  1. Conversations have an option for most recent email on top

    It looks like this was an idea years ago and was supposedly fixed. There isn't an option to see the most recent email on top anymore. It's very difficult to find the part of the email that you are supposed to type in because it's at the bottom a string of emails. Please fix this!

  2. Spam getting through regularly

    Over the past couple of months, obvious spam has been getting through your filters on this account, sometimes two or three a day. Before that, it was rare. This is an account I rarely use, so the question is how do spammers know about it??

  4. contact

    Give me the option to default the contact list to Last name first. Don't auto default to First name and then have me change it each and every time.

  5. Misleading ads...

    While it's only irritating to me (because I'm tech savvy), it could be genuinely concerning to others...

    But having an ad that says "Virus detected!" is EXTREMELY misleading, because it implies a virus WAS detected and they need to download the software that they're advertising. Regardless of WHO it is, they need to reword their ad, so that it's honest, not panic-inducing. Something like "Stop Viruses before they affect you!"

    This kind of (current) panic-inducing advertising is only going to insure I NEVER buy or use their software. If they're going to LIE to me about something, to try and…

  6. not spam

    I mark emails daily from the same senders and yahoo still keeps putting them in my spam folder every day, most worthless feature/function you have. No ability to designated specific emails as not span or "safe". gmail is a far better service, but I am forced to use yahoo because cox no longer supports email. by the number of comments concerning this issue it is obvious you've done NOTHING to correct the issue, explains the decline of yahoo since the 90's and 00's.

    This issue might happen due to the senders' IP reputation or email content such as pictures/links. The more often you mark these emails as Not Spam, the more you train your personal mail filter to recognize them as legit.

  7. Stop pushing the Kamala Harris fund raising on me or anything about her for that matter.

    I keep getting a donate to Kamala Harris banner in my email. Just because Yahoo backs her does not mean I do. Please stop!!!

  9. Unlimited block option

    I realize that this is a place to voice ideas or concerns. But My thing is do y'all ever read these and highly consider our suggestions? What's the use of having this feature if you never use it? I would seriously like to be able to block every unwanted spam email that comes to my inbox. It's so dang annoying. And just as everything else you have to be able to keep up with the signs of the time. They are coming at us 24/7 365 days and it's hard to keep up with. So please just make it an…

  10. sign in failure

    I have now successfully signed into my email account 6 times and it refuses to sync. Yahoo absolutely sucks. Need to spend a day just setting up new account and leaving Yahoo all together. But now I understand the name. The employees at Yahoo are a bunch of literal yahoos.

  11. The font is too small to read.

    Make the fonts larger again. Some of us can't read the tiny print you are now forcing us to try to read. It is time for me to close my yahoo accounts and go to another forum? I have been here for ages.

  12. sort

    Provide a sort option for all columns, ascending and descending. What a screwed-up mail app with only a date sort option! I am 82 years old and even I know when data needs a sort option; especially when trying to delete unwanted emails or trying to find specific ones.

  14. ChatGPT gives better support to yahoo mail, than yahoo mail does. Why not add an AI chat to your site for support?

    ChatGPT gives better support to yahoo mail, than yahoo does. Why not add an AI chat to your site for support? And if not possible to help, then direct it to a manual support team, and use the answers to train the AI.

  15. message display to small

    display of my messages displays other Yahoo contacts, calendar, and notpad on right side and I do not know how to remove that display. This reduces the room to display messages.

  16. Firstly I've followed your "contact us" route but theres no one to contact!! Why doesn't my e-mail appear in order of date they were sent?

    I can't seem to contact anyone one here but my e-mails don't appear in the order they were sent it's driving me nuts and I can't keep track of stuff anymore. I wish I'd stayed on the old yahoo. It was straight forward and simple. What can I do. I am loosing track of e mails daily with this set up?

    It is a pain to go back with the compressed responses. Very hard to follow and find what one needs to see. It's useless, time consuming and NOT HELPFUL at all when one is trying to work and find the correct information. PLEASE go back to the old format.
