  1. [R3] Yahoo Mail 3/5 · US Seeing Improvements: I can access files of sorted mail. I can check spam and delete box for errors. Can access All various inboxes through the app. Only sad part- When I send an email on my phone and I have everything organized in a very professional layout, when I hit ‘send’ the layout is completely altered; the font is all squished together. So, if you want to send a professional email, you ca
  2. [R4] Yahoo Mail 1/5 · US Spam email and sexual inappropriate content: I’ve tried every setting possible and hi my inbox is spammed all day long with filthy emails from I don’t know where. I’ve never visited a site like that and it’s really starting to piss me off. Doesn’t matter how many times I delete them or block them they just keep coming back.
  3. [R6] Yahoo Mail 3/5 · US Too Many Changes, Not for the Better: The search is terrible. It will pull up everything under the sun except for the name or email you searched for. Or only pull up an email from a year ago even though there are others. Also they took away the option to select and open all emails from one address. So many updates and it’s not better. I’ve had this same email for two decades. It would be nice if i
