  1. Email tab closing when I don't want it to

    It's impossible to work on multiple emails at the same time because emails that I have open CLOSE on their own when I go to refer to another email or search or Send an email. This email is not usable at ALL!

  6. "Trash"/"Deleted" e-mails

    I'm trying to figure out how to keep ALL of my deleted e-mails that are in my trash. I found out that if I delete an e-mail, that deleted e-mail is only in there for a couple days. I looked everywhere to try to figure out how to change that with NO luck. I've even tried sending an e-mail to "help" and I can't even do that.

  7. The related documents that you sent as a reference in recovering my emails is not applicable considering that I have not deleted all my mail

    Your reference materials for mail recovery is not applicable to my situation. I have not deleted all my mails. It was lost when you change the version of yahoo. Please recover all my mails.

    I recommend that you switch my account to the previous version of yahoo.

    If an account is unused or dormant for 12 months, it is deactivated and its emails are deleted, more info here: help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN2018.html

    If this does not apply to you, You can try doing a search or doing an email restore if the email was deleted in the past 7 days.

    help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN2552.html

    In case you are using a mail client such as Outlook or the Native mobile app, emails may be deleted by that third party client. We do recommend accessing your mail via yahoo.com or the Yahoo Mail app to avoid this issue.

  8. emails gone

    I admit I have not logged into this email account for a while, maybe about six months or so, but I come back and see that all my emails are gone? That is kinda one of the most basic things an email service is supposed to do isn't it? Hold onto emails? And if you guys were going to dump all my emails it seems like I should of gotten some notice or some warning... or some chance to save those emails.

    I hope yahoo will be able to resolve this matter.

  9. Allow option "NO images"

    I'd like to turn OFF images all the time.

    Image download eats up huge amounts of battery and interfere with my ability to do a quick scan of contents.

    I prefer the old approach - turn on image PER EMAIL, as needed.

    The option in Settings to turn OFF images (radio button) - doesn't work.

  10. The Converstaion/Thread viewing was a VERY BAD IDEA!

    Stop linking all the responses in the same email chain. I can't stand this new format. If I want a particular response, I'll open it.

  12. When I delete an E-mail, I expect it to stay deleted, not show up again at some later date.

    Is this a Yahoo thing or a Google thing? Either way it's an annoying surprise.
