  1. Some of my emails are not coming through, especially those from Asia. What is the problem???

    I have friends and a few subscription services mostly in China and Australia and the emails are not coming through to me. I have checked every folder, including spam, and nothing from them. Any idea what might be the problem?

    If you’re not getting emails from a specific sender, it may be because they are sending to the wrong address or they are getting an error message when sending to you. If this is the case, you will need to have them reach out to our Postmaster department to try and get it fixed. You can also double-check your Mail settings and Spam folder to make sure everything looks good there.

    Thank you!

  6. Streamline setting mail on iPhone

    Dear sir/miss,
    Please streamline the method with which you set-up your email account on the iphone. I spend 4 hours trying to figure out why it wasn't working properly! This is after checking all my server settings, because apparently even though there is the option to log in to a yahoo account on the iphone settings, the automatics login configuration doesn't work. So I had to find the required server settings and ports to login.
    After that it still wasn't working and then I remembered that you have some idiotic "app specific" password that needs to be generated and used!…

  7. Why do I have to keep checking my folders

    Why do I have to keep checking my folders for new mail? Mark all of them they way you do the Inbox. Why can't I block unwanted mail anymore?

    You can change this setting in Yahoo Mail, please go to Settings-More Settings-Viewing email-After moving a message.

  10. Can I change my default email address?

    when I started yahoo, I used one address for the default address, but I use another yahoo address as my primary address for mail. I know I can change the reply to address on the default, but all messages from the default show the default address as the from address - this confuses people. Now I end up having both my default and my preferred addresses listed - and am needing to deal with duplicates of everything. So - can I change my original default address to my preferred address.

    The quickest way to do so from the web is to go to your inbox/folder, scroll a long way down, and then use the keystroke Ctrl+A to select all visible emails (or the top checkbox in the Yahoo Mail app). The further you scroll down, the more you can select at once.

    You can delete a large number of emails at once this way, and I find it works best in groups of 1-2k. The maximum amount you can delete at once is 10k. Keep in mind that larger groups may take more time to delete. You can still empty the Spam and Trash folders all at once by clicking on the Trashcan icon that appears next to their names when hovering over them with the cursor. New Mail also allows you to empty entire folders at once using the arrow to the right of the folder; just click on…

    If you’re missing emails, you can try doing a a Search in your mailbox or an email restore. Be sure to check the Trash folder for any restored emails.

    The best you can do is to report those messages as spam. (https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN3402.html) Depending on the number of similar reports, our Anti-Spam filter may take some time to react and start actively blocking them from reaching you.

    In the meantime, you can either create filters (https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mail-for-desktop/SLN15994.html?impressions=true) or block those email addresses:

    You can turn off notifications, go to Settings-Notifications and toggle off the Desktop notifications option.

  16. Password problem.

    Every time I try to sign in, it makes me change my password. I have to go to "forgot my password" and wait for a text with a code. Irritating! Too many hoops to jump through to get help.

    I am still receiving spam emails in my inbox, even after I have marked them as spam numerous times. My inbox is flooded with unwanted emails, and it is too cluttered.
