  1. Show SENDER EMAIL address in SPAM folder (not SENDER NAME)

    PROBLEM:

    The SENDER NAME is the most obvious way a spammer tries to fool users - including using a "correct email address" in the sender field.

    The FIRST thing I do to identify spam is to check the ACTUAL sender email. Either by hovering or hitting reply.

    SOLUTION:

    Show the ORIGINATING EMAIL address, NOT the SENDER NAME for mails in the SPAM box. This makes it MUCH harder for spammers to mislead users.

  2. improve your spam filter.

    Lately the yahoo spam filter has been almost non-existent. I have flagged the same emails as spam for the last two weeks and the very next day I will get two or three more. Almost all of my my spam was filtered and now hardly any of it is. Your spam filter does not work.

  3. Ads

    We should be able to opt out of certain ads on our email home page. I do not want certain ads popping up on my home page. I know that we have to have those annoying ads on our screen, but we should be able to opt out of ones we find offensive for some.

  5. Can't sign in

    I have not been able to sign in to the Yahoo Mail for Android app since December 26th!!!! I've talked to your customer care people twice and get a run around and get told I'm supposed to pay a premium price for full customer service assistance like what company has the audacity to charge your customers for support help for their app???!!!! I have used Yahoo mail since I can't tell you when years and
    years and years and you guys seem to hardly care that your Android app has not been working for weeks and weeks. I've checked Down…

  7. sort by sender

    This e-mail is terrible, you need a sort program that sorts incoming e-mails by the sender in this way it would be much easier to go through LIKE EARTHLINK does!

  9. Allow more than 3 URL blocks. Yahoo does not appear to have automatic spam blocking

    This category should be security or just usability of Yahoo mail. The amount of spam that gets through is bizarre. Why not block the junk mail coming from suspect countries. Every other mail system has a junk mail folder to put the spam in. Many email addresses are many random characters, those could easily be blocked. Since spam is not blocked, allow us to block more than 3 URLs so we can at least stop the continuously changing email addresses from coming in on the same ridiculous URLs.

  10. REMOVE new pop-up notification feature that one has unread mail!

    PLEASE REMOVE that notification pop-up that I have unread mail in my yahoo account or secondary account pop-up. It occurs with every new start of using Yahoo mail. Exceedingly annoying to have to remove it every time I want to go directly to see my incoming email! The feature is a nuisance!

  15. Incoming emails

    I can not find how to make INCOMING emails in larger print. I found how to change font in COMPOSING emails, but the print on the incoming emails seem small. Not sure if I am the only person who thinks this could be improved -- as one has choices on composing.

  17. ads with nudity/sexual content

    Etsy ads contain bare female breasts. I click on the X to close it and report inappropriate sexual content - and it immediately reappears. If sexually provocative images persist, I will switch to the Gmail interface - and your advertisers will lose me completely. I am NOT willing to pay you to remove offensive ads - that amounts to extortion.

  19. stop all third party ads

    Stop all Annoying / nuisance third party keeps popping up on your screen all the time. Sometime in the middle, right, left-hand side of the screen in your inbox. Sometimes it appears in the spam folder too. Very frustrating when nuisance/annoying ads pops right up; when you're doing something important. For example, looking at your bills etc. This need to be done URGENTLY. So, no more nuisance or annoying ads.

  20. Still can't get your spam straight

    I need three more sets of fingers to count the number times I've reported the same sender as NOT SPAM, and yet here it is still going to my spam folder. What does it take to STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING? Besides moving to another email system provider? And by the way thanks for causing me to miss out on important information, because you least you could do but DON'T do is to let us know when you put good emails in spam.
