Adblock Plus Premium not able to tell between legit emails and ads. how to fix?

My mother is a senior who loathes ads and she just bought Ad Block Plus Premium to get rid of them. After paying the $20 per year subscription this afternoon, and enabling the extension, it now shows the ad range highlights over not just the ads themselves (top email bar and side bar) but also over the legit emails we actually want.

My question is, did we make it worse by buying Premium when we already had Plus?

Because now we must go to the tray, and click each area we dont want the ad in, and it does remove it by individual element, but for some reason leaves the annoying red highlights.

The only way to stop those red highlights from appearing is to disable adblock on the page, which is counterintuitive:

As you can see, the disabling of the adblock gets rid of the red highlights but the ads remain... including further down the page they appear every 15 emails.

What solution would work best here to eliminate the ads from this email?

  1. somehow altering the settings in Adblock Plus Premium?
  2. going back and downgrading to Adblock Plus?
  3. paying for adfree Yahoo instead?
  4. other solution?

thank you in advance for any help!
