Yahoo Mail

The new Yahoo email is the most complicated program I have ever seen in my lifetime.
I am very well educated in computer science and have done this type of work for 25 plus years
But at no time have I ever seen anything as complicated as this email program. Everything I
"send" goes into a DRAFT folder and there is no way to know if it has actually been sent.
That is only 1 particular problem with this program.

Yahoo is locking me out of my own email address. I have the right password and access to my recovery email but the code is not showing up. I even called their "premium" support and they said there was nothing that they can do. Scam!

Browser beware.
For safety's sake I would leave no personal info on any emails. Delete, delete and delete often.

I am so sick of Yahoo's blackmail ransom asking me to pay for premium support rather than have a 1 hour delay. I am in the process of moving every linked service from yahoo as Yahoo is blocking all of those services that require the email 2FA which I can't reach unless I pay Yahoo for services to restore it. This is extortion, plain and simple. I cannot provide proof of purchase for this review because I am NOT paying Yahoo's ransom to make my account available.

Ok, so I haven't used this POS email in 2 years, for obvious reasons. I need a verification code in this email, and I don't have my old phone #. I call support and they can unlock my account, ONLY if I subscribe to their premium technical support?!?!?!?!?! You can't unlock my account unless I pay when I need ONE F****** email and I'm deleting the account? This company, software and platform is utter TRASH.

No wonder you're rated 96th on the email list, and probably much worse in customer service. F*** Yahoo!

I would have given four stars in Dec of 2023. However, political emails coming in from many places is spamming up my account. It needs to step up like Google mail to get rid of political spam that is coming from multiple places. Interestingly, it is spam that says horrible things about the current president when I am a dem, I just don't want it clogging up my inbox and it does not help to report it as spam or unsubscribe.

I feel sad because I see so many bad review rate to Yahoo Mail. I using Yahoo Mail about more than 10 years until now. Basically this mail provider never disappoint me. I feel safe with the mail protection. I satisfied with the email platform and structure. Sure Google mail is a strong competitor to him, but Yahoo Mail also not bad as the rating I feel.

Customer service sent me links and codes that wouldn't even work. I had all of my information but they wouldn't help me because their links wouldn't go thru and when asked to speak to a supervisor they wouldn't

So scandalous. Long story short, I have the password and cell phone for second authorization, I was waiting on the second authorization code to be sent to my phone but it never did. I called customer service they pretty much blackmail me by saying "yeah we can help you out right now and get you into your account but pay us first... sign up for premium service. I feel robbed and kicked while I was down. Everyone is broke, but Yahoo is thriving. I'm still locked out w dire emails to respond to

I have used Yahoo mail for many many years, this latest change (update) is stupid. After reading "unread" email I hit the back button like always and the email disappears, it's gone to points unknown. When the app opens it takes you to priority mail, Why? Stupid is stupid! Yahoo mail has become an inconvenient app to use for a basic function. Thinking about changing my primary email app, will most likely jump ship this week.

I have to reset my password virtually every time I log in. Yahoo/ATT has acknowledged this as a "known" problem, but that has been the case now for over a year! Incredibly poor service.

Too bad I can't give Yahoo a rating of zero stars.
I see a lot of Yahoo reviewers just like me, we've had Yahoo mail for over 20 years, since back when they were good. Now they are doing everything they can to make people with free email accounts either pay up or leave. That is why Yahoo email breaks in a different way every other week, it's just part of the plan. My account has become nearly useless in the last 6 months.

I have been using yahoo mail for some years now, I think it is very well put together. So I give it 4 Star Rating.

One day last week, I noticed I had only a few emails in my inbox. I checked and I had nothing before the new year. I filed a complaint through their system, in which I had to claim that I mistakenly deleted my emails. They restored all my emails back to 1998 BUT none from 2019. They claim they're not available. REALLY!

Called free help
Tried to charge me for service to recover password
Would not state cost upfront
Sharp practice!
Terrible support!

Yahoo Mail used to be great, but that is no longer the case, mostly because of all the horrible changes they made in recent years. I still like Yahoo Mail's format better than the rest, but they should have left things as they were a long time ago. Yahoo Mail makes improvements in the same manner that eBay makes improvements all the time. Their so called improvements often make things worse.

Yahoo's algorithm regularly sends conservative news sources to the spam folder even after repeatedly whitelisting the sender, adding to contact, marking as "not spam" etc etc.

As an unaffilliated voter I value news sources from all perspectives and if the US Postal Service isn't allowed to not deliver mail properly simply based on the senders political affiliation then email services like Yahoo shouldn't be allowed to do it either. Quite frankly, it's sad and pathetic that we have to tell people these things are wrong.

In the future I will only be using my 20 year old Yahoo mail account only for sites that I suspect will spam my inbox because that is all Yahoo has earned from me.

I get a bogus caption on my page stating no internet access, which is an obvious lie! If that were the case, I wouldn't be actively online. I couldn't send an important email. The chat popped up & I explained what happened, "sorry we won't be able to help you, you have to subscribe to our paid service." We are still in a Pandemic & companies are nickel & diming people for extra cash. Shame on them!

Deserves 0 stars yahoo a scamTerrible terrible service u have to pay to change your password ur number anything on account when Google is million times better and they do all services for free

I've been using Yahoo mail for free for years. Decades. But since the inception of Yahoo+, they have been pulling back features and pushing users to start paying for the extra benefits of the Plus service even though most of those features were previously in their free service. And just to make sure that you are suitably enticed...in one day my SPAM folder went from 10-15 emails a day to over 80-100. Something happened. I contacted Yahoo and they dismissed it as the nature of the beast. BUT, if I switched to Yahoo+... Yeah, you know how it went from there. So, no thanks Yahoo. And now I'm out to find a better solution.

Was booted offline and was not able to reset password without contacting customer support which is now a paid service. Had to spend an hour online with "Ed" who kept trying to sell me the upgraded version of Yahoo. I've had this account for over twenty years and never had an issue doing a password reset (that I didn't forget in the first place). Got a "deal" of $8.99 to buy their stupid subscription so I can get access and get everything transferred to another service. Ed gave me a "warning" when I called bull$#*! so I almost got sent to Yahoo jail, but also made sure to tell me to 'have a great day!" at the end of our conversation. So long Yahoo!

Suddenly I can't enter a new email address without allowing Yahoo to access my contacts. I literally now cannot send new emails! Time to delete this old account. Loathing you Yahoo...

The gimmick used by yahoo by locking accounts and making customers p[ay to reopened their account which operated in Countries outside us. They are paying them not even $12.9 per day but they want us to pay $12.99 to reopen a legitimate account. Yahoo why you are taking Jobs outside country and paying slavery wages to the poor people. The owners are True terrorist, Terrorizing us by taking jobs to other country and setting up such gimmick.
