  1. Reserving Old Emails after an account remains inactive for more than a year due to medical reasons or work related reasons

    Hi, I am in a dilemma. Sometimes back, Life had a good one me, and I was facing major challenges. For a period of time, I stayed without accessing my email. After logging in, I found that all my emails had been deleted, yet there is a very important email that I need. I t was shared in 2010. Is there any way possible that I will ever be able to see the deleted emails? I am still hopeful. My yahoo address is catherinegathungu@yahoo.com

  2. Advanced Search -- keyword with other criteria is NOT AVAILABLE

    per Yahoo Help Team -- "Regrettably, the 'Keyword' option is no longer available in the advanced search for the new Yahoo Mail. We apologize that our current articles were misleading regarding this feature. I can see how that'd be useful, though".

    In New Yahoo Mail in the top search bar, click the Advanced Search icon. The search criteria of Keyword is NOT listed per Yahoo help screen. Hence I cannot do Search for multiple criteria per Yahoo help screen -- example ALONG with sender name, date range ++ Keyword as listed on Yahoo help page at

  4. Please fix your Spam and Not Spam filtering.

    Your Spam / Not Spam is not working at all. I find Linked In constantly in Spam as well as other senders I need the mail from. I find sexually disgusting emails in both my mail and Spam. This should not even be delivered. It should be stopped by Yahoo before it gets to our email.

  5. Use Wild Cards for blocking

    I have blocked 918 total emails. I've had my email for at least 2 decades plus, come to you from a "cox.net" account. I have a junk gmail account, I have used about the same time frame and do not have near the problems. Not sure how they do it.

    It would be for benefit to block users who use key words in the subject column using wild cards. Example Sex, Missed Payment etc. or run against a blocked sender universal list.

    On top of that, it would be good to block emails not from .com or .org or…

  7. Grandfather the 1TB that accounts that have been with you for over 2 decades have had

    I am really upset and disappointed to learn that the storage on yahoo mail account I have had for over 20 years is decreasing from 1 TB down to JUST 15GB!!!!! This is outrageous and a real slap in the face to customers like me who have been with you for so long. If you have to readjust the storage capacity you give to accounts then it would have been preferable that you did that only to new accounts or at the very least, let a reasonable number of storage stay for existing accounts such as 100 GB. I am…

  10. The Restore and deleted Emails

    I have been attempting to recover several deleted emails for the past seven days, but the “Submitted Request” tab on the recovery form is not functioning. Additionally, when I click the “Contact” tab, it redirects me back to the created request instead of opening a contact option. This appears to be a system glitch, and I would appreciate assistance in resolving it. Thank you

  11. keep it free uptil 1 TB

    using Yahoo Mail for 25 years . suddenly you make it 20 GB from 1TB is unfair. Let it be 1TB for your old loyal customers

    Yes, we've announced some storage changes to align more with the market changes. Most email clients have made this change already. If you have additional questions on the storage changes, please feel free to check out our FAQs: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/yahoo-mail-storage-faq-sln37064.html.

  12. ADS NOT BLOCKING THE MESSAGE LIST

    I write to kindly suggest that Yahoo removes ads blocking the message list. The ads at the corner of the webpage serves well enough.

    Thank you.

  13. Actual Help for lost emails

    I have lost all of my in folders emails. These saved emails were important. they contain photos and information of family, education, employment, health care, legal, and auto and home repair. The emails were not from last week but years of information that was secured and needed within your email server. Please find a way to replace the emails and also provide a contact phone number or email to speak directly to a human in charge.
    thank you,

  16. The new system is a real struggle.

    The new system is a real struggle.
    The old system displayed emails in date order - newest at the top. Simple and easy to use.
    The new system seems to have no order. Its hard to find the newest email. When you want to reply its hard to find the place to type.

    Friendly reminder to always check your Settings. Yes, we introduced Inbox Categories to help organize your emails better, but we also understand that not everyone would need or want, therefore, you can disable it under your Settings and go back to having just one Inbox.

  17. The new sub-topics

    I really dislike the new headings, All, Primary, etc. It just makes it more complicated than it needs to be. The old format was much better, where everything came into either the inbox or spam box. Again, I do not see this as any kind of improvement.

  19. new e-mail looks is completely unclear.

    new e-mail looks is completely unclear. Now I had miss a lot of important information due to unclear and The appearance is unreadable. There's very little difference between read and new messages. The font is too large.

    Unfortunately, I can't revert to the old email layout. I switched to the new layout due to unclear instructions from Yahoo. The messages are completely chaotic. I'm considering canceling your service after almost 30 years.

  20. How about no ads that are for sex workers?

    My idea is that you NEVER send me nsfw ads. Ever.

    If it continues I'll have no choice but to no longer use yahoo mail.
