Problems with incoming email

Messages have disappeared from the mailbox

If you accidentally deleted your messages, or your messages have disappeared, try searching for them in the Trash folder (messages in this folder are available for 30 days after being deleted). To recover your emails:

1. Go to the Trash folder.
2. Select the relevant emails. To select a message, tap the sender's profile picture in the message bar.
3. Tap and then at the bottom of the screen.
4. Select the folder you want to move the email to.

If you can't find your missing emails in the Trash folder, it probably means there's no way to recover them.

If you didn't delete the messages, follow these steps:

1. In the Yandex.Mail web interface, go to the Yandex.Mail log and see the information about your mailbox activities over the past week.
2. Change your password in your Yandex ID settings. Make sure you comply with email security rules.
3. Make sure you're not using any apps that can delete emails. If a program that uses the POP3 protocol is installed on your phone, specify in its settings that you want to save email copies on the server when downloading emails.

I don't receive messages from social networks or forums

Attention. If you created a Yandex account after registering on a social media site or a forum, you won't receive a confirmation email. You will need to request the email from the website again.

If you you're not receiving a confirmation email after registering on a social media site or a forum, follow these steps:

1. Make sure you entered the correct email address.
2. Make sure that your message filters don't contain a filter that deletes these types of emails. (You can disable or delete such a rule only in the Yandex.Mail web interface.)
3. Make sure that the social network or forum email address is not blacklisted (You can remove a website address from the blacklist only in the Yandex.Mail web interface.)

If you are sure that the mailbox settings and the email address are correct, try requesting the confirmation email from the website again. If the message does not arrive within a few hours, please contact site administration.
