  1. Blocking spam from inbox

    There should be FREE telephone support for customers since when someone blocks email addresses, the emails continue to come through.

  2. Run Filter Now for Emails

    It would be really helpful if filters could be applied to emails already in the inbox, not just new ones. A “Run filter now” option or the ability to reapply filters to existing folders would save a lot of time when organizing older messages.

  5. Spam filtering needs great improvement

    Please improve spam filtering. Many emails show to be from legitimate companies and show up in Primary, but are all a bunch of **** from random email addresses. Need to enhance spam filtered to weed out all this ****.

  6. in box

    Hello Yahoo Support Team,

    I am writing to express my disappointment and concern about the recent change to Yahoo Mail’s view format that significantly reduces the visible email space and effectively forces users to subscribe to a paid plan to regain a usable interface.

    This change has a direct, negative impact on my ability to manage email efficiently. The reduced view area makes it harder to read messages, triage my inbox, and work quickly—tasks that used to be straightforward on the free service. Requiring a subscription to restore basic functionality feels like a forced monetization that undermines the value I…

  7. spam folder now hidden

    Please include Spam as one of the choices along the top of the screen (in addition to All, Primary, Offers, Social and Newsletters. This is important because you are still putting some legitimate (primary) emails in a Spam category but you've basically hidden access to those emails. Because you occasionally mark some emails incorrectly as spam, and because it is so difficult to access those emails they are going unnoticed.... which is obviously not good. Actually I wish you would do away with Spam folder altogether (so I wouldn't have to worry about missing a legitimate email). Thanks for listening.

  8. Duplicate attachments

    It seems that all my old emails now have the attachments duplicated. For example if the original email had attachment X, attachment Y, and attachment Z it now still has those been then it also has a second copy of attachment X, attachment, Y and attachment Z. This has just seemed to start happening in the last few weeks and I do not understand why. I have had the free yahoo mail service for almost 20 years and recently noticed that yahoo mail is now putting storage limits on this account type and wanting those with large amounts of data…

  13. when adding STAR to an email, please stop marking it for deletion

    When I mark an email with a star, new mail also marks the check box so it can get deleted unintentionally. Please stop this. I star an email because it is important--not to mark it for deletion.

  14. obscured selection boxes in yahoo mail

    Not sure what to call the little graphics that cover the selection boxes in yahoo mail listing. You can see behind them by hovering over them but that means that if you select several emails you can only see the one you're hovering over to tell which are selected. I've accidently deleted many emails because I lost track of which were selected (which your yahoo mail then obscures) and click delete. I would like to be able to stop those graphics from obscuring the selection boxes for the entire email list not just the email I'm hovering over. Surely others…

  15. Inbox receive

    Hello Yahoo Support,

    I am having a delivery problem with my Yahoo Mail account ([your Yahoo address here]).

    Emails sent from my Outlook/Microsoft account ([your Outlook/Microsoft address here]) are not arriving in my Yahoo inbox — not in Spam, not in Trash, not anywhere.

    I have tested the following:

    The same email arrives successfully in my Gmail inbox.

    My service provider can also receive the email.

    There are no filters in my Yahoo Mail account that would block or redirect these emails.

    My Microsoft account is working fine and sending emails normally.

    This suggests that Yahoo’s servers may be blocking…

  16. Spam filters not working as expected

    I am not sure of the algorithm used for Spam filtering. I am sure that I dont have any filters enabled myself, but still few important mails unnecessarily get directed to spam folder and I am not sure how many as such I would have lost. The spam protection was really good few years before (before to 2021) and with latest upgrades of yahoo mail, I am seeing this issue.

  17. Please add color labels for categories of messages

    After all these years, I'm disappointed that Yahoo Mail still only offers the very limited visual cues of Starred and Unread as ways of making certain messages stand out in the Inbox or within Folders. It would be so helpful if we were able apply color labels to certain messages, such as to flag certain ones as urgent, backburner, work, private, etc. Ideally, we would be able to edit to define the category colors for our own needs. But even if we couldn't attach a name for each color, just being able to label certain messages blue, green, orange, etc.…

  18. whitelist blacklist

    you've screwed the pooch. You blacklisted my finance provider and there's no way to get it back. filters won't help, contacts won't help, you've screwed it up. I can't call and have you fix without calling and sending you money.
    SO, create a clean, clear pathway to whitelisting a contact.
