Wodered why the Avatar I set up does not show on questinns& Anawers,but a picyure that i have on my blog,is up there

Spammers suck, but it would be great to update FAQ’s on how to properly send mail to Yahoo customers. I spent a lot of time and energy getting Domain Keys working and they didn’t help. It was only our White List request that helped. Also, when is Yahoo going to enable a feedback loop again (like AOL)? There are a lot of legit sysadmins who need to send mail to Yahoo customers. What should we do to ensure successful mail delivery? Thanks.

How about https for added security?

September 29th, 2008 at 7:54 pm

There are multiple options that have been shown as ‘we’re still tweaking these features…’ ; it’s been that way for a couple years. Will those ever get fixed? And can we expect a new Yahoo Calendar (anyone work on that?) to integrate with Mail?

I just want to know why Yahoo took away our choices as to how we want our e-mails sent. For example, I had a choice as to where I wanted the Bcc and now yahoo took that choice away and I have to keep cliquing it all the time when I want to send to a bunch of people. Why can’t I have the choice of just leaving it there instead of having to click on it.

What I miss in the New Yahoo! mail is being able to put check marks next to my contacts in my address book to add them to the cc,bcc line as opposed to having to enter each one individually.

Once spam has been identified as such and deleted, couldn’t that spammer be automatically prevented from ever entering the mail account again, i.e. automatically blocked/deleted/bounced by yahoo? I get numerous spams with the same messages every day. I think I like the bounce idea best - let the spammer deal with the returned emails!!! See how they like getting their mailboxes filled with junk mail!

Hello Ryan, I think it would be very interesting for all the Yahoo! Mail Postmaster readers some more info on your Complaint Feedback Loop. When it’s gonna be relaunched ?

September 29th, 2008 at 11:19 pm

I would like to be able to have a little bit more space for a signature line. That would be on my Christmas list.

Thanks!

I’d love to be able to hit a key and block an email address I don’t want to see again! Make it easier please?
I would also like the BCC back where it used to be to send blind copies.
I’d like more colorful back grounds without child-like characters.
When I clean up an email from addresses and junk..sometimes it doesn’t erase easily and i have to do it sentence by sentence.
Frustration!
I, too get the same Spam addresses sometimes 2 or 3 times a day. No matter that it comes into my spam account..I’d love to see it gone. Adding them to the block list doesn’t do anything.
I’d love to have a calender to look at while writing emails!!!!

I’d like to see added features like more available color schemes, a cool inbox audio player for sound files (like Hotmail), the ability to BCC people without having to put someone in the To field. I’ve also been told a new Yahoo Calendar will be released. When is this going to be available..?? It should be integrated into Yahoo Mail as another tab not another web page.

I agree with Wendy’s comment on 9/29. Not a pleasure to send multiple emails the way it is presently set up. Would like to have a click box for each contact.

September 30th, 2008 at 3:59 am

Hi Ryan; Just wondered if other people have encountered the same problem I’m having and have any solution. When I try to access my account a sign comes up saying that I’ve encountered a “Temporary
Inconvenience” and that they’re working on it. But it’s been two days now!
Have tried just about everything, refresh, going through ym, etc. and nothing works.

First of all, IMAP for Y! Plus users. I’m sure that a Y! Plus user prefers to pay Yahoo! to have IMAP access than use it free with Google.

September 30th, 2008 at 9:23 am

Ryan,

I’m still waiting to see the ability to create sub-folders. Also, it would be great to have an option in search to search just the subject line and not the full text of the email.

when you start typing a name, many possibilities show up in drop down menu so you can just click on one - that is great - but it brings up ALL the addresses you have ever used for that person - even the ones you have deleted. please have it check and if deleted, do not show or give us the opportunity to right click the deleted address and delete it from memory so it won’t show up again. I constantly find I send email to an addrewss I deleted and the person never gets the email

I want to teach the world how to bake a cake. I am tired to go to the supermarkets and eat something synthetic made by some one else. I want to be for the every American that wants to feel good by eating their own food.

September 30th, 2008 at 1:12 pm

It would be great if someone could explain what is up with these temporary problems accessing your account with different numbers. I’ve experienced an error 14 and 15 so far and my housemate stumbled upon an error 5. They were solved quickly but keep coming back and I need to sign out, refresh etc. and it’s annoying.

September 30th, 2008 at 1:17 pm

I am with the other guy; how do you replace your avatar wiith a real picture.

September 30th, 2008 at 7:13 pm

I would like to know if it is possible to send a copy (while retaining the original in you inbox) of incoming emails to another email address.
I would like a copy sent to my work address as well.

September 30th, 2008 at 7:26 pm

How do i set up my e-mail contacts into groups (friends, family,etc.) and add names later into their proper groups?

Having been a 10-year loyal Yahoo Mail client, I have been extremely disappointointed that one of the so-called “improvements” is the draft function where the draft disappears once the email is sent. I know you can press the shift key while sending, but for all of us used to drafts saving and remaining in the draft folder, this really sucks. What is the possibility of reverting this back to how it used to be? I cannot see any benefit to the way you have altered this function now!

Thank you!
