Ive had Yahoo email for years. Only recently did they incorporate a new "service" whereby email that is composed for sending becomes saved into a drafts folder. Every few minutes the draft becomes the copy to be sent, so if you are editing your email the Yahoo service sends out the draft and not the edited version. So here I am sending out cut parts of email or even empty emails to people. What a joke. Yahoo Customer service is useless. Why is Yahoo so popular- good riddens.

I have registered my E-Mail Id's - two viz. under melody_tresa@yahoo.com and tresa_ibs2008@yahoo.co.in. Both seems to be blocked or compromised.
Inspite of typing the password right some how it does not register me. As such I have lost some of my important mails in the process and even friends.
Your procedure to recall is very difficult to type the sign word or on audio as we are not allowed to use hear phones or speakers, which hope you will understand.

I now request you to kindly help me to get my same old E-Mail IDs with simple method on my mobile [protected] at the earliest.

I had a yahoo ID name "oputachi@yahoo.com" for about three months now, I have been unable to access mails on that box. This started when I noticed that some unknown persons were using my address to sen mails to people, advertising some products unknown to me. I tried changing my password once and again. At a time, I forgot my password. Since then, efforts to access that mail box has failed. The last time I nearly succeeded, I was told that that user ID does not exist.
I wish to use this medium to appeal that that ID be resuscitated as there are many important mails I cannot afford to loose in that mail box. My alternate email address is u.anyafulu@gmail.com and my full name is "Anyafulu, Uchechuku Oputa.
Thank you.
Yours Sincerely,

I saw all your negative comments warning against yahoo voice. All these comments are a year ago or older. Did Yahoo Voice ever get it together for you? Or did you find another service that works? One says Skype is better. I was trying to find out about Skype. I can't tell if their message taker gives you a phone number like yahoo voice or does it work off your home phone number? Is the phone company involved? I found some service before that required you to buy service from the phone company, so I never got that working. If anyone can tell me anything it'd be great. It'd be great if you had the option to pick up like yahoo voice, but even just messages will help.
I really need to get another phone number online or a message taker. I need to not miss calls when I'm online. I can't be unreachable, but I need to use the computer. And DSL cost has been killing me. I finally had to stop.

Sorry this isn't a complaint exactly. I guess my complaint would be on this complaints board. Why was it before all I found were how to post my complaints as a comment? Now I can't find how to comment on Submit Complaint. Whatever.

I just want to complaint about the recent sms on my mobile that I received saying that I have won US$ 2 million in lottery held by Yahoo/msn UK and to contact Dr.Brian Cole. I knew it was too good to be true but same time amused also thinking who would be so generous to throw away money to some complete strangers. Moreover I had never taken part in this lottery nor given my number to any. When I logged on to the above website just out of curiosity( perhaps greed also) I saw the Complaint board site and logged on to it. I saw to my amazement that I was not the only one who had been sent the similar sms . I feel sorry for those who have fallen into such traps and sent personal information but at the same time warn others to be careful. I just hope such websites or fake people would be arrested and charged accordingly.

My office had been using yahoo voice for quite some time now to make overseas calls. Before it used to be that when the phone on the other line rings, yahoo does not charge as long as no one picks up the call and as long as you are able to cancel the call within 60 seconds.

Nowadays, after upgrading to yahoo messenger 9, we noticed that the moment the phone rings, yahoo already charges your for a minute call block. We checked this when we loooked at our phone out logs. It is crazy! ouor credit just goes away like water.

Another thing that we noticed is that yahoo always adds an extra 3 seconds to your talk time after you finish the call. Say if you cancel the call on the 58th second, when the meter registers after you cancel the call, it will say that you talked for 1 min and 1 second. The problem with this is that yahoo charges on a per minute basis! so you end up still paying for two minutes instead of one!

About 2002 I applied and paid for a website with Yahoo / Geocities.

After some months I realized the YAHOO GEOCITIES system was incompatible with mine. No pages could be viewed. I was based in the UK at the time.

I tried countless times to make contact with zero results.
Eventually I tried to obtain a refund. Again Zero results. Requests for them to contact me were also ignored.

I was acting for a registered charity in the UK and did not approve of our paying for zero results.

Not a large amount was involved but we resent paying money and receiving nothing and "NO CO-OPERATION". I think was around $80.

Details: Yahoo Account no: [protected]
Order ID. 353 2686
Hoped for web address which did not materialize: http://www.geocities.com/proberesearch99

The year might have been as early as 1999.

I think a large firm such as YAHOO should have been willing to listen to our complaints. They obviously weren't.

We have our website hosted on Yahoo Small Business India since 2010. For the past 10 days, the website is not working and all the emails are getting bounced. We are unable to communicate with our clients and suppliers. Multiple complaints made and we receive only automated responses with Incident IDs [protected], [protected], [protected]). No response to the complaints or no solutions yet. Yahoo Small Business India is putting our business to stake. If we call the Toll Free number, the waiting time is exceedingly long. Every year, they keep increasing the fees, but the service quality is going down every year.

