  1. ads in the user default language

    I expect and can accept ads in a free mail service and when viewing videos, but would it make sense to have a filter on these ads so the ads displayed are in my default language. Now I get ads based on location that are not of interest and in a language that I have no interest in viewing. seems like it should be a basic parameter, maybe I am missing a settng

  3. Security

    Your new Yahoo Mail is not secure. Whenever I hit Log Out, it does not completely log me out me, because whenever I go to Yahoo Mail again, it automatically signs me in even though I do not have that option checked. Also, revert back to the old Classic Mail design. More secured. More visually appealing. Why fix something that is not broken? This new one is flawed.

  4. Now I'm getting refused emails that I'm apparently sending to myself,

    Apparently your myip## spams are now refused from me to me thru Mail Delivery Subsystem so I can't block this garbage.

  5. Allow a choice of language.

    The favorite location does not necessarily match the language the person wants.

    You can change the language on your account by going to your Account Info page and then to the “Preferences” section. There’s a dropdown menu there with a list of supported languages.

  6. Why do my incoming emails go directly to trash!

    Why is it impossible for me to have my incoming emails (many from senders who have sent me emails for many years) go directly to trash! I have spent many hours and tried many solutions--none worked. My emails still go to trash!

    If you hover your mouse over an email, at the end of the line the trash can appears. Click on it to delete the email.

  9. I don't like the new format. The following are the major issues.

    Here is what I hate about the new format.
    1. I always change the viewing options to view by unread messages. With the new format, I have to do that when going from 1 folder to another and then back to the inbox. I want an option to save that format.

    1. I really hate the fact that the folders are not bolded when there are unread messages in them. I have a ton of folders and it is harder to notice the number next to the name when the name isn't bolded. Also it is missing the total number of…

  10. Need a way to export a large number of emails. It is too time consuming otherwise:(

    Really need an option to export emails so they can be saved to a hard drive. Painful otherwise when you need hundreds of emails...

  12. New email issue when replying all

    You closed this feedback but it is still an issue.

    New email issue when replying all to an email:

    If I hit reply and then realize, after I have typed the email, that I want to reply to all.....there is no reply all to click on like in our old classic email.

    Also, still have the issue with this:
    When I click on the small reply arrow, this area is where my mouse stays when I start typing the body of the email....but while the mouse is sitting where I left it when I click on the reply button, it…

    The reply all button is next to the reply button. If you hit reply and decide to reply to everyone simply click on the reply all option (double arrows pointing to the left) If you are still having issues follow the troubleshooting steps from this help article: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN3223.html

  13. changed my name but still shows old name

    I've been trying to change my Last Name to the real one for years, but even when I change it from the settings it still shows the old one, which is wrong and kind of a joke I did back in school days. Now I use this email sometimes for work and it's embarassing to show my last name like this to others! Note that I've tried "https://help.yahoo.com/kb/sln28072.html", changed it to what I want to be shown, emailed someone and it still showed him my old name!

    Make sure you changed your sending name on all your Yahoo accounts, you can check this by going to Settings-More Settings-Mailboxes, then click on the account and then ‘’Your name’’.

  15. SPAM

    I have selected the same emails in my Spam folder dozens of times and clicked the 'Not Spam' button. It moves the emails back into the inbox where the belong but, a few minutes later, they go right back into my Spam folder. Please fix the 'Not Spam' functionality. So many of my necessary emails end up in Spam and I cannot correct it. Instead, I have to comb through hundreds of junk emails to find any new needed emails. I probably miss some of them because they are buried in the junk.

  16. This Forum Blocks Posts from My Paid Yahoo Small Business Account!

    If I try to post here from my paid Yahoo Small Business Account I get this error message:
    "You must be over 13 years of age to use this Yahoo service"

    There is no way to tell the system my age in the new Yahoo Small Business Account!

    Are you aware of this absurd bug?

    First please try clearing your cookies cache and history, also you can try using a different browser.

    After that, you should be able to see the “Views” section just under “Inbox”, “Unread”, or “Trash” folders. Just click on Show and you will be able to see your photos or documents.

    If you are still encountering issues , reach out to us on Twitter or @YahooCare so we can further investigate this.
