    @TextNowHelp I do not receive the verification code to login on yahoo mail(not in spam/blacklisted). Works fine on my gmail back up.

    This is crazy, and it just stopped being an issue about 2 minutes ago. Idk what was going on. Maybe I was being routed through a bad sector, and the node was refusing me entry. @yahoo @yahoomail. I am not tech illiterate, I just don't care for it.

    I've used @yahoomail for decades, but it's recent changes have made it unusable for me. It's slow, stupid, and ugly. What email provider should I move to, for security and ease of use? I suppose I could go back to my old comcast mail... it's not as bad as @yahoomail is now, although it used to be much worse.

    Ian Snow, ****'s Dickens of **** (@IanSnowWriter) reported

    Here's an example of bad overengineering. The @Yahoo Mail app has started sorting emails you frequently delete into bundles so you can delete them faster - which are all hidden under a drop-down from the rest of your emails, adding an extra step to go through to delete emails one by one. It doesn't matter if you regularly read these emails, they're all lumped together anyways. Now here are the really annoying parts about that - one, there's no opt-out for the bundling, meaning you're stuck with that ****** sorting feature. Two, when you delete emails manually, on occasion, emails in this group will completely disappear. So far, they've come back later, but this is an enormous pain in the *** that no one asked for and can't opt out of. So why? What's the point of this? Why does Yahoo mail insist on these autosorting features like this that constantly hide away emails, the entire reason you'd use the service?

    @MrNJ39 @yahoomail Agreed. This version is rubbish. The font is dreadful and is counter intuitive. The previous version was fine. Nothing wrong with it. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. It wasn’t. Please give us the old, good version back.

    @yahoomail the Android Yahoo mail app update ruined the search function. I can no longer edit my search terms and have to start over every time. Please fix this!" I search my email using search strings to find specific things, people, and correspondence. I was able to modify my search strings and quickly try the search again. Can no longer do that. Now have to type out a whole new search string every time I need to modify it....terrible. Productivity Killer. #EmailSearch #YahooMail

    @Pokemallu @pokemondealsuk I’m the same as you, actively use Yahoo mail and signed up multiple times and followed the advice re not receiving them. Maybe a Yahoo issue. FYI if you go to your contacts on either the app or webpage you can just add the email address.

    @Masterji_UPWale Most people "fled" from using Yahoo mail once "Yahoo Yahoo" became the moniker for Nigerian internet fraudsters and scammers. I never had a problem with Yahoo and will probably create a Yahoo account again too. Gmail is stressing me out too, constantly asking me to buy more storage.

    @yahoomail Really unhappy with the latest update to the Yahoo Mail app! I paid for the app because I liked the layout and ease. New layout is not user friendly and too much like AOL mail. Please stop changing things that aren't broken! 😡😡😡

    @_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.

    @craigy1977 @LeilaniDowding If you have the yahoo mail iPhone app on your phone then go on to it and then click top left on your email address or initials then the menu will appear and it shows you half way down under storage.

    @YahooCare Hello, Im having trouble logging into my yahoo mail. I have forgotten my password and haven’t got the phone numbers linked to the yahoo account. I tried recovering the number but Vodafone said the number isn’t available. I would like to find a way around this please.

    @Yahoo what is going on with your mail?! I have not been able to send or receive emails in over 5 hours. This morning it said “error” with no additional information, and now it just says it’s fully up to date when it’s not. I have tried from both an iPhone & laptop. #yahoomail
