  3. ads making scrolling difficult

    I use Yahoo Mail on my Safari browser on a Mac laptop. In the past few months, my inbox has become difficult to scroll almost to the point of unusable. Every time I move the page (scroll), it seems like the ads are reloading and reorganizing my inbox. I cannot track the movement through the inbox when the list of emails is constantly moving up and down on the page. I don't mind the ads, however the refresh rate when scrolling seems unnecessarily fast. Thanks in advance for looking into this.

  5. Disappointed :(

    It is sooooo disappointing to see the paywall added to yahoo mail. Previously, I preferred my yahoo mail account to my gmail account, but the "upgrades" done trying to force me to pay for ymail+ or whatever it is called is too much. I'm so sorry that yahoo has decided to go down this path, and I am a disappointed longtime customer.

  6. Manage Subscriptions

    Could you ad a similar feature like gmail that will allow you to manage your subscriptions and delete them. I got so many emails that are subscription based....I would love to be able to "unsubscribed" and delete all messages at the same time.

  8. ads are so annoying in web version from anywhere the ads pops up and why u dont have an desktop version, which is easiler to use then web

    please add ads in a way thats less annoying, it pops up from anywhere and add a desktop version like some app which is easier to to use than going on web, i like to track my portfolio frequently but going to web sign in again n again its kinda long process and the ads coming from top, bottom it wasnt a good experience. so if u could make a significant changes it would be really great, rest its all up to you, and ignore my informal way.

  9. icon counter

    I have a plan that includes Ads. I don't mind them and ignore them since my personal plan is to definitely buy something - once every billion years.

    Here's my question: Does the main opening screen banner, that includes an "envelope" icon and counter, include in its count the ads? Because if it is just the mail, I cannot for the life of me figure out what they are counting. The counter may say 7 and I see one new received mail item. Perhaps it is because I have taken numerous high level math classes that I cannot understand this…

  13. Don't want to see certain ads

    I do not want to see certain ads that come across the top of my email, particularly the one from Hulu saying I can watch "Adult Animation." Could there be a way for me to click on something that says "I do not want to see this ad"?

  14. ads

    I changed all my ad settings to try and get rid of them. They interfere with my typing emails (stop putting the letters I had typed, so the ad could display). This happens many times per day. A business email should not be interfered by ads!!!
    Now after changing the settings I get Adult ads! Chat with me females in the ad!! What kind of business account would allow this! Please fix.

  17. ads that are between emails

    Why are there deceptive spam ads between my emails? I have one right now that is false and deceptive. The ad in question says: 'Drive Storage Your Cloud is Full Click here to upgrade' and it takes you to a site called rootkitrodeo.click. This is a complete false ad, my cloud storage is not with that business nor is it full. Why would yahoo offer spam ads like this??

  18. ads

    Stop flooding our inboxes with the same, low-quality advertisers, often many times a day. Do the advertisers really think if they hit me with the same message 4 times a day, that I'll buy something from them? Just the opposite for me.

  19. Inbox

    STOP categorizing your ads as unread email in my inbox. I'm already sick of seeing 1 unread email messages, only to find out it's stupid ads that I'll NEVER click on.

  20. Ask Before Showing External Images Not Working

    With New Yahoo Mail, it's stated when clicking an email that "external images are now more secure, and shown by default" with the ability to change that in settings. However, in settings, it's currently set to "Ask before showing external images". This isn't working as intended and should be remedied asap.
