Deleted all emails
Deleting emails of “inactive” users after just 12 months is an abuse of public trust — especially when no notice is provided to even the back-up email on file. If these are truly unable to be recovered (and you’ve erased our entire histories) you can kiss your customers GOODBYE!
Yahoo Mail accounts are only deleted for inactivity if they have not been accessed in the past 12 months. Please see this help page for more information:
https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mobile-mail/sln29338.html
If you are missing some mail and not all of your mail, you may try the mail restore process to recover lost messages if lost within the past 7 days. More information can be found here:

Thank you!

I am an ACTIVE user since nearly 20 years, using my email account daily and all my mails have been deleted without warning. I will contact my attorney next week.

I agree that it is very wrong to delete our accounts because of inactivity without warning.

Just signed in for the first time in a while - and ALL of my emails have been deleted. How can I get these back? There is irreplaceable information and communication of huge sentimental value. What is going on?

I read several emails from my sons school then the following day I went to print them out and they just disappeared. I am so angry that yahoo just erased them without my permission and
I am so frustrated because I have spent a lot of time trying to find those emails and I can’t ! Really need those emails ! Why is yahoo allowing this to happen and when are they going to correct the problem and recover everyone’s emails that yahoo deleted without permission or
Any warning/notice -

I just lost all of my childhood emails with my crush, which I would return to every three years just for the sake of good memories and now they’re all gone. Please recover our emails! They’re eleven years old, and now they’re gone!! D,x

Lost all my pictures and memories without even a heads up. How stupid and petty. I’ve had this email for 16 years and they deleted everything. All my memories and pictures. This company deserves to go under for this sh$&. Can’t believe them. I’ll never use their email system or news channels ever again.

Letters from my love, gone along with her. Haven’t logged on in awhile but I always had comfort knowing those memories would always be there waiting for me.
