    Contact options for Yahoo Mail

Check the email account that you provided to Yahoo for a summary of Yahoo's findings. It might include steps to solve the problem. The process can take anywhere from two to 24 hours.

If you have a simple question and don't want to wait for a full scan of your Yahoo Mail account, click the Contact Us or Yahoo Help Community button on the Yahoo Help screen under the Mail tab.

If you see a Yahoo customer service number posted online, it isn't for Yahoo support and is likely a scam. The call could result in a request for credit card, banking, or account login information. Don't give out this information. Yahoo support is free, and their support site addresses always end in yahoo.com.
