Yahoo Mail Not Receiving Emails
I have an old Yahoo email account set up just to be linked with my Facebook but a while ago I blocked the Facebook email address so that I would stop receiving notifications every time there was activity on my account. Fast forward a few months and I have forgotten my Facebook password and I have to send a reset password email to my Yahoo account. I went onto my Yahoo account settings and removed the block on Facebook emails but I am still not receiving them. I have checked the spam and deleted folders and there is nothing there and there is no filters set up in the settings. I haven't been able to access my Facebook account for over a week and its driving me mad as it was set up years ago and this email account is the only backup option I have on it. I also cannot reset the password on my phone without knowing my current password which obviously I don't. Facebook have told me that if I cannot access this email account then they will deactivate my account and they aren't helpful if I cannot follow the traditional reset method. Please help!

Yes I am receiving all other emailsIs your Yahoo! account receiving messages from other sources?
My only thought is that maybe it takes some time for blocks or un-blocks to actually take effect. But if you removed the block a week ago that's not at all likely the problem.
That is what I thought originally, unfortunately I can't even access Yahoo technical support because you have to pay premium to speak to an actual person.My only thought is that maybe it takes some time for blocks or un-blocks to actually take effect.

How did you block emails from Facebook?
I had literally just added it as a blocked addressHow did you block emails from Facebook?
Yahoo says the sender isn't notified of blocking.

Unfortunately there's not much you can do to access Facebook if the automated recovery process doesn't work. I think there's a manual process, but that will probably be delayed right now due to COVID-19.
If you get account access back, change notification settings in Facebook instead of blocking emails in Yahoo, and set up 2-factor authentication.

The strange part is that I do have two factor authentication fully set up and I have used it many times, I can see all the settings on it on my phone in which I still have access through the app, I just cannot get it to connect with my laptop despite having worked beforeYahoo says the sender isn't notified of blocking.

If the problem is only with the laptop, then that's a different problem.
