Question

How do I actually talk to someone at Yahoo about a problem?

Apparently this option is unavailable of late. You may want to move to a more secure and spam-free email provider.

You may not be able to access it and will have to set up a new email. Email servers need to take privacy seriously.

Question

Someone tried to charge me to access my Yahoo account. How do I report that?

Community Answer

Report it to Yahoo immediately. This is a scam, there is no charge to access the account. If your account has been hijacked, let Yahoo know and also contact the police.

Question

I have been a member of Yahoo for several years, and until recently, I have always been happy with their service. Lately, almost every time that I try to read my email, there is some type of advertisement on the right hand side of the page that cuts off part of the message. Why is this? What can I do about it?

Community Answer

Try installing Adblock Plus to your browser, which will block ads.

Can I get an email back that I deleted?

If the email is in your Trash folder and you didn't permanently delete it, then you will be able to restore it. Click the email and then a restore button should pop up. Click it to restore the email. If you permanently deleted an email, however, you will no longer be able to access it.

I receive emails, but suddenly cannot send or delete. How can I fix this?

Community Answer

If you're still able to receive messages, then this is likely an issue on Yahoo's end. If it doesn't resolve itself within a day or two, contact their support center and they can correct the problem.

Question

Senders are asking me to set up a "Safe Senders List" on my inbox. How do I do this?

R2_d2000

Top Answerer

Follow the steps in How to Add Approved Senders to Yahoo! Mail for directions on adding people to your safe senders list. Make sure that you trust these people, as any email that you add to this list will bypass Yahoo's spam filters.

It could be a scam, log into your Yahoo! account immediately, which will cancel any pending account deletion, then you should change your password , and for additional security, you should Set Up a Second Sign In Verification on Yahoo .
