  4. Help me get my with my Cox Outlook e-mail format that I had before the latest update.

    When Cox hired Yahoo to handle the Cox.net email, I received support with a live tech to get the Outlook platform working in Yahoo. With this new update, I cannot get Outlook to work. I need personal customer service or a way for chat to walk me through this problem. Just having no customer support available is a nightmare. Help!

  5. This SUCKS!!!

    I am looking for a 3rd party program to handle my email as your new look and whatever SUCKS (and not in a good way). I spend more time trying to find stuff all for you fluff. go back to the classic / basic system or give a choice to do so.

  6. Adding email address to contacts

    I've tried, unsuccessfully, to add email addresses to my contacts I couldn't get them to SAVE, because I never saw a SAVE BUTTON. . It must be operator error, but I am wondering if this is a glitch in the new system and others are having the same difficulty?

  8. "Primary" mail

    You could make it easier for a user to define what THEY want to be "Primary" mail. Yahoo has made that decision for me, choosing a website I rarely hear from versus one I get mail from every single day. This makes no sense to me, and I have no idea how to change it.

  10. Fix the Log in time mess

    What makes it necessary for users having to spend 10, 15 or more minutes to log in. Based on internet comments some users wait as long as an hour.
    Every day I spend at least 10 to 15 minutes waiting to log in and it is frustrating. Why?
    What makes the wait time necessary?
    This has only started happening in the past year to year and a half and I do not understand.
    Whitelisting yahoo mail does not help.
    Whay is the solution?
    Everything I do related to mail moves at a snails pace.

    But choosing to continue with basic Mail brings me to the Inbox which sends me back to the same message!

  18. Stop popping up the 'click to save it for later'

    It hangs my browser. I click the up arrow to go to the next email, and that thing pops up . I can't do anything until I hit the x on it every time.
    I'm just trying to hit the up arrow a few times to read my emails and now I have to go click the x every single time.

  20. Regarding deleting all messages

    The Yahoo instructions are a little missleading on this page: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/delete-emails-yahoo-mail-sln28054.html
    They say:
    1. Select 1 or more messages by checking the boxes next to the email.
    2. Alternatively, click the Select All icon Select all image in mail at the top to select all displayed messages.
    3. Click the Delete icon Image of the Delete icon. at the top of the page.
    4. Click Ok if prompted.

    2 suggests this is an either/or option, but you HAVE to select one message for the menu that provides "All" to appear. Otherwise, the only ALL to select is the one that
