  1. Search Feature Only Finding Sent Emails

    I've finally reached the point of desperation to post on the forum. I have not been able to find emails on Yahoo for a couple of years now. EVERY time I search for an email, even one that is blatantly right there in my inbox (when I tested the severity of the problem), and I type the sender's name in search for "All Mailboxes", I will only ever get the emails I have sent to this person. I've had to ask clients multiple times to resend me files and contracts because Yahoo has lost all of their emails. What is…

  2. Let me move a Folder directly under INBOX

    I need to move a Folder directly under INBOX. I can't believe how I can't easily do this. Folders are way too far down on left side menu.

  3. Why moving a conversation to folder also moves any "Sent" Email with it?

    Why moving a conversation to folder also moves any "Sent" Email with it? I should be able to view my Sent Emails in the "Sent" folder no matter where the actual or full conversations is moved to, whether archive or a folder. This is really bad email experience that I have to struggle to find my old Sent Emails.

  7. Date limit older emails?

    When sorting my emails from Oldest to Newest I've noticed that my oldest emails stop mid 2003. However, I've used the account from 1999. What happened to the emails from then? Is there a limit on how long emails are saved?

  8. Email search shows a few recent items and then hangs forever

    Every time I do a search, whether it is in an individual folder or globally, it shows a few recent emails, or maybe just one, and then hangs forever; I don't mean just a delay, I mean HOURS later the little thing is still spinning. Please fix this so that it is possible to search through ALL emails!

  9. Remove Calendar Reminders from Yahoo Mail "sent' mailbox

    Hi I am hoping you can undo or make optional the recent change that puts my calendar events into my sent email box. I like a very clean sent email box and this prevents that. Sending calendar events to one's inbox is optional. -- and I do like to do that for reminders. But could you please stop putting them in the sent box or make it optional? Thank you!

  10. Recipients

    When sending an email the address goes after "To". Now all the sudden after I enter the email address in "To", "to" changes to the word "recipient". Is this just to confuse us or is there some actual reasoning behind it?

  12. highlighted emails

    When opening an email and going back to what you read, it is not highlighted, can you please highlight those incase you want too delete them out. It also took me a long time just to get to this point, why can I no longer just email Yahoo with a question instead of navigating through everything?

  13. As I'm clearing emails, page scrolls up automatically.

    I usually select a bunch of emails, DESELECT & STAR the ones I keep and press delete.

    NOW...EVERY time I deselect one, the list scrolls up so I have to scroll back down EVERY time to deselect the next one.

    It's making an already tiresome task EVEN MORE PROBLEMATIC!

    What did you guys change to make this happen? CHANGE IT BACK!

  14. Repeat events every 4 weeks

    I didn't see this to vote on it. So... I love Yahoo calendar. But I have events that repeat every 4 weeks, not monthly. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could make it possible to repeat an event every 4 weeks. It's kind of a hassle to have to do it manually LOL

  15. Unable to connect other cloud services like google drive or one drive

    Even though 1 TB of storage is provided, it seems useless when there is no cloud storage. i have an gmail account with 15+ years of emails & google drive files which is almost 12 GB, and i have hardly cleared my mailbox 2 or 3 times.

    so, imagine how long it could take to fill my 1 TB of yahoo mail just with emails without any drive files or larger attachments.

    atleast reverting the option of google drive and onedrive as attachment would help.

  16. The enter button stops working in email drafts.

    I'll be typing along... then typing just stops working. This happens most often with the enter button but can happen with any text. I have to copy what I've already typed, then refresh the page. Sometimes what I already typed is still there, sometimes it's not.
    Please fix this.

  17. Important emails aren't sending. They keep kicking back, from multiple recipients.

    I've been getting Mailer Daemons / Undeliverable emails since Monday. But only when I send them to the people they need to go to. When I test them by sending to one of our other email addresses they send fine.

  18. Better Spam filters

    Spam used to filter out so much more than it does now. Many addresses are just an alphabet soup. Why is it so difficult to detect and filter these out. Also, many spam have the same phishing messages about winning a prize or a subscription expiring. There has to be a way to stop this.

  19. I just had to switch from Cox to Yahoo. I'm paying for my email service...why is there an ad at the top of my inbox?

    Remove the ad from the top of my inbox. If this were a free service I would gladly overlook that but I'm paying for this and should not be forced to work around an ad.
