Yahoo! yahoo email lagging, crashing, slow, and ad riddled

The link Yahoo sent me when I complained only tells me how to hide some of the ads. Hiding the ads dos not stop them from loading; i.e., the processes that are causing lag to my computer from all those 3rd parties loading up are still the problem. I watch the "waiting for..." messages in the lower left corner of my computer screen while I wait for each letter I am typing to show on the screen, or while I wait for refresh, or while I wait to open a new email, or...
It is awful. I do not have these issues with other email service providers. Only Yahoo. They are bogging down their whole service and I am not the only one that complains! It is one thing for ads to appear on the side bars...I can ignore them. But when they take priority over every function I am trying to do in Yahoo, maybe it is time to consider migrating to a more user friendly service. Yahoo must fix this or they will be witnessing a mass exodus of users that have been with them for decades. Me included. This last merger of their was a disaster.

There is too much of this kind of crap without you propagating it.

Yahoo! my iphone and yahoo's unwillingness to help

Since the data breach of Dec 14 I am no longer getting emails on my #4 iphone. I h ave paid people to try and help, been to the apple store that tells me it is a yahoo problem and I have been unable to deal wit this any longer! None of your web pages I've seen even mention this problem/.

The prompt I get is "CANNOT GET MAIL
The connection to the server failed. OK"

That's it. No clue what to do or how to get help. Rummaged through hundreds of your on-line pages and none seem to address this anomaly.

Oddly enough, my standalone computer is fine but I'm ready to just cancel anything to do with Yahoo and open a G-mail account instead. I"ve used your service from the beginning and find this incredibly frustrating because I like to be loyal to Yahoo. I could never get you to recognize my account as [protected]@yahoo.com as you kept insisting it was "bspielbe" but I was able to work around that glitch.

Yahoo! email system compromised

Email ID - [protected]@yahoo.com

I have noticed that my email may have been compromised, for unknown reasons, email response from contacts fails to deliver to my email, with "Address Not found" error.

I have checked my accounts and there are no other accounts associated with it (as far as I can see), so how it gets mail replied to another email address ([protected]@yahoo.com) is quite suprised

The fake email id = [protected]@yahoo.com
(See lltd rather than ltd)

This happens even when one uses the reply button (avoiding manually typing of email id), this has happened severally and I urgently need your kind assistance to review and solve this problem please.

You can reach m on +[protected] (Shedrack Ogboru) or +[protected] (Patrick - IT assistant)

Thank you

Yahoo! yahoo headline for people magazine story on january 19

Atlanta Pit Bull Attack Leaves One Child Dead, Another Seriously Injured

This is the headline for a story by Alexis Fernandez. The lead word in the headline is pit bull. And what is the picture for that headline. A pit bull? No, a Black man. This is outrageous editing.

This is unacceptable. Stupid at best. Racist at worst. Find some new people in layout who know what the hell they are doing, Yahoo.

Yahoo! tech support for non-access to my email account

I have been denied access to a yahoo e-mail address that I had for almost two decades. This has been going on, at great inconvenience to myself for the last past week. The account is [protected]@yahoo.com I have tried several avenues to get tech support and all I got a obstruction and the run around. Such as: 1) each time I started an on-line chat session I was disconnected and had to start all over again until that session was also discontacted. 2) To tried the e-mail route and I was informed that I had to answer ALL the questions to confirm who I was. I explained that I am 75 years old and not at all internet savvy PLUS the fact that since I either didn't know the information or I did not know the information or didn't establish separate folders nor did I keep an address/contact these facts were ignored and told again that I had to answer ALL the questions. These so-called support team also ignored the fact that I did in fact answer several of the questions accurately. I tried several techs but was told to answer to the best of my ability. They seemed understanding but this brought the same results "Unfortunately we could not verify the information you provided. (3) There is a link that asks for an alternative e-mail to send an access code to. I tried this method several time because I do in fact have several e-mail accounts. I have yet to be sent any access code. 4) I had a telephone number to call Yahoo or so I thought. They identified themselves as Yahoo, took control of my computer, ran a scan and told me the Yahoo server had been "hacked" and for a mere $500.00 they would clean up the problem for me. I may be old but I am not supid.

A reply, if any, may be sent to [protected]@gmail.com to Saul Pachman, Cherry Hill, NJ

Surely Yahoo must keep records and thus have an alternative ways of verifying the users are who they say they are.

I also cannot login any longer. I get the message that 'We cannot fix this problem online'. Do they realize how stupid this message is?
Why is the Help Phone Number in W-pedia incorrect? If I were a REAL LIVE company, not a PRETEND one, I would make sure the number is correct at all times. What happens if some world dictator or massive drug dealer cannot login, and tries the bogus phone number? I cannot imagine a happy ending to this story for the Yahoo staff.

I also cannot login to get my email. Yahoo blocks me with an AD trying to force me to use a new secure service I don't want. This new security service probably enables Yahoo to flood my email with advertisements or costs me money. I don't want it, so Yahoo prevents me from logging in.

Saul i agree as I had simliar lousy service on yahoo email issues ending with them giving me a scam tech support 800 number, that tried to sell me a $500 IPL hack repair. I think a class action suite and CA attorney gen investigation is called for.

