  2. E-MAIL FONT SIZE IS TOO SMALL

    I have searched for my topic and noticed that others have asked the same question, with no real solution offered by Yahoo. The question is, why is the font in the e-mail so itty, bitty, teeny, weeny? It is extremely difficult to read the e-mail. I am not speaking of the e-mail body, but the "IN BOX" font. No...trying to enlarge the font does not work. THE IN BOX FONT IS TOOOOOOO SMALL! PLEASE MAKE THE LARGER SO I DON'T HAVE TO USE A MAGNIFYING GLASS, OR CUT AND PAST EVERYTHING INTO A WORD DOCUMENT IN ORDER TO MAKE THE…

  4. An icon on which to save an email without waiting

    It would be preferable to have an icon to save an email instead of waiting for Yahoo to save it first, especially when there is a need to go to another site.

  5. search emails alphabetically

    Why can't I search alphabetically my emails? that way I can scroll and read emails only by Home depot, or amazon, etc....or delete all emails by that sender.
    AT@T lets you do that, its so convenient to delete unnecessary emails all at once.

  6. Advanced searches for phrases

    It used to be possible to do an advanced search for phrases by putting quotes (inverted commas in British English) around the phrase. Now it searches for each individual word in that quoted phrase separately, making the search results useless. This applies to both paid an free accounts. Please restore this functionality so I can actually find things I'm looking for.

  7. "To:" searches should work similar to "From:" searches. THEY DON'T. For example...

    The "To:" search is broken. It should work very much like the "From:" search, but it doesn't. For example:

    Let's say I have been emailing, Back AND Forth, with JoeSmith@corboy.com.

    If I search for "From:corboy", the results DO correctly show some of the emails.

    If I search for "To:corboy", the results are Incorrectly empty.

    If that isn't and error, then it is certainly a weakness.

    I am a Yahoo Mail+ subscriber, so I am also surprised that your email searches don't allow the use of wildcard symbols.

  9. option to remove search history and top contacts

    I would really like an option to remove search history and top contacts from the search bar. I can remove the search history through some horrible one by one process, but when I reload the page they simply are there again. The top contacts can't be removed or edited at all. I think this is a privacy. Please let me permanently remove these entries.

  10. Filter Actions - Move and Mark as Read

    I couldn't vote on the one already created, but additional actions for filters would be amazing. Things that are recuring emails that we don't need to read every time but want them for reference should be moved and marked as read via filter settings.

    Also feels like a very simple thing, and if this (along with other additional filter options) were part of the yahoo+ I would highly consider purchasing.

    Really don't want to move away from yahoo email, but I am starting to consider due to how limited this functionality is.

  11. DID NOT FIND ANY CATEGORY COVERING SCHEDULED OUTBOUND EMAILS

    I Schedule drafts to be sent out and a lot of times I will need to make changes to them after it is scheduled I go to the draft folder on my iPhone. I select the one that is scheduled, and a window pops up saying "Are you sure you want to cancel scheduling?" with 2 options "Go Back" or "Confirm". I select confirm of the only two options available and it goes back to draft mode, no longer scheduled. I go into this draft, make my necessary changes, and re-schedule as the same date/time as the one I just…

  12. It would be helpful if I could select all mail from a sender and hit delete, but any starred ones would not delete.

    It would be helpful if I could select all mail from a sender and hit delete, but any starred ones would not delete. So that all mail from Staples ( example )would be deleted, except for my receipts or orders that I starred as they came in. That would save Yahoo space as well.

    IE important mail would need to be unstarred to delete it.

  13. new mail sucks try going back to the original format/layout the new one is difficult to access my mail. I will be dropping yahoo

    You need to go back to the old format/layout for Yahoo mail. The new format is confusing and it is difficult to access my mail. I will be dropping Yahoo and will be using Gmail for everything from now on,

  14. when you first click on Unread mail on the left then yahoo sort mail need to add alphabetical order & sorting by sender

    when you click on Unread emails on the left and the yahoo sort mail tab it needs to have to sort by sender, alphabetical order with ascending & descending, date: newest on top, date: oldest on top, starred, subject attachements. Also when you click on inbox the sort tab on the right it does not have sort in alphabetical order with ascending & descending.
    also there is no automatic way to sort mail into separate file folders automatically which will help sort out spam and other emails properly.

    Also I noticed a sections under the email that says unsubscribe which…

    For the past week - since you changed something- the language keeps changing to a different language - it's really upsetting and uncomfortable.

    What is this new dial with an arrow in my mail? It obscures text in the message and is annoying. How do I remove it?

  19. 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?

  20. Get rid of the recipient in the address box because it takes longer than just placing the name and autofill at thatand go back to original.

    Stay with old address box with "To" rather than "recipient". The old way was much faster than going through all my contacts to find someone
