Monitor?
When I check my Yahoo email lately I randomly get a popup(?) titled "monitor". I noticed that someone had asked about this in "Yahoo Answers" but the question had been deleted. Anyone know anything about this and if so, would this be something that should go into the Yahoo Mail page here? -A. 10:51 July 20, 2007
"Monitor" becomes an ad when left alone.

Everytime I ask about this in Yahoo answers they delete the question. "Question has been deleted. Sorry, we had to remove that question. The question violated community guidelines" Shady? Just a bit? J C 1:13AM July 30th, 2007
- It bypasses pop-up blockers.
No delivery problem?
is anyone else having trouble with sending/receiving mails on Yahoo Mail beta? I got this mail after contacting the support:

Nickname Problem
As from January 2007, I have noticed that the nickname feature (when you have "automatically complete" turned off and just type the nickname into either the To:, CC: or BCC: field) has broken and just keeps returning a syntax error.
It seems to be affecting everyone and there is numerous posts about it (search a search-engine with strings such-as "yahoo nickname problem" to see). Is this worth mentioning on the main page? I'm not going to add it myself, as, because it has only been mentioned in forums and not officially by Yahoo!, it does not class under Wikipedia as a "validly cited reference".
If anyone can find a link to an official Yahoo! help page mentioning the error, please add this information onto the main page. Thanks!

Mocha eval expression filters
Is the "mocha eval expression" filter thing true (anymore)? I just tried it and no words were changed and no underscores were added.
Is this too POV?
I was about to add this to the page, but feel it may be a little too POV:
When Yahoo increased their quota to 100mb, they also removed a couple of featurs that many users found useful:
- Some older accounts had free POP3 access; this access was removed when the upgrade happened.
- It used to be possible to write messages in raw HTML by clicking on a checkbox marked "this mail is in HTML". After the upgrade, Internet Explorer is the only browser that allows people to write non-ASCII email messages, and even that no longer allows direct editing of HTML in emails.

Merge?
There has been suggestion that too many of Yahoo!'s services have their own pages. This is a borderline case, so please discuss at Talk:Yahoo!. - IMSoP 15:36, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
History???
Is it really necessary to have a seperate heading 'History'? Anyway there's very little about the history of yahoo mail in this page. Jam2k 17:10, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)
No 'Save sent items'
After the upgrade to 250MB the 'Save Sent Items' option is gone! Maybe they felt its not needed anymore. Anything else found missing?Jam2k 11:30, Dec 2, 2004 (UTC)
The "Save sent items" feature is now automatic for every message; you can enable or disable this in "Preferences."
Can anyone update the login page screenshot?
Can anyone update the login page screenshot? Current one shows that Yahoo! Mail gives 250 MB to its users. Capacity of free account is now 1 GB. 85.99.152.213 22:58, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
Free POP3 Access
I get free POP3 access. My account is a yahoo.com.au email account. So the article is WRONG in what it says about free accounts. Dankru 05:41, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
International website do not follow the same strategy as yahoo.com accounts. I had a yahoo.fr email address and in order to get pop for free I had to subscribe to some yahoo-related or Yahoo-partners newsletters. That was about 3 years ago. Guillaumeb

Any options for direct navigation of yahoo mail?
I have abt 2000 mails in my Inbox (thanks to the whopping 1GB inbox provided by Yahoo). Now if I have to reach the 1000th email, do I have to click 'Next' 40 times? Is there no easier means of reaching the 1000th mail directly?
Yes! One of the best features of Yahoo! Mail is the ability to search your mails. Above the list of e-mails in your inbox there should be a box labeled search, here you can type in the name of the sender or even a phrase found in the e-mail you are looking for and it will bring you a list of all the matching e-mails.
Cleanup
I added the cleanup tag. The history section is written in the form of a personal story. I'm sorry that I don't have the time to rewrite it myself, but hopefully this tag will at least draw attention to it. kmccoy (talk) 10:00, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
The comparison with Gmail is 95% biased. Yahoo Mail lacks lots of features that Gmail has. And Gmail uses AJAX while Yahoo still not. Yahoo Mail certainly is not the best webmailer. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 05:46, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
new anti spam action
I just saw while sending an email I had to enter a confirmation code. Is this new? And should it be added? Matt "AgentA" 03:25, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

"Yahoo!'s major competitors include Gmail, AIM Mail, AOL, and Hotmail."
AIM Mail, Gmail and Hotmail are competitors to Yahoo! Mail, but is AOL a competitor? AIM Mail is provided by AOL, I understand.
Also, it shouldn't be "Yahoo!'s major competiors". It should be "Yahoo! Mail's major competitors".
If no one corrects this, I will do so. Please discuss here.

Prepended
The article says:
I tried sending email to a Yahoo mail account and the words expression weren't changed in any way.
Maybe i'm not testing it the right way, so i'll let the experts change it. --Amir E. Aharoni 07:14, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
Number of registered email accounts
Is there any documentation about the number of registered email aaccoutns?
Unicode support (or lack thereof)
Does Yahoo Mail support Unicode? From my experience, no. I suppose it should be mentioned in this article. Of all people in the world, the majority can't stick with the so-called 'English' characters. Moreover, Yahoo doesn't even support extended ASCII charsets. Jancikotuc 14:29, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Unlimited?
No one ever can, or ever will offer unlimited storage. So, anyone who claims to do so is hiding the actual limits. Which is bad, and confusing for everyone. So, the actual limits should be documented in the article, when available.-69.87.194.251 22:53, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
Someone insisted on changing the article back so that it repeats the Yahoo marketing lies, as truth. (Without bothering to discuss the matter here.) Nothing is unlimited. If you believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, just go store 1000GB on your Yahoo mail account -- and then come back and tell us all how easy it was!-69.87.204.46 12:49, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
So, I see that the Hive Mind is still sanctioning absurd marketing lies in the article claiming "unlimited storage"... It will be very amusing to watch how long this lasts! Still waiting for that first field report of success at storing 1000GB. Of course, that would be a LONG way from unlimited... Next we could try, say, 1,000,000GB... (I hope companies that want to sell Perpetual Motion also take advantage of this golden opportunity to use WP to back up their marketing departments. Live Forever? No-diet weight loss? Bring it all on!)-69.87.200.185 11:3
