  2. option to block all email from a specific domain

    I am being inundated by spam from the domain store. Is there any way to block anything from that domain? It appears that that option was available in the old yahoo?

  3. Give us the option to let you block all emails you mark as Spam.

    Give us the option to let you block all emails that you mark as Spam or increase the number that we can block from 1000 to unlimited. I have received more Spam emails on my Yahoo account in the past few months than I have in the past twenty-five years. I hate to give in to the spammers and change my email address but if this continues, I may have to.

    Please make sure you are marking these emails as spam instead of just deleting. Also, if they are newsletters please make sure you unsubscribe from these. We will also share this with our anti-spam team. Thank you!

  5. Folder area to be pinned

    It is difficult to move an email to a specific folder as the new UI shows folders only when you hover over it (while drag and drop and emai)
    If you move slightly the menu disapears and you have to repeat the operation

  7. Split Windows when mouse drag over

    Please! Please! Remove this feature! Let it be a setting, rather than built in! Every single time I try and drop a email into a folder it tries to do a split view! It makes you dizzy! It makes it so you can't put your emails away with triggering that split view! If people want to have this, have a setting they can choose, but not as a default or automatic without being able to turn it off!!!! Please! Please! Turn this off!!!!

    Hi there, this is not a new feature from us, Yahoo. This is actually a new feature from Google Chrome. You can certainly disable this or turn this off under your Chrome settings. Thanks!

  8. Emails

    One idea to improve the system and service, would be for Yahoo to NOT delete 3 years of my emails and then make it only possible for me to retrieve the last 7 days. Thanks Yahoo!!!

    If your account has had no activity for 365 days, then the account is deactivated. We communicate this a few times which includes sending you an email to your alternative email account, so make sure that is updated. If you need help reinstating, contact our CC team at help.yahoo.com. They have the tools to help with these issues. Hope this helps!

  9. Mass Block Email Addresses

    Hello! Could you please add a function that allows me to block the sender for all selected emails? I get perhaps 4 dozen spam emails per day. I would like to be able to select all spam emails (less ones that shouldn't be spam) and then bulk block the sender addresses for all emails selected. I'd swear that that used to be an available function, but it went away.

    By not blocking spam senders, the daily number of new spam / scam emails tends to increase over time.

  10. Removal of ads

    Remove all ads from the dashboard because they take up too much space, making it difficult to read emails. Many users left Yahoo because of this only

    Yes, we do have a few ads in our app, but we also offer an ad-free experience (like many apps today) if you upgrade to Yahoo Mail Plus, but of course it's not mandatory. We will also share your feedback with the right team. Thanks.

  11. Improve spam mail handling

    Yahoo mail is doing an extremely bad job when it comes to handling spam and unwanted mails. Even after using the Block such mails options, my inbox keeps getting flooded with unnecessary spam and ad mails. Please fix it!

  12. Don't Block Email from Known Big Companies

    Big companies send lots of email and Yahoo seems to sometimes block them. Etrade repeatedly says they can't get through to me (cox.net) for some documents (but not all). In the past, you blocked ftb.ca.gov (but has worked recently). Email from known trusted companies should ALWAYS be delivered!! Thanks!!

  13. spam emails

    The spam emails have no way of clicking on them to select a folder in which to place them in and no unsubscribe options on their landing page. I don't want to be swamped with garbage. Please help us in being able to funnel this off our Inbox... Thanks!

  14. Blocked Email Addresses and Spam Filters

    Can we please have more than 1000 email addresses blocked. It's so easy for scammers to set up a new email address that this limit is too low.

    The filters are **** and do not work. Please provide a better, detailed description on how to set them up. For example I want to filter out all emails that have sewellenn.net in the email address. I have this at the top of my filters but it just doesn't work.

  15. Bring back BLOCKED emails

    You have removed the ability to BLOCK email senders. This is highly useful for malicious and spam senders. Now we only have the ability to delete all messages from this sender. However, this will not stop the sender. They can still send spam or worse. PLEASE restore the BLOCK SENDER option that you recently removed.

  18. Please bring back the block in the spam folder before opening the spam

    I can no longer block spam. The option is now gone. I keep getting the same spam over and over, and all I can do is keep deleting it. If I had the "block" option back, I wouldn't have to see it anymore.

  20. List of Folders

    Hi there, my mailbox screen has just suddenly changed, and not for better. Now I can't see the list of my folders on the left side - need to click on 'Folders' first, and it makes it utterly inconvenient to move emails to certain folders. Hopefully you can walk it back to what it was or let me know how I can fix it myself, if at all. Thanks
