    @SidraStartups 1) I had created a SidraChain account using yahoo mail. Now, everyone with Gmail login can get easy access to login again. But, the scenario with another email address is totally different.

    New research shows content inside an email can escape its message boundary and interfere with the webmail interface. Across attack chains spanning Outlook, Gmail, Fastmail, Proton Mail, Yahoo Mail, and AOL Mail, the techniques can capture passwords, take over third-party accounts, leak tokens, hijack trusted UI actions, and manipulate AI tools that read email. PortSwigger researcher Gareth Heyes presented the work at Black Hat USA 2026. One Outlook/Firefox chain spoofs a Microsoft sign-in screen and captures the password a recipient types. A Yahoo/AOL paste race can expose a Medium email-login token and let an attacker sign in as the victim. A Gmail/Cowork chain can exfiltrate a Slack token after prompt injection and user interaction. The paper presents proof-of-concept research and does not report malicious exploitation. Public PoCs remain available as of August 8. The researcher said Fastmail fixed two CSS mutation bugs and a Proton Mail proxy bypass stopped working when he retested it, while Outlook label-jacking and Gmail's image-set() bypass still worked when the research was published on August 6. The paper does not state whether the full Outlook password-capture chain was fixed. For webmail providers, the paper recommends isolating HTML email in sandboxed iframes and tightly restricting CSS, custom attributes, select menus, and image requests.

    Hey @yahoomail, you won't let me swipe away an ad, but instead every time you want me to sign up (pay) for your mail plus. Well it's your server, so screw you, it can sit there forever as far as I'm concerned. I was just trying to save you the space. All the best...

    @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.

    @espnhomer Go to Settings (gear icon) > More Settings, or just look at the bottom left of your Yahoo Mail inbox for a storage bar. If you're at or near 100%, this is almost certainly your problem.

    I'm trying to add storage to my Yahoo mail account, but when I pretty the button, it says "This Option is not available in your area." I can't add storage and they'll shut me down tomorrow. WHAT CAN I DO.

    @sidrachain I can't login with my registered yahoo email, if I use Gmail instead, it directs me to start verification again on a new account, my account has been verified fully, why can't I gain access back into my already existing account? Codes are not been sent to my registered yahoo mail

    @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

    @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 @yahoomail New Busi Mail web interface has two problems (1) Printing emails cuts off the right edges/full message doesn't print (2) The Inbox defaults to "Primary." I'd like it to default to "All" so I don't miss messages. + your "contact us" button don't send.
