  5. I have more than 10 contacts, however only 10 show up. If I delete one, another one on the list is displayed, making the list of ten again.

    How do I get the list of contacts expanded to show all my contacts/

    If I do a new email and start part of the address of someone that is on my contact list (but does not show up on the 10 displayed), the address is completed. So, I know all the contacts are there, I just can’t display them.

    Please advise.

    • Yahoo has and continues to fail at one of the most fundamental functions of an email service, the setup and maintenance of the customer’s contacts.. The number of users having these problems with the Yahoo email system is huge – and the people at yahoo can’t seem to fix it. Verizon Communications purchased Yahoo in 2017. The problems have worsened since then. So, the best advise I can offer is to do what I am doing – leave Yahoo, I have been a user since Yahoo was created but I can’t stay with them. I have had accounts with two other email providers for several years with no problems. None. Goodby Yahoo.

    • I took a look at the video and I hope I never have to deal with that piece of crap. People at Yahoo must have come from Microsoft! We need a new word for “idiot” to describe you people.
