    Most people "fled" from using Yahoo mail once "Yahoo Yahoo" became the moniker for Nigerian internet fraudsters and scammers. Occurred to me recently that I never had a problem with Yahoo and will probably create a Yahoo account again too. Gmail is stressing me out as well, constantly asking me to buy more storage.

    @OldInternetFeel I still use Yahoo Mail, and it's become a slow, browser crashing slog to deal with. It's sluggish on my phone and even worse on the desktop. Problem is that I use my yahoo email for so many different things that it would be very difficult to switch all my email over.

    What is the best browser to open the @yahoomail I use Chrome and the UX is terrible 🥲😥😭😭 @YahooCare I wish my blog editor staff doesn't use #yahoomail 🙄🫤

    A reminder to my friends at @yahoomail - I am still very angry you took away Classic Mail. This new Yahoo Mail on the browser is GARBAGE. Glitchy, slow, just doesn't work as well as the old. Wish someone at @yahoo would listen to your long-time users.

    Just noticed that when I try to sign in to my Yahoo Mail account, there's an option to use my GMail account to do so. What ********? If I wanted my various email addresses linked I would just merge the accounts. Especially across providers. When did this start being a thing?

  • RunOnTheMind
    Ray Ellis (@RunOnTheMind) reported

    @yahoomail @MrNJ39 Agreed. This version is rubbish. The font is dreadful and is counter intuitive. The previous version was fine. Nothing wrong with it. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. It wasn’t. Please give us the old, good version back.

    @hrm_xklusiv24 @sidrachain Same thing happen with me and i also register using yahoo mail. Why cant they just let us login using our password or authenticator app like before 😓

    Dear @Yahoo, it is currently impossible to check my "blocked senders" list on Yahoo Mail to see whether I blocked someone by mistake. All I can see is the option to block additional addresses. Your chatbot (which is not that great btw) and current manuals seem to assume that the list appears but it does not. I tried switching to the old mail system but the problem persists. If I cannot unblock addresses that I blocked by mistake, the entire email service becomes pretty useless because I know I can be missing stuff I don't want to miss ;-)

    @YahooCare I need urgent help with a compromised Yahoo Mail account. The attacker removed my recovery phone/email, so SignIn Helper is blocked. This is affecting recovery of other accounts too. Can you please advise on a safe escalation path? I won’t post private details publicly

    YAHOO If you have Yahoo mail and do not like that they forced the new interface on their users, COMPLAIN, on social media and look to change emails as a backup. If your a lawyer look into what users can do to complain. The new interface was forced on users to act a beta testers, and it is slow. They took away the ability to go back to the old interface. Maybe get the news media involved.

    @sidrachain I can't login with my registered yahoo email, if I use Gmail instead, it directs me to start verification again on a new account, my account has been verified fully, why can't I gain access back into my already existing account? Codes are not been sent to my registered yahoo mail

    @yahoomail if there’s a problem with generating codes for email recovery you should at least tell your users so that we can switch on to another serious mail service…what’s this madness all about in sending out codes for text messages

    @YahooCare @yahoomail New Busi Mail web interface has two problems (1) Printing emails cuts off the right edges/full message doesn't print (2) The Inbox defaults to "Primary." I'd like it to default to "All" so I don't miss messages. + your "contact us" button don't send.

    @sidrachain @sidrachain Hello. My account is locked out because your system cannot deliver OTP codes to Yahoo Mail. Your support website is broken and your support email address does not exist. Please help me manually update my profile to my new Gmail. My username is: [nonybest1]

    Security Issue with Yahoo Mail ?? Was logging into Yahoo Mail, was being asked for verification from phone etc. The first OTP that came was from VIPINDIASHAADI - naturally I ignored. Requested again, this time from Yahoo - but the OTP is same, which means the first one was valid also. But this cannot happen without a mixup that definitely has a security implication. #yahoo #Cybersecurity

    Someone will use Yahoo Mail almost all his life and never receive a complaint of storage getting full. You will just open Gmail like this and start receive storage threats up and down. #AlrightEigbe
