  1. don't post scam ads

    Vet the companies you present ads for in your email client. I keep seeing one for https://www.williamleigh.com, which is clearly a scam- look into it- they are falsely presenting themselves as an established high end clothier going out of business after 55 years, yet there is no record of such. My trust in Yahoo goes way down when I see you present this kind of trap.

  3. browser stalls when loading

    It looks like whatever you're loading in the background when opening Mail, probably ads, brings my browser to its knees. Stop loading so much junk.

  4. Change the design

    I don't know where to say this: I have had Yahoo mail for decades. I am considering closing my account because of how difficult it now is to avoid clicking on ads. My user experience has been damaged significantly over the last few weeks. I will not pay or upgrade if that is what you are trying to get me to do. I am a former product manager. I understand the need to make money. But you are designing yourself out of this loyal customer.

  5. All the ability to report inappropriate ads

    The Ad "SecretMeet" is completely inappropriate. Please do not let these types of domains advertise on your site and I do not want them appearing at the top of the inbox. Allow me to report them as inappropriate instead of asking me to sign up and pay for additional services. I don't mind seeing ads especially since the service I have is free, but I can't get these inappropriate ones removed from my inbox for some reason.

  6. IF ADS ARE MUTED, THEY SHOULD NOT PLAY SOUND

    How about when the ads are supposed to ALWAYS be muted, they DON'T START PLAYING SOUND??? The stupid Mega Millions ad is muted, and yet the sound plays EVERY TIME it comes up. Also how about making your "contact us" page under mail help actually functional? It won't let you enter anything and then it won't let you close it. Ridiculous.

  8. Malicious Ads

    You need to give the Trashcan icon on ads listed among our emails in the email list, the same way there is a Trashcan icon in the upper right of each email. I inadvertently clicked on an ad and it went to a VERY malicious website. I was forced to hard boot my laptop as it was taking over. Not allowing us to delete these ads is irresponsible.

  10. make it possible to deselect bulk folder

    It should be possible for a user to deselect usage of the Bulk mail folder. I don't want the server to decide which messages I should receive. I am currently having a problem where a friend's messages go to Bulk. And a lot of what's in there, I want to see. Please make this possible.

  12. inappropriate adds

    How can we remove dating ads from our yahoo email? It is very inappropriate to have these ads in the email that my spouse and I share. Those ads are extremely offensive.

  13. fraudulent ads

    you are displaying an ad for McAfee security along with the logo for McAfee which is prominently displayed in my inbox along with normal email that is fraudulent spam. It claims that my McAfee software license has expired.When you click on it it switches the url to a taboola ad and my existing McAfee security software blocks it as spam. You should prohibit vendors from spoofing legitimate businesses.

    I am getting served ads for joining ICE. Get these violent political extremists off of my page or I will find a way to get around your anti adblock, or else cease using yahoo mail entirely.

  16. I am receiving false ad's.

    I am writing to lodge a formal complaint regarding deceptive advertisements currently being displayed within my Yahoo email account. These advertisements are attempting to coerce me into renewing my antivirus subscription by falsely suggesting that my protection has expired. Several ads go so far as to imply that my system is infected, creating unnecessary alarm.

    I have confirmed directly with my antivirus provider that my subscription remains valid for more than 200 days. Additionally, my application is fully updated and functioning properly. These ads are therefore demonstrably false and misleading.

    Allowing such advertisements to be displayed on Yahoo’s platform undermines…

  17. Spam

    Since switching to the new Yahoo! email, both of my priority mailboxes have been receiving spam. It used to get filtered out to the spam folder. There were very few spam emails getting through before. I don't necessarily want to switch back to old Yahoo! mail and I don't want to upgrade to ad free. But I'd like to just have the same privacy and security that I had before. I've had these two email accounts for a very long time. I think both go back 25 years! Thanks, Janene

  18. Remove scam email from our emails

    You continue to insert a paid for ad for a well know scam into our emails. "Wendy Clarke Jewellery " is a scam advert. It is flagged up on Trust pilot and Scam Advisor and the real Wendy Clark Jewellery ( without an e) is warning people on her company Facebook site not to order from the fake site.
    Why are you accepting revenue for scam emails Yahoo? And how can I stop this particular one coming up in my email ?

  19. Type of Ads in my email

    Please stop putting these dating sites within my email. They show up several times while reading my email and there is no place for me to unsubscribe or block them out. Stop forcing these sites on me. They are disgusting and I did not sign up for this. I do understand I will get ads. However, your ads are out of control when you keep posting them inside my emails.
