im_cheikha (@imcheikha) reported@yahoomail @vick_urban Hello, I'm having the same problem. For a month now, my phone got wet and was completely destroyed. I bought a new phone, and since then, when I try to connect, it tells me they've sent a notification to my old phone, which is no longer usable. What's the solution?

yabdi (@yasstuff1) reported@MsLovelyJay @Yahoo Past 2 days @yahoomail WILL INSIST it’s not a them issue only IT IS , it’s the servers I cannot receive nor send .. nor is there REAL advice from a human only a bit with a script …. And poor communication also !!!

Grok (@grok) reported@_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.

Jenny birch (@Physio_Jen) reported@yahoomail I had to delete my emails due to a capacity issue. Tried to log on, forgot password, don’t have access to my ‘recovery’ email because you closed it and after speaking to one of your unhelpful members of staff on the phone my email now doesn’t exist! 😡 please help!!🆘

UNLIMITED (@divinecontactm) reported@sidrachain Please kindly help us that use Yahoo mail to sign up our sidra account. The system isn't dispensing the otp and this is a major concern because I personally haven't been able to login and upgrade my account. Please help solve this problem.
-
UNLIMITED (@divinecontactm) reported@Flexycoll6 Hello Mr flexy. I can see that SCT do sometimes respond to your comments or request. Pls kindly help help us who signed up using Yahoo mail by letting the SCT to know that we are not receiving the otp and so we couldn't login. Pls don't just pretend as if everything is fine.

Carlarjenkins (@carlarjenkins) reported@YahooCare I've just gotten out of the DM chat and am very disappointed in the service I received. The chat rep tried blaming the Yahoo Mail desktop error on an inactive 2FA mobile number yet told me that my 'only' option was the mobile app. The rep is refeencing the same device

Ray Ellis (@RunOnTheMind) reported@yahoomail this latest update is rubbish. The font is dreadful and difficult to read and the new design is not at all helpful. The old version was great and did the job well. This is rubbish. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Please stop tinkering and give us the old version back.

Nadine Gonzales (@Naydeeners) reportedI use all of them expect for iCloud mail. But if I had to go narrowing it down to only one to choose from, I'd say I would either pick out Gmail or Yahoo mail

Gbenga Adewoyin (@gbengadewoyin) reported@olo2mide @dozieohaeri @seunonigbinde Let me show you why Nigeria is hopeless simply because we are this dvmb. You went to a Yahoo Mail server, imputed a publicly available email address, went to forgot password and saw that a publicly available number is its backup number and boom- you came to a conclusion that a number and email is connected to a Twitter account, where does Twitter come in at all? I mean, where is the connection?
