Yahoo Reviews

So scandalous. Long story short, I have the password and cell phone for second authorization, I was waiting on the second authorization code to be sent to my phone but it never did. I called customer service they pretty much blackmail me by saying "yeah we can help you out right now and get you into your account but pay us first ... sign up for premium service. I feel robbed and kicked while I was down. Everyone is broke, but Yahoo is thriving. I'm still locked out w dire emails to respond to

Yahoo Mail used to be great, but that is no longer the case, mostly because of all the horrible changes they made in recent years. I still like Yahoo Mail's format better than the rest, but they should have left things as they were a long time ago. Yahoo Mail makes improvements in the same manner that eBay makes improvements all the time. Their so called improvements often make things worse.

trying to empty my inbox has taken me days not because of the amount of email but because of yahoo system getting in the way. I try to filter all messages by sender, when you select all it only selects all thats on that page not all of them...why your the only platform that does this. I try and clock on the icon for sender it will direct me to their site nooo I want to see all email by this sender. if you try and search for an email by sender info it will google search kind of deal all letter you entered in and show you results that are not from this sender. their platfrom has add built in that get in your way and require you to pay to remove adds I will never open a new yahoo email. I wish I could better forward all my email from yahoo to google so when I delete it it will delete on my yahoo.

I am so sick and tired of my phone email and computer email not syncing. This is ridiculous and when I empty the trash it says there was a problem. I am about ready to get rid of Yahoo

yahoo, quit fixing/trying to improve something that already works. every time you guys try to "improve" you email service, in ends up worse than it was before...STOP IT!!!!!

Have enjoyed Yahoo email and yahoo search engine since they were number one in the field. And I caddied for chief yahoo Jerry Yang at the San Francisco Golf Club. His kind appreciation of my venture into Silicon Valley business during the dotcom meltdown buying used cell phones for resale has inspired me to this day.

Theres not much more i can say i feel this has been forced upon me by sky.com even forced to write a longer review ....

After calling to discuss a issue, and quickly being hung up on and my number blocked.i called back again fron a different number once again was quickly hung up on and number blocked.i called 5 times using different numbers never got to discuss my issue,everyone who answered sounded like nigerians,bottom line c9mpletely done with anything yahoo.

Quit popping up with the stupid ad free option! I dont want or need it. quit popping up. I change it to the basic version, but it just pops back up everytime. Again, I dont care about the new ad free $#*!!!!!!!

Their system used to work well however their new system is quite poor. They have gone from an efficient system that worked to one that is buggy and continually shows pops ups asking if you'd like to accept their advertising - it never goes away and you can't click no. I suspect this is an illegal practice in Europe. Sending emails to help support is time wasted as nothing ever comes back. Avoid.

yahoo mail is $#*!ing garbage now i need to find new provider.............................................................................................

I know it won't make any difference, but I have to get this off my mind. Why the frog would yahoo make their classic version...the one that I could set the view to the way I like it...unavailable. Only two versions...the newest one, and the "basic" one that pops up encouragement to switch to the newest version EVERY time??? What the frog was broken with the old version? Was it too difficult for their IT guys to code? If every contact I had was using my yahoo email address, I would switch to something else. Thank God there are IT guys that love bells and whistles so much they feel compelled to force everybody else to use them as well. OK, 'nuff said.Your search - I know it won't make any difference, but I have to get this off my mind.

I have no problem with advances in technology, but not when old tried and true is discarded.
After all Yahoo mail is just that.... its mail... a way of communicating with others. Today I could not log-in... there was a new feature, they asked me for my phone number or another email address with the pretense that I can "recover".
Since I had no choice I complied and I got a "log-in" number sent via my phone. It took me 3 attempts to figure out what to do, since it was not obvious to me where to enter these 5 digits of log-in number. Anyway these log-in numbers are nonsense as well, Many banks now ask me to enter the login number they have sent to my phone. This means, that my bank account is only as safe as my password for my yahoo mail?
All these road blocks with the pretense to make things safer do not work. I had to change my CC number twice last year because of fraudulent debits on my account and the CC has a chip, I never lost it and I never handed it to anybody... not even in a restaurant or bar... where I pay cash only.
To prevent identity theft, I propose we start the hangings of those who get caught... this would stop it. Our laws are too weak to prosecute anybody and CC companies just "accept" the losses and move on.
So, Yahoo Mail... just a password to log in please... nothing more. Allow me to make it weak or strong... stay logged in or not... my choice.
And when you make changes... only additions to functionality (never doing the same thing just different), which I can ignore or not.

After waiting on hold for an hour, I finally got through to someone. I called to reset an old account that I have not used in a while because I needed to find an important email. I was then told by technical support in order to do so I had to be charged a fee before they could go ahead and do that, this is so unheard of!!!! after asking to speak to a supervisor I was then hung up on
Way to be professional Yahoo, your giving your giving yourself quite the name especially during this "epidemic"!!!!

Since they have revamped Yahoo mail, I have to delete emails 3 or more times to finally get it to put those emails in the trash. I've contacted the support team 4 or 5 times to complain about these issues yet receive no reply and getting stuck with the same issues! I hate this service!

