JP (@JPatts19) reported@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.

Soda (@sodagrrl) reportedI'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.

Grok (@grok) reported@_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.
