  • DoloresOfCourse Dolores, Of Course (@DoloresOfCourse) reported

    @kcunha11 @yahoomail I came here to see if anyone else has the same problem. I'm also receiving obviously spam messages in my Inbox. This has been going on for a couple of weeks. My theory is they are letting these through as a selling ploy for their Yahoo Mail Plus.

  • Coachpeanut_ Coachpeanut (@Coachpeanut_) reported

    Anyone having issues with @yahoomail ?

  • DictationOne DictationOne (@DictationOne) reported

    Updated description for Gmail & Yahoo mail settings. Two-step verification is now required for both Gmail & Yahoo mail, and it is necessary to issue an application password from the mail account in order to activate the account in ODMS. Therefore, the explanation has been updated

  • DennisCMcMahon Dennis McMahon (@DennisCMcMahon) reported

    Is it me...or is YAHOO MAIL messed up? The problem is DELETING mail and that either does not work or requires exit. Happens on ALL computers I own and in other locations, and on all services. What gives? I hate to share boring tech stuff but had a minute. Pass it on.

  • ScottTheWriter1 Scott The Writer (@ScottTheWriter1) reported

    @YahooCare Hi Customer Care, There is an ongoing problem with YAHOO MAIL that I think you need to know about. Important emails are going to the spam folder even though they are not spam. This happens often and I know it is also happening to friends of mine. Please fix.

  • sundayenobong2 sunday enobong (@sundayenobong2) reported

    I will appreciate if this problem is quickly resolved and my fund returned to my account as this is causing me a lot of inconveniences. Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

  • eirelyn Stacy Nobriga (@eirelyn) reported

    Once again I received this message after logging in ONCE. Can you please advise what I can do about this? "Looks like you’ve tried to sign in unsuccessfully too many times. Recover your ID or reset your password to continue." CARE CODE: 205.2 [LU003] @yahoomail

  • 96MadeMe Marcus Hill Jr. 🦉 (@96MadeMe) reported

    YahooMail has so many security problems. My transition to Google Mail should’ve started in high school.

  • Clevelander85 Loki's Black Suit (@Clevelander85) reported

    Hey @yahoomail, Why do I get a message that states I've tried to login too many times, every time I attempt to login using the web page, forcing me to change my password...every time?

  • ViviMegapixel 🏳️‍⚧️ big hat vivi (@ViviMegapixel) reported

    so mom just called me down because she couldn't open my friend's wedding registry (because she put it in the yahoo mail search bar). When I told her to put the link in the address bar she said she'd never done it before.

    @NERCNG Email not coming, I guess the issue is with yahoo mail

  • stevensongs G (@stevensongs) reported

    That's a nice inbox you got there. Would be a shame if it kept filling up with obvious spam emails all the time. You know, we could take care of this little problem of yours today, but it's gonna cost you money. Like I said, it would be a shame if you got even more. @yahoomail

  • FeralJacobs gerri jacobs 🐿 🌿 🦌 live like the world is dying (@FeralJacobs) reported

    @PPUtoday I never cease to be amazed at how the priorities of “western consumer civilisation” (or, maybe, just Yahoo Mail?) really stink (unless it’s a just glitch?), but I keep finding emails from Peace Pledge Union in the SPAM!!!! While all the advertising dross reaches the inbox. 😫

  • DangerGirl6 DangerGirl (@DangerGirl6) reported

  • MichaelHuziak Michael Huziak (@MichaelHuziak) reported

    @yahoomail I know the user and pass to my account but can't login because I haven't used the account since 2014 and have not updated the phone number. The help center doesn't help with this, I'm too broke too afford the paid support plus help

  • VingAints Ving Aints 🇺🇸/🇨🇦 (@VingAints) reported

    Yahoo mail spam filtering is terrible. Yesterday THREE important time-sensitive emails from a client looking to book me last-minute slipped past me because they got filtered into the spam folder. As a result I lost a VERY sizable $$ contract. @yahoomail @YahooCare
