  1. Last name incorrect after 8 years!

    Yahoo! Mail needs to get their customer's last name correct. I got married 8 years ago, changed my name with them and it still sends out my emails as my maiden name. How hard is this to correct?

  3. Privacy controls

    Privacy controls on new email (Oath)
    So true! In the privacy controls, the unsubscribe option has no save button. So when you leave the page by x'ing out or use back key, it defaults to NO, CANCEL. What do you mean, we have a choice?! Totally rigged, aside from the tricky wording so people think the NO, CANCEL means no ads and cancel subscribe. What a bunch of corrupt manipulators!! Do you really think we are that stupid and need to be fleeced, exploited and box-canyoned at every turn?! How inspiring, such evil minds?! Why should we trust you to…

  4. Security - is there a way to inquire/validate, about insecure mail that asks you to upgrade

    I get mail that tells me to upgrade, it comes with Yahoo Logos, looks legit. But in these security alert days. Is there a way to validate from Yahoo, if these are coming from Yahoo?

  5. Allow us to login to our mail using a password

    It's ridiculous that I have to go to another email service to get a passcode to login. The other option is to share my phone number which is something YOU don't need.
    Allow us to login to yahoo mail without needing a passcode every time.

  6. Two-step verification needs to be an option, not Mandatory.

    Please let us CHOOSE if we want two step verification. Once we do a two step verification, that should be all we need to do while on that computer, EVER. Why make us do it EVERY TIME we want to check email?

  8. pop up

    I keep getting a pop up that I am infected with a virus. This is the message. It only appears when I log into yahoo mail. This is a Yahoo issue. Absolutely ridiculous. I called Apple and checked my computer. I have no virus. Come on Yahoo. This is your responsibility. Take care of your website so these kinds of stupid, **** pop ups don't occur.

    IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED

    We have detected a trojan virus (e.tre456wormosx) on your Mac.

    Press OK to begin the repair process.

    Test the site with another web browser like Firefox to see if the issue is specific to Chrome. Might be a good idea to scan the computer for any malware/spyware as well.

  9. remove Russian language ads

    Seeing I am based in Ukraine, there are a lot of Russian ad pop-ups (on the side). The state language is Ukrainian, so if they need to be there at all, please make it English or Ukrainian.

  11. This email account has been paid for since 2015 and was supposed to be AD FREE, but we were receiving ads constantly. I need this escalated.

    Yahoo has been receiving payments for this account to be ad free but has not delivered ad free emial until TODAY. I wish to speak with someone with authority to discuss the financial implications. Thanks.

    All of the available help options will be on our help pages through the “Contact Us” link on the left: http://help.yahoo.com

    Keep in mind that Yahoo deactivates accounts that haven’t been signed into at least once in the last 12 months. Once the account has been deactivated it’s unlikely you can recover it. You can always sign up for a new Yahoo account, but your old Yahoo ID may not be available for you to use.
