  1. 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.

  4. Im SICK of blocking vulgar spam messages!

    If you block an address it should remain blocked - yet you allow the vulgarity to get thru! The fact that your not blocking them tells me - your allowing it!

    The best way to get rid of spam is to mark as spam, not delete or block! This helps with your spam filters and does exactly what blocking does, prevents that email from coming to your Inbox. So please keep marking as spam! It is free and part of regular Yahoo Mail. Thanks!

  5. Terrible service

    Receive an excessive amount of offensive pornograghic junk mail that are not filtered despite marking them as spam and block.

  6. NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR "PRIMARY" CLASSIFICATION

    LEAVE THE DEFAULT EMAIL STATUS AT "ALL", NOT "PRIMARY"... OR HAVE A WAY THAT WE CAN SET OUR OWN DEFAULT. SICK AND TIRED EVERY TIME I LOG IN OF SEEING THIS WORTHLESS "PRIMARY" FILTER ARBITRARILY WHITTLE MY VISIBLE EMAIL LIST DOWN TO HALF A DOZEN EMAILS WHEN I WANT TO SEE MY ENTIRE LIST. IT'S NOT EVEN CONSISTENT WHAT IT CALLS "PRIMARY" OR NOT!!!

  7. Get rid of Primary and let me decide what is important

    Please let my email open to "all" and not "primary". Let me decide what is important. At least give that as an option.

  8. Notify users of changes

    This morning I went to Primary inbox to find changes. Changes I was not aware that were going to happen. I personally do not like the changes to the Primary inbox. Not a good look. Hard to find what I was looking for. Other major email service companies such as Google gives you notifications of changes. That would be nice if Yahoo could do the same.

  9. Objectional emails

    Sir/Madam,
    The emails are coming recently to my email containing obscene nude photos. I am deleting them everyday. The senders are different. So, it is now difficult to use this official email in such condition.
    With regards,
    S Sarkar

    Please do not delete these types of emails. They will keep coming to your Inbox. Instead, please mark these emails as spam. This will help your spam filters and keeps them out of your Inbox. Thanks.

  11. PLEASE CHANGE MY YAHOO MAIL - TO MY PREVIOUS BASIC YAHOO MAIL OPTIONS AS ONE WEEK AGO.

    I WOULD LIKE TO SWITCH TO MY PREVIOUS BASIC YAHOO MAIL OPTIONS RATHER THEN THIS NEW YAHOO MAIL.

    PLEASE ADVISE AS THERE IS NO OPTION AVAILABLE IN ANY MENU IN NEW YAHOO MAIL.
    NEW YAHOO MAIL HAS DISTURBED ALL MY DIRECTORIES AND THE WAY I AM USED TO WORK.

    DESIGNERS MUST UNDERSTAND THEMSELVES , I FEEL THEY ARE JUST TRAINEES AND YAHOO MANAGEMENT SHALL LOOK INTO ALL ASPECTS BEFORE LAUNCHING NEW VERSIONS.

    PLEASE CHANGE MY YAHOO MAIL - TO MY PREVIOUS BASIC YAHOO MAIL OPTIONS AS ONE WEEK AGO.

  14. Add a refresh button on inbox page

    I would love to have a refresh button next to inbox on the left pane which will fetch the latest mail.

  17. You give too little storage space.

    You only give 15gb of storage for email now. You took away my unlimited storage. I have had this account since 2006. Twenty years! This is by far the scummiest thing I think any company anywhere has ever done. Your greed will destroy you. You are in a fast race to the bottom. Cutting back storage to 15gb is in effect forcing people to pay for storage. I will not be manipulated like that. You are by far the worst company in America.

    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.

  18. Keeping older emails in the inbox

    I don't have an idea, I have a complaint. I had years' worth of "read" emails that I had saved in my inbox & all of a sudden they were completely deleted & erased from my inbox. I don't know why that was done, but those were emails that were a) sentimental b/c the senders are deceased; b) very important for my financing and c) contained personal information that I needed for recent & future transactions. They are all gone & I can't find them in any of the other folders. Please leave the inboxes alone even if the emails…

  20. Block domain for an email directly from the email

    Would be nice to block a domain for a sender of unwanted emails directly when I am in the email just like I can block a particular sender. It would save a lot of steps related to having to open setting and then go the the security/privacy selection to accomplish this task. Would make the process more effective and easier.
