What is Yahoo Mail Plus?

Yahoo Mail Plus is a premium version of Yahoo Mail that offers additional features not available in the free version. These features include the ability to use disposable email addresses, an ad-free experience, more storage space, and enhanced spam filtering.

Yahoo Mail Plus subscribers also receive priority customer support for account-related issues.

What is Yahoo Mail Pro?

Yahoo Mail Pro is another premium tier that offers an ad-free experience across all devices, including web and mobile apps. It also provides enhanced support, similar to Yahoo Mail Plus, but focuses on providing a clean, uninterrupted interface for those who use Yahoo Mail heavily on multiple platforms.

What is the account key in Yahoo Mail?

Yahoo Account Key is an alternative to traditional passwords. Instead of entering a password, users receive a push notification on their mobile device to approve login attempts. This feature increases security and simplifies the login process by reducing the need to remember passwords.

What is the maximum I can send in Yahoo Mail?

The maximum email attachment size you can send through Yahoo Mail is 25 MB per message. If you need to send larger files, you can use Yahoo's integration with cloud services like Dropbox to send files as links, which bypasses the size limitation.
