I receive time sensitive email several times a day at Yahoo Mail. Some of my time sensitive emails are either delivered hours late to my inbox, or are never delivered at all. Yes, I do check my SPAM box but those emails are not there. It has gotten so bad that I had to use another email provider to receive these emails. And YAHOO wants me to pay them for an ad-free subscription. FORGET IT! Get yourself another email provider. I would also give Yahoo Mail zero stars if that was possible.
WHY DO YOU NOT DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS INCESSENT SEXUAL SPAM? I AM UTTERLY SICK OF IT... YOU HAVE NO MEANS TO CONTACT YOU NOW TO GET THIS TRASH RESOLVED. I AM A 73 YEAR OLD WOMAN WHO IS UTTERLY SICK AND TIRED OF THE SEXUAL TRASH YOUR MAIL SERVICE CONDONES. I DO NOT NEED TO SEE IT, NOR DO I WANT TO. I AM NO LONGER EVEN TO BLOCK THESE SENDERS AS YOU HAVE APPARENTLY REMOVED THE OPTION WITHIN SPAM FOLDER. IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL TO SEND SUCH CONTENT VIA PUBLIC MAIL. IF I WANTED THE SEXUAL TRASH I WOULD VISIT PORNOGRPHIC SITES. NOT LOOK TO MY MAIL, WHICH I USE FOR COMMUNICATIONS WITH FAMILY AND BUSINESSES. PUT A STOP TO THIS OR I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING REPORTING THIS ISSUE TO THE FCC AND BBB. VERY ANGRY AND UTTERLY DISGUSTED. YAHOO USED TO BE A GOOD MAIL PROVIDER, BUT I CAN NO LONGER MAKE THIS CLAIM
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 used yahoo for both mail and calendar for years. Over the weekend i did as suggested and changed my password. Since then, my mail will open with the new password, but NOTHING opens my calendar! It has wasted literally hours of my time trying to access my calendar. Whatever you do, avoid yahoo like the plague!
G b s
*******@yahoo.com
Can't sign in on laptop, says incorrect password. Tried to change password on Android and it uses my mobile number. No option to change password. Deleted app 4 times then reinstalled it from Google play 4 times and it didn't load 4 times. If I could migrate my emails to Gmail I would and would never use it again. Like I said absolutely rubbish. Zero stars not one. Don't know who owns or runs it but they should get a horse and a cowboy outfit.
The spammers take over your email and even though there is a folder for it. Now you can only block 3 domains unless you pay them 5$ a month. Why am i going to pay you to do your job in the first place. And this is *******@att.net mail is at. They do not monitor spammers and scammers and phissing emails... so it just plain sucks. While i don't care for the layout of gmail---at least after you tell them 1x it's spam and scam you never see the bs'er email again. Unfortunately i couldn't give negative stars. If i could i would have. Yahoo and att worst email ever. I would delete the account but some people/companies just can't seem to send email to my new email and TWC blocks pics from most stores that you have an account with so you have to send all those emails to gmail too. Uuuugh!
Who the $#*! charges for a customer service call?! I can't access my account and I can't get in touch with ANYONE to figure this out. DON'T EVER use yahoo mail if you plan on actually accessing your account for free.
If you have an Upgrade VISA Card, suggest you cancel or give it up. I have been calling these people to get some HELP. They will let you wait endlessly. I get a feeling the number they have *******909 is unmanned and it's just there for compliance reasons. I will not even give these people a half star for services.
It costs to do anything on yahoo and that is WRONG. There are people from cambodia or asia or arabic countries that you cannot at all understand. It costs 1.00 a minute to call them. Also calling comcast or xfinity costs as well $1.30 a minute. We are disconnected as a society and all are robots staring 24 hours a day at a computer screen. Also tried to call capital one today and they wanted 1.00 a minute to talk to them. Since Covid this is a reality. How man of the thousands of companies out there will do this scam and fraud of the compujter. I am not a robot and am tired of being treated like one or a piece of garbage and crap. I plan to tell hundreds of my neighbors what the hell is going on. It happened when Japan bought out yahoo in 2015 and the other day AOL bought them out. All it does is make companies bigger and bigger and bigger. If covid existed they would not get away with this scam and sham. I hate you yahoo mail. I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you. I plan to tell the 2000 people in my apartment complex the scam and sham yahoo is pulling by putting people who do not speak any english at all on the line where no matter what you cannot understand them. What a scam to do to the elderly. I am 56 years old and considered elderly since I am 1000 percent disabled. This is the truth and want people to know that we are being made into robots and to stare at a compter and be a robot for the next 50 years. Yahoo mail sucks bad!
