My inbox is receiving lot of bulk mail. its a cumbersome task to keep deleting 100 mails per day. Kindly disable bulk mails in inbox.
Whereas, this problem is not with other domain mail ID...only Yahoo had problem.If you’ve started to receive an endless flow of junk email, you may be the victim of spam bombing. This is a tactic used by bad actors and hackers to distract you from seeing emails that really are important to you. This can also be an indication that another account has been compromised.

I've been a customer for years - Verizon as well. Absolute worst email interface - can't even delete a contact - i'm going to google soon; embarrassing
Make sure you're following the correct options when deleting a contact:
From Yahoo Mail, click the Contacts icon.
Click the All tab.
Click on the contact's name.
Click the More options icon | Delete contact.
Click OK to confirm you want the contact deleted.
If this fails, we recommend using a different browser or performing some browser troubleshooting.

Why am I now having to go to my other email account to get a code to sign on each time?
Fix the verification code every time I sign in. I've had Yahoo mail for years and now I have to go to my other email to get a code before signing in. What is up with that all of a sudden??? It is a real pain!!!!
Authenticator apps provide secure verification codes that act as the second step in 2-step verification. After entering your password, you'll need to enter the code generated by your authenticator app to sign in. If you wish to disable it, here's how:
Sign in to your Account Security page.
Next to "2-Step Verification," click Manage.
Click Turn off.

update your spam guard i am now getting spam from yahoo groups
with yahoo groups no longer existing why do i now get spam from them/ can you update spam filter
While most of spam emails are being caught by our spam filters, occasionally some can slip through.
When this happens, it's very important to mark the email as spam, then our system will learn that messages from a specific place are not good and helps us make Yahoo Mail even better at recognizing future spam emails.
