  1. advertisements need monitoring

    Hey, you guys need to look at your advertisers a bit more carefully. Yesterday, I had one of the ads that go between emails that emulated an email. Its icon was a square that almost exactly matched the select/deselect checkbox. I clicked it by accident and it went to a popup-laden website that locked my browser. I ended up having to hard shut off and restart things to get to the point where I could close it.

  3. advertisement is a virus

    In my inbox, you have advertisement lines about every 20 lines or so. There is now a particular advertisement that is disguised as a regular line in my inbox, it even has the little check mark box out to the left of it as if you could check that box and then delete it move or call it spam, well guess what happens when you try to check that box? It opens a new tab and things start going off, because it is some kind of virus, malware bug or something of that nature. I can't remember the exact name…

  4. INVASIVE SPAM/PHISHING/SPYWARE ads pretending to be something else

    There is an "ad" that is presenting itself as email from a company called "Mortle" and the topic changes - from "protecting investments" to "food benefits". Even hovering over the title line will activate the invasive SPAM and PHISHING software.

    We should be able to safely delete these "Ads" without activating their SPYWARE.

  5. scam Ad email

    You have an ad that is a scam that causes havoc. It may be an email but they have circumvented the ability to mark it as spam.

    Mortle Ad Protect Your retirement savings from inflation

    If you click on the checkbox or anywhere on the subject line it goes full screen and says Microsoft Defender has detected a virus call a number to resolve. it also disables your mouse. Those not tech savy enough to get out of it will call and fall prey to their scam.

  8. how to block infected advertising from taboola

    Sir/madam, I have been receiving infected advertising, via taboola. as it is marked as advertising I cannot block it. it continues to pop up in my e-mail disguised with a check box like other e-mail, causing accidental clicks which opens the infected content, causing me to have to clean my computer each time. can advertisers content be blocked or screened for virus content?

  9. Details below

    Hi - just gone onto the new yahoo email which seems quicker and cleaner to use. However one thing is really annoying. When I press Inbox it goes to primary emails and not all emails. This means I could easily miss some emails. How can I set it so that my default setting is that it will always go back to All Emails?
    Thank you
    Alan

  13. Please remove malicious advertiser

    Hello.

    My yahoo webmail page is loading huntforenenst.com as a side banner advertiser.

    My carrier router firewall is blocking this website as malicious, and sending complaints to me.

    https://www.joesandbox.com/analysis/1860590/0/executive

    Reports that this site is either phishing or trying to scam.

    Please report this/transfer to the yahoo security division.

    Hope this advertiser can be removed.

    Thank you

    Mark

  14. Thank you so very much to Yahoo care

    Friends at Yahoo,

    I was just able to log back in both my Yahoo & AOL email accounts. Thanks so much to Yahoo & finally I am back & so much relieved & added more recovery emails to both.

    I will post my compliment online next week about Yahoo. I did pick my first ever email right 22 years ago with Yahoo.

    AOL REALLY SUCKS, especially comparing to Yahoo head to toes about this log back in mess.

    Thanks so much , Yahoo!

  18. Filters

    You used to be able to "filter" emails straight from the body of the email. Now there's not an option for that. Instead you have to open the settings, create a filter, going back and forth to the actual message to create the filter. Bring back the option of "filter emails like this" in the body of the email.

  19. deletion message

    The Deletion Message box location needs to be moved. It shows up right over the Archive, Move, Delete and Spam options making it almost impossible to just continue to delete (or w/e action you are trying to do) each email as it shows up. You have to either wait for the message to go away or click out of it and then select another option for the currently viewed email. Please move this to either the left/right hand side of the page so its not covering up anything.

  20. Please help!

    Please help!

    I can not find a simple way to contact Yahoo for support in Australia and this forum is my last resort. When I log-in to my Yahoo business email I am prompted to 'update my mailbox' which I have done over and over again for the past couple of months. Several times I have received emails asking me to update even though I have and that I will be signed out on April 15. I can't reach my email on my Gmail app on my phone, it asks me to 'verify my credentials' and according to Yahoo help…
