Help needed with Yahoo mail

18 years ago

I have this as a secondary email address and I accidentaly marked one email as spam. This is for something similar to Free Cycle. What do I do to get it back? Is there a separate blocked senders list that I can access or will it come into either the Bulk or Trash folders? There are always several emails from them each day and has been nothing for a couple of days in any of the folders.

Any suggestions will be welcomed.

Thanks

Go to OPTIONS at the top of your page. Then on the next page you'll see something about Blocking Senders. Click on this. The email address you called "spam" may be on your blocked sender list. Highlight it and click at the bottom of the box to "despam" it.

Let me know how this works.

PS. How have you been? Still shopping?

Thanks, mona blair. I didn't find anything that mentions blocking senders but I have been fooling around and I think I may have got it corrected. If not, I'll get back to you again. I do thank you very much

FireFox and Yahoo Mail problem...help please

I have never seen a firefox add-on called that, I did a search on firefox extensions page and nothing with realplayer in the name even came up. That is a new one on me. You can always try getting Real Player again should you find you need it. Or you can get something like Real Alternative which will play Real stuff and is light and easy. Download Real Alternative RealPlayer as stated by MozillaZine you have 2 alternatives for Real media. since you gave me the exact name I googled it and sure enough it apparently does appear for some people and it looks like it is causing a lot of problems and it can be disabled here are the results Here is a link that might be useful: search result

I'm not really familiar with Yahoo mail but my guess is that the email address presented to you should be an alternate email you provided sometime in the past, to be used at a time like this. If that address is unfamiliar to you, I would fear that it was entered by a hacker. Maybe not but even if it wasn't, sending recovery info to an unknown address wouldn't do you any good. I wonder if Yahoo Customer Care would help you regain control? That or someone who's been through it before will come by and with a better answer.

from one of the other forums I am on, using this link to access yahoo mail should take you to the classic view. https://login.yahoo.com/config/login_verify2?.src=ym&.done=http%3A%2F%2Fus.mc817.mail.yahoo.com%2Fmc%2Fwelcome this link is down below in clickable form might give it a try and see if it works. Mine is still in classic so I can't try it. this was another option mentioned That I saw Go to my.yahoo.com ; in the Personal Assistant box click on Mail. If you don't have a box with mail you can choose options and select on to be Mail. Then hover over the Mail envelope and you'll see your emails. Click on one and voila, it brings you straight into classic interface. Here is a link that might be useful: log in link for classic view

Thanks kudzu9 and linesman. I have tried the logging in and out before and it would work sometimes then go back to doing nothing. Linesman, I knew I could click on the word subject like you said, but I just thought it wasn't working properly. None of my family are having the same problem though. It's always me that has problems with yahoo,lol. So do you think I have a newer update? I don't know why I would. Do they have more recent updates that I accidentally found? And believe me, it would be an accident!!! And if y'all are tired of my rambling, I appreciate y'all's help. thanks, gabby

Did you see "Options" on your home page?
And on the next,"Block Addresses"?

No, Monablair, I just found " options" under "Tools" and on the right hand side I found " page option. I didn't find anything about blocked senders under either.

Are you referring to the new Yahoo page? Mine is an older one.

However, I did get ino the site that I had blocked ( I had a shortcut to it on my desktop) and I did alter a setting there, that instead of geting emails 2 or 3 times a day I get one every time someeone offers something, or finds something, which is very frequent. This will become a nuisance, I'm sure, but is better than nothing.

I do so very much appreciate your help.

You're up too high on your screen. You need to look on the actual Yahoo page.

On the right hand side you'll see this:

Mail For Mobile - Mail Upgrades - Options

Next page takes you to this:

Mail Options

Customize our anti-spam tools to maximize your spam protection:

SpamGuard
Marking Spam + Not Spam

Block Addresses
Block addresses from which you don't want to receive mail.