What is the problem with Yahoo 's Top News Stories and ATT that I'm getting more and more 404 URL's on all the Yahoo Top News Stories today and about everyday or every other day that read things like [protected], html not found on this server? What am I paying? Somebody needs to put a fire under somebody's REAR-END and get this problem fixed. No Ands, Ifs, or Buts about it . Someone that has the authority needs to intervene cause I sure can't get a REAL person on the line to even voice my COMPLAINT.

If you register a domain with you Yahoo! be prepared for sticker shock when the renewal date arrives. They will charge you $35 to renew the domain which is almost 4x what the going rate is. They will NOT give you a refund and make it almost impossible to transfer your domain over to another service such as GoDaddy. I have been on hold for 10 minutes trying to talk to someone. Stay away from these guys. Their company is having a lot of trouble and their customer service is completely in the dumps.

Below is a copy of an e-mail I just sent to Yahoo.com:

Dear Sir, Madam, Tresspasser:

I just came back to my computer after foolishly leaving a browser open to discover Yahoo had installed its stupid tool bar and who knows what else into Mozilla Firefox. I am furious. I will be selling my Yahoo stock immediately and never want you yocals to set foot in my machine again. Geez. What hubris. If what you do isn’t illegal, it should be. I intend to complain to Mozilla as well.

Be gone, Yahoo, be gone! Now.

I have a five year statue of limitations on Yahoo Answers
Account suspension and violation notices. Yahoo Answers
Community has been attacking me verbally since 2007;
I recently posted a wrestling question about Superstar Triple H; who is in charge, they reported my question, I knew what I was talking about, I watched wrestling for thirteen years and They act like I don't know anything, They call me names Like Virgin Nerds and tell me I'm a waste of space, I wish them to stop harassing users who have opinions that they disagree with. Can you make
Them stop, please? Report their moderator and have them
Put on trial?

I am sick and tired of clicking on an interesting video from the Yahoo home page, then listening to the stupid ad and then being told that the video is no longer available.
From now on I am going to write to the complaint departments of the products advertised and tell them that I am not buying their product until Yahoo provides viewing of the video associated with their ad.
This is a cheap advertising gimmick used by Yahoo to show "clicks" I am sure to their advertisers while the user doesnt get the product they came to see (the video). Very deceptive and abusive. Not buying the advertisers service may stop Yahoo from this practice.
If the video is not available then take it off the home page. You are not giving a good image to your advertisers.

Yahoo arbitrarily accused me of spamming and blocked my account from sending emails. This was done with no warning or discussion. I was sending an email to 20 family and friends before I ship out to Afghanistan. I leave tomorrow morning and will not be able to log in for some time. I tracked down a help desk phone number, but they refused to help and directed me to an online tech-help form. The tech-help said it would take more than 24 hours. I ship out in 20 hours. I explained this to the customer service person and they still refused to help.

The email that arrives in you inbox looks very official. It carries the familiar Yahoo! Mail logo and has a heading that warns, "Your Account Will Be Blocked."
If you're one of the millions of people who have a Yahoo! Mail account, you might be inclined to take the message seriously.
"Due to the congestion in all Yahoo! users accounts, Yahoo! would be shutting down all unused accounts, " the message warns. "In order to avoid the deactivation of your account, you will have to confirm your e-mail by filling out your Login info below."
The message then asks for the user name, password, date of birth and country of residence. The request for such sensitive information, along with the not-quite-right grammar, is a tip off the very real-looking document is a fake.
"You should assume that any unsolicited message asking for your Yahoo! ID and password, security key, or other sensitive information is part of a scam to gain unauthorized access to your account, " Yahoo! security told ConsumerAffairs.com in an email.
If you have already entered your information into a suspicious message, Yahoo! Security advises users to immediately change their password and update any other information you provided.
If you find that you are no longer able to access your Yahoo! Mail account, contact Yahoo! Security and select the link "I gave my password to someone and am now unable to access my account."
If scammers gain access to your mail account, they also gain access to sensitive emails that you may be keeping. By hijacking your account, they can also use it to send out millions of spam email messages.

There are a lot of cases where yahoo are suspending peoples email account and they are not given any explanation for their actions and are simply getting out of giving explanations by quoting their 'tos'

i held an account with yahoo for ten years then after changing my password i found no matter how many times i tried with the new password i couldn't log in.

i went to the reset form and it told me to contact customer services. i contacted them and was told that the account was locked, i was given no explantion and redirected to report abuse but as no one had done anything then i thought why am i filling out this form.

in respect of that there was no abuse i sent an email to yahoo and was told that my old account had been suspended.

i have asked 3 times for an explanation and each time i am fobbed off and quoted 'tos'.

as this yahoo 'tos' is miles long and i have no idea of what violation i might of committed. it seems to be a shamble if you haven't done anything wrong for an account which has been held for so long to be stopped and further more in ten years i haven't received one warning!

in my eyes yahoo have no respect and are disgraceful if they can't provide a simple explanation to stopping someone's account after holding it for so long.

if you are a representive of yahoo why would you be suspending so many peoples accounts without any form of explanation. yahoo to hide behind 'tos' is not acceptable and people are owed decent, honest explanations as to why their accounts are been suspended
