X (@xunzic_beetle) reported@kmcnam1 That can't be true. They did used to ask you to upgrade to get more storage. Until the past coupl years, my problem with Yahoo mail was their awful spam detector that let spam and phishing emails get through.

UNLIMITED (@divinecontactm) reported@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.

Matt (@321Matt1) reported@yahoomail @YahooCare I have consistently had problems with receiving 2FA emails sent to my Yahoo Mail account. It’s happened repeatedly when sent from a variety of different companies. So I don’t think it’s all the other companies. I think the problem is on your end. Please fix this problem.

Making the effort (@NicklessPamela) reportedUpdate on the mail problems: yahoo sent a code to my hotmail. but they want to verify by sending a code to, yep, my yahoo mail! My email is vital, as I have to do all my shopping on line, premium charged helpline said they would send code to guess where😡
-
YAMAL’S UNCLE (@Rios_Ay1) reportedI don’t understand why Gmail keeps telling me to buy more storage or risk not receiving new emails. I’ve been using Yahoo Mail for over two decades and never had this kind of issue. Honestly, this is really frustrating.

Three Bs (@BuraBem) reported@CeliaWallet Please resolve the issue of login OTP not delivering to Yahoo mail. Those of us who registered using our yahoo email can't access our crypto and mined tokens again. @EmmanuelAfula
-
Wil Chung (@iamwil) reportedThe bigger issue, I think, is the durability of digital preservation. As indicated by the erasure of geocities, livejournal, usenet, yahoo mail, and other internet troves by the private company that was supposed to steward them, digital data is never really safe.

Offensive Lab (@OffensiveLab) reportedNew 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.

Audee (@GraphicIdentity) reportedWhat is the best browser to open the @yahoomail I use Chrome and the UX is terrible 🥲😥😭😭 @YahooCare I wish my blog editor staff doesn't use #yahoomail 🙄🫤
-
Jovan Grahovac 🇺🇸 🇷🇸 (@JovanGrahovac01) reportedDear @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 ;-)

Ray Ellis (@RunOnTheMind) reported@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.

Adedayo Oluyemisi Adesola (née Adejobi) (@ladydee2024) reportedMost people "fled" from using Yahoo mail once "Yahoo Yahoo" became the moniker for Nigerian internet fraudsters and scammers. Occurred to me recently that I never had a problem with Yahoo and will probably create a Yahoo account again too. Gmail is stressing me out as well, constantly asking me to buy more storage.

Ramenti Veritas (@RamentiVeritas) reported@yahoomail: Why do I delete emails, and then more emails magically appear that weren't there before? This has been a very annoying issue, and it risks overlooking important emails!
