  3. Excessive Advertising Is Hurting Email Usability

    Hello,

    I find the amount of advertising in Yahoo Mail extremely disruptive.

    Ads take up a large portion of the screen and make it difficult to view and read my emails properly. I do not understand why so much space is given to advertisements inside an email service, especially when the primary purpose is to read and manage messages.

    Other email providers, such as Google and several smaller email services, do not interfere with email visibility to this extent. This makes me question why I should continue using Yahoo Mail if the user experience is sacrificed for advertising.

    Please reconsider…

  4. block specific ad

    Provide a way to block specific ads or types of ads in yahoo mail. For example, I am routinely receiving ads from the same dating websites, or cancer treatments and this is not something I need or want to see in my inbox. Pls give yahoo mail users a way to opt out, if I they are not interested.

  5. Need to block scam advertisers from using your site.

    Need to block scam advertisers. Hilipert advertised a product (animals in acorns) and sent 2D cardboard **** instead. Now I can not get money back. Can you find CEO address, help stop their advertisements, and find ways to fine them?

    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.

    Get rid of using an ad blocker in the terms of service

  7. intrusive ads that do not offer a way to be deleted. There should be.

    What's with the ads that offer no way to delete them? Maybe I never noticed them before, but over the past week/ten days I've been barraged with them. I don't like it. If there isn't a way to correct this, there should be. If there is a way and I just don't know it, please direct me to it. I am looking around for an email service that doesn't allow ads to highjack it's customers (if one even exists). Thank you. Jim Phelan

  8. Ad Blocker Punishment? Really?

    You really think punishing me with a timed blockout of my inbox for using an ad blocker is going to encourage me to turn it off? With how many ads I got lambasted with before I installed it? Ads that flashed and destroyed the inbox and individual e-mail layouts? Absolutely not. You've just given me one more reason to ignore my inbox, lol.

  9. Stop promoting ads that are phishing attempts and other rip-offs

    You are presenting phishing attempts as legitimate ads in our Inbox. We do not have failed payments to McAffee. This is a complete rip-off, and you really should be ashamed that you are promoting it.

  14. very slow and the adds are to much

    yahoo mail is becoming almost unusable between the ads and how slow it is. nobody wants to pay for ad free when you can just use gmail or other products for free and have no ads enough already. and the slowness i feel like im using yahoo email back in the year 2000 and its not my internet speed i have over 1gb speed. when you click the check box it takes like 10 seconds it should be instant when trying to work with multiple emails its very frustrating how slow the product is and the ads all over the…

  15. I know why mail is running so slow...

    I can't be the only one who's tired of looking at this haughty rug-muncher with the awful outfit, designer frames and jumpsuit-matching headphones, ignoring the world around her every time I log on. You tried to cram so much "cool" into one picture, it's kind of disgusting. And WHY is she sitting against that horribly stained wall in her obviously brand-new outfit? Also, nice longboard... it looks like she's used it maybe TWICE.

    I've noticed some considerable lag in trying to log in the past few days, so I can assume you've already taken some hits for these poor choices.…

  20. Too Much Ads/Spam getting through on Yahoo Mail.

    Way too much ads or spam getting through on Yahoo Mail....this didn't use to be a problem until about the last year when Yahoo Mail is not automatically blocking all the spam getting through in Yahoo Mail. You are getting $5 a month from me to get this cleaned up and blocked and you are failing at this effort miserably.
