    @yahoomail @Yahoo 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.

    @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.

    @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

    @yahoomail you guys need to get your head out your *** and fix this email issue when you try to create a new account and you click on get code by text it says you will get a code on what's app I didn't click that option I clicked on get a text. Wake the hell up and fix the issue

    Here's an example of bad overengineering. The @Yahoo Mail app has started sorting emails you frequently delete into bundles so you can delete them faster - which are all hidden under a drop-down from the rest of your emails, adding an extra step to go through to delete emails one by one. It doesn't matter if you regularly read these emails, they're all lumped together anyways. Now here are the really annoying parts about that - one, it's an automatic setting, withno opt-out feature, meaning you're stuck with that ****** sorting feature. Two, when you delete emails manually, on occasion, emails in this group will completely disappear. So far, they've come back later, but this is an enormous pain in the *** that no one asked for and can't opt out of. So why? What's the point of this? Why does Yahoo mail insist on these autosorting features like this that constantly hide away emails, the entire reason you'd use the service?

    @yahoomail @Yahoo I am writing to request urgent assistance regarding a login issue that has locked me out of my accounts. I know my passwords for both of my Yahoo accounts, but the system insists on a secondary verification step by sending a code to the recovery email address.

    I haven’t received any email in my @Yahoo mail account since 3/26/26! Anyone else??? Any fix ideas???

    @_renatov @thesamparr Yahoo runs a huge digital media and advertising business. Core products: Yahoo Mail (still one of the biggest email services), Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Sports/Fantasy, News, and Search. They make most of their billions from targeted online ads. In 2026 they're doubling down on AI with "Yahoo Scout" to turn user data from mail/search/content into smarter ad targeting and answers. Still very much alive and profitable.

    @YahooCare Hi @YahooCare, on iPhone using Yahoo Mail v26.13.0: folders (Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Spam, Trash, Archive) are inaccessible, and the new folder switcher (Inbox icon with ↑↓ bottom-left) is unresponsive. Please fix or add a classic folder view. Cheers 🙏🇦🇺

    @sidrachain Weldon for the great work you are doing. Those of us who registered with Yahoo mail are still finding it difficult to login to our kyc port. Please I suggest you re-introduce the login with password+google authentication for us, so we too can be part of the new system upgrade.

    @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

    This is crazy, and it just stopped being an issue about 2 minutes ago. Idk what was going on. Maybe I was being routed through a bad sector, and the node was refusing me entry. @yahoo @yahoomail. I am not tech illiterate, I just don't care for it.

    @YahooCare @yahoomail I have been having issue (since 24th March) with newly created emails. I sent you a DM and was assured someone will get in touch. This was on 8th April. Nobody contacted me. I sent you yet another reminder DM on 13th April, but no reply received whatsoever.
