster der Mitteilung soll der E-Mail entsprechen. Die Reklame sollen unterdrückt werden.

    Die erhaltene E-Mail ist breiter als das dazu bereitstellte Fenster. Daher muss man die darunter liegende Leiste hin- und herziehen. An einem bestimmten Moment die ganze E-Mail ist endgültig verschwunden.
    Und das ist nicht zum ersten Mal.
    Früher konnte man die Reklame mindestens für kurze Zeit nach rechts schieben. Der dafür dienende Pfeil ist inzwischen verschwunden.
    Je neuer ist die Version, desto weniger freundlich ist es.

  4. Spam is misbehaving

    Suddenly some of my mail is being sent to spam even though I have been in reguular contact with the senders beforehand and they are in my address book. Why? What can I do about it? I am not using the most recent version of Yahoo Mail because I did not find it user friendly.

  5. Message deleted pop up

    While I appreciate the ability to undo a deleted message, the message deleted pop up comes up over the top of the categories (All, Primary, Offers, Social, Newsletters) where we have to click to see the rest of the emails so we have to x out of the pop up before we can check the rest of the email. This is becoming frustrating. Can you move the pop up box up over the search bar? or at least above where the categories are to see the rest of the unopened emails?

  6. Spam detection

    Hi !The handling of spam messages is very frustrating. Many important emails are frequently marked as spam, and the spam folder is often forgotten. Messages from the same sender are treated inconsistently — sometimes they appear in the inbox, and other times they end up in the spam folder. In fact, about half of the messages in the spam folder are not spam at all.

    I suggest considering a different approach:

    Allow users to disable the spam‑filtering function entirely so that all emails go directly to the inbox.

    Allow all emails to go to the inbox, but highlight potential spam…

  7. Signing in on new version

    I kept getting my yahoo emails that I have via sky returned. I was using the 6.16.2 version and had no problems until about 2 days ago when emails I had sent started to be returned , one of the suggestions was to update version, so I uninstalled that version and put new version app in my phone. Now I can't even sigh in to my sky/Yahoo email account. Sky are useless.
    I'm 73 not very tech savvy could you please help.

  11. Make sure your ads that pop up in my messages are NOT Spam

    I have had 3 messages from a James Brown in my SPAM folder. When I went to my Inbox I found the same garbage there listed as an ad. It is not ok to place SPAM as an ad and to also include a box that makes it look like the message can be deleted but instead opens the ad.

  12. Add Reminder

    Bring back the Add Reminder function to Yahoo Mail.

    It allowed me to select an email in the mobile app, use the menu to choose “Add Reminder”, select a date and time. At that date/time, there was a Notification, like the receipt of a new email, showing that email. Simple and powerful.

  16. Idea for Ads

    how about if you pick ONE place to include ADS!!! Either use the side bar, because there does not appear to be a way to remove these ADS, OR REMOVE THE ADS FROM THE HEADING OF EVERY SINGLE EMAIL RECEIVED IN MY IN BOX. I am sure I am not the only one with this idea. Like we are not inundated with an abundance of ads on every device and oh yes, i am aware as are most of my counterparts we can pay $2.99 thru $20.00 per month to remove the ads from our devise. but we are still…

    Yes, we do have a few ads in our app, but we also offer an ad-free experience (like many apps today) if you upgrade to Yahoo Mail Plus, but of course it's not mandatory. We will also share your feedback with the right team. Thanks.

  17. reduce spam

    A real message is preceded by a "select" box. I notice lately that several "ad" entries use a select box instead of a logo. If you select the ad, you will get a page filled with spammy messages about computer problems. It took me a while to identify this spam by the "ad" identifier before the subject line. I suggest you filter out all ads that use the select box since they are spam, to keep other users from accidentally triggering spam.

  18. Don't allow deletion of entire email history with one keystroke!

    I have DELETED my entire email history TWICE IN TWO WEEKS when trying to delete Offers. You have to safeguard that better! I am going to be crippled if my account can't be restored quickly. This is cruel and unnecessary, and certainly enough to drive anouther user right away from Yahoo!

    I did put in a request to have emails restored. I'll assume that I'm not the only one who's done this recently, if you are now restoring emails... PLEASE make it much more difficult to delete an entire history!!! What a crazy idea THAT was...
