  2. Please allow user to block more than 1000 spam emails.

    Please allow user to block more than 1000 spam emails. I have exhausted 1000 limit in 6 months with increasing spam mails daily and now can not block any more senders. I am getting 15 to 20 spam emails daily. Or you needs to increase your security.

  3. Old emails deleted

    I've lost all emails from before 2006. I know that's a long time ago but I had a lot of memorable messages from before that date that I would be keen to read again. Is there any way to recover them? and is there any way to prevent further messages from being deleted?

  4. Email Storage used

    Provide dedicated link or Icon to find out how much storage is currently being used. The pathway suggested in your "help"/guidance gave no options beyond "Add or Manage Accounts" and "Sign Out". IMHO worse than useless. If you're going to hand out what are effectively threats then at least have the information in them outside of the threats be useful.

    Thanks Steve for your feedback. Super helpful and we agree. We have shared this with the team. A status bar and a different landing page for your storage numbers will be launched on May 5th, but we understand that you would like it now. We have shared this with the team and we hope to launch it much earlier. Again, thank you!!

  5. Remove the threat of losing emails because of storage

    Hello, I do not understand why there is a limit on my storage, I just delted 10,000 (2) times, I do not have time for the threat of losing emails unless I purchase a plan?? This is not FAIR!!

  6. malware ads by Yahoo

    Stop sending ads that are malware. I keep getting them thinking they are real ads but they are spam/malware. If my computer gets infected because of one of your ads you will be held responsible

  9. 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.

  12. 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.

    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.

  14. 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

    We encourage you to read at the top of the Uservoice header (forum). There we provide What’s New, Coming Soon and some Tips. There we mention how to disable Inbox Categories: All, Priority, etc. Definitely read those as we update them with useful information. Thanks.

    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!

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. 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…
