1. [R18] Yahoo Mail 3/5 · US hsrowsey: Spam Emails. We get hundreds of spam/ unwanted emails. There’s no way to block/stop the vast majority of them without paying $4.99 per month. That’s BS.
2. [R40] Yahoo Mail 1/5 · US Keep it coming.: I don’t think that another email app exists that has no control over their spam emails like this one!! I go in and clear them out and I can come back a couple of hours later and there will be 50,60,even 70 more spam emails. I know your freaking speech about “keep marking them as spam” you’ve been saying it for years. BUT NOTHING GETS DONE!!! Absolutely ridiculous!!
3. [R72] Microsoft Outlook 3/5 · US Good email bad search: Outlook search is miserable. Calendar, mail sorting and options otherwise are fantastic.
4. [R104] Microsoft Outlook 4/5 · US Search feature: The search feature still needs some work because I can find an email in a specific folder but not always in the “search all folders”
5. [R3] Yahoo Mail 3/5 · US Stalls: When I tap each email singly, the app will suddenly stall and not allow you to delete nor make any changes. So I have to close the app and begin again.
6. [R4] Yahoo Mail 2/5 · US It’s gone downhill: Yahoo Mail was working well but recently I’ve been having issue with it. Sometimes when I’m trying to reach my messages, selecting the message doesn’t open the message but pulls up the menu to move, delete, etc. I would have to close the application and come back in again to read that email. Very annoying.
7. [R69] Microsoft Outlook 3/5 · US Review: I find the calendar a bit cumbersome and confusing when i am in a rush and the way emails are grouped makes it unclear what is most recent, and causes confusion looking for an email (latest) at times - On apple ipad
8. [R80] Microsoft Outlook 5/5 · US My Outlook App: Every moment is a brilliant one when using outlook! Everything at your finger tips at a moments notice. Definitely a great download for whatever you are doing!
9. [R1] Yahoo Mail 1/5 · US Sucks: I have multiple different emails accounts in my yahoo account. The mobile app signs me out of my email accounts and makes me log back into the email accounts over and over again. Yahoo tech support is of no help what so ever.
10. [R19] Yahoo Mail 1/5 · US New update- renders useless: Since the update yesterday I can open 5 emails. After that I just have a blank white screen on every page including spam, trash, inbox, etc. please FIX. THANKS!
11. [R62] Microsoft Outlook 5/5 · US Great responsive email app: The app happens to operate fluidly and no crashes.
12. [R85] Microsoft Outlook 1/5 · US Inbox: Haven’t been able to receive emails for three months now and have done everything I was told to try and fix it.
13. [R10] Yahoo Mail 1/5 · US Charging a fee to remove advertisements!: Hate the ads. Now to remove, yahoo.com is charging a fee. This is not fair and I strenuously object!
14. [R21] Yahoo Mail 3/5 · US Yahoo email: Of course I like getting my emails but what I don’t like is all the advertisements that come and not to have them you want us to sign up for a fee.
15. [R70] Microsoft Outlook 1/5 · US Buggy, drains the battery: The app keeps on asking for my email account password at random times and it drains the battery fast. The phone is always warm. I have to delete it. Those needless weekly updates do more damage than good.
16. [R43] Yahoo Mail 1/5 · US Worst Tech Support in the Business: Run, don’t walk, away from Yahoo email. I’ve been locked out of my use of their email repeatedly over the past week. The final straw was when they prohibited my account from any sending of emails. After an hour on the phone with tech support, I was told the issue would be escalated and someone would call me back “within 7 to 10 business days.” Got a call fro
17. [R67] Microsoft Outlook 1/5 · US Bad: stupid idiots can't recover my stolen account
18. [R88] Microsoft Outlook 1/5 · US Authentication is atrocious: If you use this on mobile they make it impossible to authenticate on a single device, the app tries to authenticate on the authentication app via the authentication app. If you have a meeting to get to on mobile and you get signed out good luck. Also the outlook sign in solution also failed. This process all around is a failure.