Yahoo sucks bad!. They charge you 1.00 a minute for email support. They charge you to get your email password. I have never in 50 years had to pay for customer service calls. Also comcast charges 1.00 a minute to get 1 customer service question answered. They are doing this since covid 19 started because there is no covid. I want you to know the foreigners at Yahoo that you cannot understand at all that speak arabic or cambodian that I hate your guts hate your guts hate your guts hate your guts a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot!
Constant problems with yahoo, don't have any of those problems with gmail. I can't run yahoo on both my mobile and desktop sites without random emails getting sent to people. I am going to have to stop using yahoo mail.
Our provider is Frontier, and while every other site we visit is fine the yahoo mail loads sloooooowly and sometimes not at all. Any other suggestions?
We paid for a year subscription for Yahoo Pro and still received ads. I've been on the phone and they are trying to tell me it was on the Yahoo Home Page, when I know for a fact it wasn't. I asked for a credit but will not get it. We will probably keep it for a another year but please watch it and report issues! Not happy!
IF THERE WAS A ZERO STAR, YAHOO MAIL WOULD GET IT.
YAHOO EMAIL USED TO BE A GREAT SERVICE. NOW, IT HAS TURNED INTO THE WORST GOD DAM EMAIL SERVICE IN THE WORLD. ALL THE HARASSING ROBOT AND CODE $#*! KEEPS OLD TIME USERS FROM SIGNING IN, ESPECIALLY IF WE CAN NOT AFFORD A PHONE. IT IS RACISM AT ITS PEAK. POOR PEOPLE CAN NOT AFFORD A CELL PHONE! THEY NO LONGER USE THE SECURITY QUESTION AND HARASS PEOPLE WITH NEVER ENDING CODE AND ROBOT $#*!. IT IS ABSOLUTELY INFURIATING THAT WE CAN NOT ACCESS OUR ACCOUNTS BECAUSE OF THIS KIND OF OUTRAGEOUS HORRIFIC HARASSMENT AND PREJUDICIAL HATE AGAINST POOR PEOPLE THAT BARELY HAVE INTERNET.
$#*! YAHOO AND ITS OWNERS ALL THE WAY BACK TO HELL!
My account was locked out and i i hadnt changed my number from my old one just yet. So when i tried to verify it. It had an email recovery that i had never seen before so i called up customer support and they were trying to verify what email i had sent last with exact subject line and email or the person... like what the $#*!? Who actually remembers that... lmfao. They are terrible with customer service and locked me out of my OWN account. Had all my information on it and now its lost forever... hope their happy because they can keep the $#*!ing account for all i care to be honest. Bunch of foreingers running customer support as well cant even understand what the hell they are saying
Yahoo needs to put the breaks on the propaganda machine. I've unsubscribed and blocked yodel but you still keep sending me those fake news articles that are a complete joke. I've had this email for over 20 years. We want email not your political opinions. Cease and desist.
I've used Yahoo Mail almost since inception and it's gotten so frustrating that it is worth the PITA TO REPLACE IT that paid version can't offer what the free one doesn't so I'm not going waste my time. The paid version could only enhance that lack of effort that's been applied to the product as a whole.
Good Bye YAHOO!
Trying to sign in into my email account on a Sunday and totally can not. WTF. I got things to do. I needed to sign in to do my work and I can't log in into my account and can't even call anybody because it says "server unavailable". Um ok than forget it, going somewhere else. Nobody uses yahoo anymore anyways I don't know why I stuck around this long. Thanks for helping me leave now.
I have had my yahoo account since 1999. The latest version of mail is just absolute garbage.
I have stopped using it for anything meaningful. Mainly keep it for the logons I have used it for through the years at other sites.
Every time I try to log into one of my yahoo email accounts I get error messages, must verify with a code sent to my phone and then change my password. Change my password each and every time to log in. I tried yahoo email help and in a chat was given a link to a specialist who wanted $150 to try to help. Can't even do a vacation message to writers to not use my yahoo mail but use my gmail. What a shame for the email that had the best UI that was very east to use.
Answer: You can get the old version back by clicking on the "SWITCH TO BASIC MAIL WITH FEWER FEATURES" below the YAHOO POP-UP AD BOX. UNFORTUNATELY THIS YAHOO AD BOX CONTINUES TO POP-UP whenever I TRY TO OPEN AN EMAIL. I can find no way to delete this MOST ANNOYING YAHOO AD BOX. YAHOO HELP IS NO HELP as they IGNORE my requests.