Yahoo! news credibility

Good morning,
I have been residing in Singapore more than 10 years. For India related news I read only Yahoo India. I am an Indian . Why Yahoo news team did not cover the "jallikattu" issue in Tamil Nadu. Now I lost the trust on Yahoo news credibility. More than 10 thousand youths gathered in allanganallur. I expected, Yahoo India news team will put on their news. Tamil Nadu is also a part of India. What Yahoo posted very important news like "Emily Ratajkowski" showing her curves. Does it so important, when whole Tamil Nadu fighting for their culture ? . Don't you have any news reporters in Tamil Nadu ? We will create awareness using social media against your bias news against Tamil people. Still believe we are indian . Tens of thousands youths got arrested in Tamil Nadu, you should put that on your news, Instead of doing research on Kareena kapoor son's name meaning. If Yahoo continue to fail against Tamil news we will create a group and try to boycott your news. Respect Tamil Nadu .

Yahoo! email service

My father, who is 88, is having problems with his yahoo (btinternet.com) email service. When he tried to access his email on his iPad, it said he had to put in his password, then wouldn't let him do that but said he had to contact the company through a desktop computer, which he doesn't have. We went online through my Mac but with no success. Then I called the customer services number who offered to reset Dad's password (which we didn't need) and then hung up on me! This is not what I would consider good customer service - and my Dad still doesn't have access to his emails.

Yahoo! bounced back emails with yahoo.com addresses

I run a family business as well as a non-profit organization. Over the past 4 years I have sent several messages (and some mass emails 100-150) to various customers/clients with a yahoo.com address. In the past 2 days I have gotten all emails sent to customers/clients with yahoo.com addresses bounced back to me. This is the message that I am getting: Server response to MAIL FROM:
421 4.7.0 [TSS04] Messages from 216.235.172.45 temporarily deferred due to user complaints - 4.16.55.1; see https://help.yahoo.com/kb/postmaster/SLN3434.html
Would you please let me know why this is happening and how we can get it fixed?

Yahoo! 7 news - picture placed without my consent

I want the picture of me and my fiancé and the name of my fiancé to be removed from the following immediately.

https://au.news.yahoo.com/world/a/33801362/dash-cam-busts-bristol-street-motors-darlington-mechanic-speeding-in-his-nissan-juke-on-uk-road/#page1

I did not give consent for our photo to be included in your article on Yahoo 7 News.

This is a breach of my rights. I specifically made it clear to Trinity Mirror that I wished the matter to be discrete. This is becoming out of hand. I was of the understanding that the article was to appear in the Gazette, not every possible news/media outlet. So if you have passed this onto other companies, I want this to be removed, so I expect you to assist me with this.

This is not acceptable. Please remove this article immediately and I require confirmation from you as to why you have taken a photo from my Facebook page to post onto your article without my permission and to post my fiancé's name. Please confirm receipt of this e-mail and that you have removed this.

Regards,

Andrew Siggens

Yahoo! web hosting

5th january 2017

Dear concerned officer,

This is to bring to your kind knowledge, that
We run / host our domain thru yahoo services
Prokon.In

Our annual renewal is due, but we are facing a lot of problem in making the payments

We have understood thru social media, that yahoo has sold these services to some other company.

The problem, we are facing is that, we are un-able to make the payments.
It’s a hopeless and most un-professional system of migrating the accounts, which is happening.

We make our payments thru cheque or rtgs or neft
We do not authorize any organization for auto-debit facility.

We have tried our best to find our contact details of yahoo or new service provider.
We have completely failed. There is nothing available, there are no service centre available.

You are requested, to advice, some office in india, to advice us correct way so that we can make the payments.

Sincerely

Rachit jain

This review on my company dated 5/24/2014 is from an ex-partner loretta wilson who has never used my service but was trading as a dba with me for one year as wilson moss. We disbanded the doing business as and i reverted back to chris moss cpa. You can see from the review this is an inappropriate one star given she has never used my service and is claiming that i am defrauding the public. I would like you to remove this review please as inappropriate for the public.

The i cut and paste the review which is below:

Retta05/24/2014
The firm, wilson moss wealth management does not exist. I am the wilson in wilson moss wealth management, mr. Moss is displayng proprietary information about me and is defrauding the public. I am not associated with mr. Moss in any way. He is not a licensed financial advisor. I am and my company is wilson wealth management llc. Also, click on his website, wilsonmoss.com. It is blank because there is no such company. Yahoo should take down his posting as contains fraudulent information.

Can you please remove this review.

Yahoo! email account-pornographic emails

Dear whom it may concern,

I have been recieving pornographic emails for three months now. Thankfully they are going mostly to my spam folder.

I have managed to unsubscribe from a lot of the sites. However, there are a few that I can not unsubscribe from. I would love to permanently block these sites. Could you please help me?

I find these offensive and I have little children who are able to access my iPad.

Thank you for your help.

Yahoo! yahoo email

Yahoo gets hacked and getting into my email accounts is a nightmare. I can't log in because it says wrong password. I changed it figuring I should be able to get in but no, yahoo still says incorrect password. Yahoo won't recognize my home pc that I've had for almost 2 years so I have to get a text EVERY time. Now I'm locked out for 12 hours because yahoo said I tried too many times. I get work on one of my emails and I can't work because of yahoo's issues. Fix your problems and give my some peace back.

You have been hacked, my account did that in 2013, I only wish I had known before all hell broke loose. My phone account was hacked because of information gained from it, adding >4000 dollars in charges to my phone account. Plus several other hacks to my credit card accounts and bank account. Try password recovery once you are in delete all your emails close the account and open another one.Take the email off any of your financial or contractual institutions.Maybe that way you may mitigate some of the risks.But I would say you have already been exposed.I had to put a fraud hold on my credit report as well.
