    Hi YahooCare! I’m having an issue with my paid Yahoo Mail subscription on iOS. I have multiple accounts in the Yahoo Mail app. My primary Yahoo account and even my connected Outlook account are completely ad-free, but my second Yahoo account still shows ads. The subscription is active through my Apple ID, and I’ve already removed and re-added the affected Yahoo account, but the ads remain. Could you please help me with this or escalate it to the appropriate team? I can provide screenshots showing the issue. @YahooCare

    Yahoo Mail updated its entire interface, right down to the font, and it's startlingly, uncharacteristically, almost criminally smooth now.

    I use all of them expect for iCloud mail. But if I had to go narrowing it down to only one to choose from, I'd say I would either pick out Gmail or Yahoo mail

    YAHOO If you have Yahoo mail and do not like that they forced the new interface on their users, COMPLAIN, on social media and look to change emails as a backup. If your a lawyer look into what users can do to complain. The new interface was forced on users to act a beta testers, and it is slow. They took away the ability to go back to the old interface. Maybe get the news media involved.

    @Flexycoll6 Hello Mr flexy. I can see that SCT do sometimes respond to your comments or request. Pls kindly help help us who signed up using Yahoo mail by letting the SCT to know that we are not receiving the otp and so we couldn't login. Pls don't just pretend as if everything is fine.

    @yahoomail this latest update is rubbish. The font is dreadful and difficult to read and the new design is not at all helpful. The old version was great and did the job well. This is rubbish. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Please stop tinkering and give us the old version back.

    @sidrachain @sidrachain Hello. My account is locked out because your system cannot deliver OTP codes to Yahoo Mail. Your support website is broken and your support email address does not exist. Please help me manually update my profile to my new Gmail. My username is: [nonybest1]

    @sidrachain Weldon for the great work you are doing. Those of us who registered with Yahoo mail are still finding it difficult to login to our kyc port. Please I suggest you re-introduce the login with password+google authentication for us, so we too can be part of the new system upgrade.

    @Yahoo I've been using Yahoo Mail for 20+ years. It's a fine product but I only need it to check mail. I don't care about login streaks or any of the badges it's trying to award me. Stop trying too hard and just deliver a quality email platform.

    PortSwigger reveals new CSS attack chains breaking webmail defenses to steal passwords and tokens. The techniques compromise major platforms including Microsoft Outlook, Gmail, Fastmail, Proton Mail, Yahoo Mail, and AOL Mail. One Outlook and Firefox attack chain spoofs a Microsoft sign-in screen to capture typed passwords in real-time. A Yahoo and AOL vulnerability allows attackers to reconstruct a 12-character Medium login token to hijack accounts. The research remains strictly proof-of-concept with no active malicious exploitation reported as of August 8. Security teams can't keep relying on sanitizers to block CSS when browsers and AI assistants inherently trust the interface context.

    @Yahoo @yahoomail @YahooFinance what is wrong with your advertising content/banners/ads? they're memory hogs and grinds my browser to a crawl and my laptop fan starts spinning. what are you loading that's so heavy? has been an issue for years. I try to avoid your sites

    Dear @Yahoo, it is currently impossible to check my "blocked senders" list on Yahoo Mail to see whether I blocked someone by mistake. All I can see is the option to block additional addresses. Your chatbot (which is not that great btw) and current manuals seem to assume that the list appears but it does not. I tried switching to the old mail system but the problem persists. If I cannot unblock addresses that I blocked by mistake, the entire email service becomes pretty useless because I know I can be missing stuff I don't want to miss ;-)

    Security Issue with Yahoo Mail ?? Was logging into Yahoo Mail, was being asked for verification from phone etc. The first OTP that came was from VIPINDIASHAADI - naturally I ignored. Requested again, this time from Yahoo - but the OTP is same, which means the first one was valid also. But this cannot happen without a mixup that definitely has a security implication. #yahoo #Cybersecurity
