  1. remove ads that prompt virus alerts.

    My inbox always has an AD that appears like a new mail message. If accidently opened it prompts a virus alert. Does Yahoo monitor or control the ads presented?

    Hi Joseph, it would be helpful if you could send screenshots of these ads, or the security issue to oasis.mail.feedback@yahooinc.com. That way we can share with our team and see what ads or clients they might belong to. Thanks.

  4. Get rid of this BAD ad

    This is a link to one of your ads. It shows up as an actual email from "Sariyah Clarke" for "senior food" or something like that, complete with a check box to delete etc. If you click on the box to delete you end up with a malware or other type virus site that warns of ms breach etc. Please remove this from your ads!

    Hi there, instead of sending us links, which can't be opened as these are links to your Inbox, it's a privacy issue, please instead send us screenshots of the ad and what happens when you accidentally click it..to oasis.mail.feedback@yahooinc.com. Thanks.

  5. Second screen that pops on the left side

    How do i stop this annoying second window from popping up to the left of my screen? That is the dumbest idea anyone ever had.

    Hi there, this is not our idea nor is it a feature from Yahoo. This is a new feature/addition from your browser, Google Chrome. You can disable the split-view under your Google Chrome settings. Thanks.

  6. Split screen

    Since several months, when I go to move an email into a folder on the left the folders move to the right so that I have to fiddle every tome to get in into the folder. It's something to do with split screen option, but I dont understand what that's for and dont know how to make it stop doing it. Its really arduous to file my emails now. An explanation of how to undo this function would be helpful

  7. Can I block a certain advertiser form the adds or change the type of advertising I see?

    allow users to change ads or categories of adds to meet our needs. Not just what we have been browsing. For example, I had been shopping online for Christmas, now I keep getting adds for those stores, which I will not shop at again until Christmas next year. How about the option to change categories from retail stores to maybe travel, or vehicles. That might entice me to purchase from them.

    Hi Melani, yes you can check your storage in the left hand column. From Desktop, look at the left hand naviagion, you will see the a cloud icon and then Storage next to that icon. It's below your folders and "more." There you can manage your storage. Hope this helps!

  11. create split view

    Whenever dragging an email into a folder I now receive a "Create Split View" column that comes up on the left side of the window. It doesn't appear to provide any functionality and is incredibly annoying. Can this be disabled? Considering moving away from Y! Mail if I can't find a solution.

  12. split view

    Every time I try to drag and drop a message from my inbox into a folder, if I don't move it super fast it automatically turns into a split-view screen. If I hover, even for just a second it turns into a split-screen and I don't have enough time to drop the email into a folder. It's driving me bonkers! I like to drag and drop rather than click on "move" to a folder because it's faster. But this new update is annoying. At least give us an option to avoid split view from automatically showing up when you hover…

  13. remove the auto split screen shift when the cursor is trying to move mail into files

    Can we turn off the split screen function whenever we try to move mail into folders. It is very annoying when the screen shift into the split screen mode and does not move the file and we have to move the cursor back and try again. The split screen should be selectable from the setting and not automatically moving around to create this annoyance. A very dumb design.

  17. Dating ads

    There is no way I can stop dating ads. Nothing to click on to stop even temporarily. Please, please end these ads. My husband has access to my email. These are highly troublesome! I've tried everything outside of having to spend my hard-earned money to block or even temporarily stop them. Anything Yahoo can do is most appreciated.

  18. false security ads

    Ads that present a false sense of a security threat SHOULD NOT be presented on the email platform. Ads are fine for a free product, but showing ads that state that a virus is detected, should not be present in the platform. (Presented by good ole McAfee!).... Stop encouraging people to worry about their computers when there's no threat!