Absolute rubbish..since the 'latest' mash up was forced on me, I can barely write anything, look at my mail, or add photos. Everytime I move the mouse to do something the Yahoo page, keeps going on and off and on and off, it then jumps to another file or exits and goes into sent or draft section.

I can't cancel a photo if i decide not to send that particular one..the list of problems is endless, and the page colours are too dark or vivid white.

I have hardly any control over it!! It is worse than rubbish and I do not want to go back to Classic Mail, I want the previous set up.

Some arrogant or abjectly stupid person or persons is responsible for the plie of junk that is now Yahoo Mail. CHANGE IT.

I've had a Yahoo! account for a few years now and just this morning, I noticed that MY phone number (the only number I've had) is linked to someone else's account! In trying to figure out what was happening, I used up all of the available codes sent to my phone for 24 hours, so I emailed Yahoo! support and called them. THEY WON'T HELP ME UNLESS I PAY THEM!!! The scariest part about this is that the person whose account is linked to my number, I could go in and change their password without confirming that I'm the owner of that account, and suddenly my password no longer works for me on my account, so there's a good chance MY PASSWORD HAS BEEN CHANGED BY SOMEONE ELSE, and of course to terminate my account and switch it to a better email service, I need to enter my freaking password!

I changed my password this morning and can get into my account fine on my computer. However, I am unable to access my account through the yahoo mail app on my phone. I've spent at least 2 hours working on this issue. I even broke down and paid the $5 to get yahoo tech support but they can't help either. I can't get through the capchak because I'm visually impaired and can't see the pictures. I've tried the audio version more than a half dozen times and can't ge through that either. Yahoo is user unfriendly!

Well they are not the best and not the worst. I have had several Yahoo mail accounts over the years and have not had issues.

I believe the title says it all. If that were the goal of a website, yahoo would be accomplishing this with 5 stars (completely undesirable). Unfortunately, this is one of my first web addresses, so I have a lot of contacts through them. I can only believe that the reviews of progress and one of the best have been written by yahoo employees.
Yahoo is an inefficient, manipulating troller. Wish I'd never subscribed, but choices were limited back then.
Yahoo, your age is your only hope, but as you're going, you're going to die of old of it. We'll celebrate that death unless you change your sucky direction.

My family has been using Yahoo Mail for many years and it has turned into the most non-user friendly web based email application out there. I'm beyond done with it! Yahoo is successfully striving to go backwards. How does one make sense of the email in my Inbox using this email platform? The format changed years ago and is absolutely useless and beyond frustrating. How about a normal chronology of my email string??? Fire all of your developers and start over. Good luck.

I've been using Yahoo! mail for MANY years; suffice it to say that I switched from AOL to Yahoo!, and stayed with Yahoo! ever since. A few years ago, I started using GMail, and now use both; however, I think it's time to simply say goodbye to Yahoo! mail. NOTE that everything described is about my PAID mail account (which, to me, makes all of this infinitely worse):

* They roll out new "features" which break existing ones. You might be tempted to say that all companies do this, and you'd (sadly) be right; but, that doesn't make it okay.
* When these new features are released, we (the users) discover them entirely by accident; there's no announcement or disclosure made. Again, just because other companies are like that doesn't make it okay. A comprehensive list of "features" and "how to" instructions that are kept current would be nice, but communication with the end-user isn't a priority.
* I spend A LOT of time trying to move items into folders, and their keyboard-actions are beyond bad: The use of a keypress to do a thing (i.e., hit the "E" key to archive, the "D" key to show a list of folders...) is great, but they simply can't process the keystrokes consistently. For example, after selecting one-or-more items, I hit "D" to bring up the list of my folders, wait a long time for it to appear, then start typing the name of the folder (which SHOULD filter the list of folders). Sadly, the processing of keys is quite unpredictable, which means that when I'm typing something to filter the folder list (such as the word "RELEASE"), it MIGHT filter the list, or it MIGHT process the keys "R" "E" and "L", which means that I'm now {"R"esponding to the e-mail, moved it to the archiv"E", and Starred it}.
* The processing of each keypress takes far too long for well-written JavaScript -- for me to press a key and have to wait 10 seconds (or longer) is unforgivable. This is especially true of hitting "D" to bring up the list of folders, which would be INFINITELY faster if they'd use a compiled list of the folders; however, my suggestion about that is being ignored.

You MIGHT think that if we continue to complain, something will improve and, until recently, I thought that, as well. But, here's the harsh reality: Why should they make things better? I mean, what's their incentive? To make things better for their users?
Most people, nowadays, simply accept things the way they are and think, "Well, that's just the way it is." Think of their inaction as a form of ghosting: They're ignoring our requests to fix things, and eventually we'll just give up. At that point, they've accomplished their goal: They have a product that people use, they've invested little-or-nothing in it, and nobody bothers them with whining about things WORKING.

It will take me a long time to move completely off of Yahoo!. But, since they've gone to a lot of effort to ignore us, it makes no sense to stay. I'm not recommending anything else, in particular -- I'm just saying that Yahoo! is no longer a tenable option for me, and perhaps you might agree.

Best of luck to all!

I was trying to access my account for yahoo it block me out. All the f**king info is old since I started the account in 2004. They want to charge me $12.00 to change my $#*!ing password. OMG the staff is horrible.
