Anyone else having problems with Yahoo mail?

Mine was fine until I received 2 emails,....ads for spectacle
place, and the tick box to the left was obscured by a small pic. So I clicked on it, + then opened AdBlock and it let me slide a slidey thing until I was "happy the ad was obscured". Left it for a while, and now every single email had disappeared.

I had lots of folders, + can't see anything in them. I'll be gutted if I've lost those emails,....some of them I've had for over 10 years. :(

Please help, somebody..:(

Thanks

Sorry I misread your question. I thought that you had changed the screen size.

Maybe someone will be along who can help you.

Good luck

Yahoo has been misbehaving for me today, doing something it's never done before. When I click to empty the Trash folder it tries to delete the Inbox instead. Summat's up.

Glad you sorted it.
I usually access mine using an e-mail client so don't get that issue.

No expert on Adblock but doesn't it work on all websites rather than just specific ones such as Yahoo ? Click on whatever browser icon it displays (top right I think, and see what the settings are set to. Ensure it's active and not set Yahoo as whitelisted or whatever.

BTW it won't affect e-mails, it affects ads you would otherwise see when visiting the website. Only Yahoo account settings for spam will sort e-mails. But if you use a client it will have further spam recognition settings, and you can, in tandem, use something like Mail Washer for extra control.

@O-G good morning! All is sorted now thanks.
Original problem was that all the contents of inbox, sent + draft folders had disappeared, but by following Tuvok's advice I managed to fix that.

It IS possible to block ads on a certain site,..which I did with Yahoo mail + that's when it went back to normal.

I've twigged to just leave email ads in inbox, although there isn't a little box next to them to tick + delete, they will go when I do mass delete .

Cheers
