Autofill stopped working

The autofill in my yahoo mail has stopped working without warning. It has happened before. How do I right it please? There seems to be no option for this on your help pages. Many thanks.

    Hello! In my phone yahoo mail, it automatically finds the e-mail address as I type in the "To:" section. In the computer based yahoo mail, unfortunately it is much more laborious and you must find the e-mail in the contacts or go from memory. It would be great if computer based yahoo mail worked more like the mobile app (and gmail) and identified the mail by typing.

    I returned to basic, and still my contacts wont load with 2 letters typed.
    This is terrible!!!!!
    How do i fix this issue?.

    All of a sudden in my contacts are not populating as I type in the addresses. There are literally TENS of folks I email on a regular basis and, just as nobody "knows" anybody's phone numbers anymore because they simply Populate on our phones, the same is true with email.....I can't even tell you how much time I am wasting looking up emails on my phone while I am trying to write on my computer.
    What has caused this glitch???? PLEASE fix it and bring back the algorithm that recognizes email addresses as I begin to type them.

    Since auto-fill email stopped working and I can't get support on this, now I'm considering canceling Yahoo mail and switch to Gmail.. any thoughts?

    I have to copy and paste email addresses from my contact. Where can I get help?

    Yahoo email no longer auto fills any recent new contacts even though I have "Enhance Contacts" enabled. Please fix this or give an easier way to bulk delete contacts.

    Yahoo Mail does not autofill contacts when composing an Email. I'm sure it used, anyone know why?

    Why has auto fill email addresses stopped working for some but still working for others?

  • James Birke commented  ·   ·  Report

    What genius decided to remove the contacts auto fill feature From Yahoo mail? This was a very convenient way to populate the to, cc, and bcc fields when forwarding a message to multiple contacts. Needless to say, I am extremely disappointed with Yahoo. Rest assured , that, if this feature is not quickly restored, I will cancel my subscription to Yahoo plus and attempt to find a different mail provider. I've been using Yahoo mail for 15 years and would recommend it to my friends and associates. Not anymore!

    Sincerely. **

    Yesterday I added a contact. Now when composing a message I can't find this name for recipient. I can put the name by typing it in, but I can't find it listed when I click on "To." I added the name to a list, but it doesn't show on the list when clicking on "To." Also, names that were deleted from lists still show up when clicking on "To."

    After adding contact, that contact doesn't appear when trying to send email to that contact. Now, I also can't just type in the full email address of someone not on pre-existing contact list, to send a new email to. What do I need you for? I as told engineers would fix this. It's been too long. Should have been working BEFORE forcing everyone to change version. Then told to contact support would cost me a monthly fee?!!!

    Now it won't load my contacts like before when I was entering a contact on an e-mail. Really? What genius thought this change up? I relied on this for a long time for work. Now what? I'll have to switch to another so I "can" simply write e-mails. Thanks for nothing yahoo.

    When adding an address to an email your auto suggest feature suggests too many addresses with no way of deleting them.

    What the **** did you people do? I don't know where to begin. Attachments aren't being received, bcc/cc is stupidly cumbersome all of a sudden, my contacts are auto generating (and don't you dare ask me about f-ing settings), ... this is a cluster F.
    I'm leaving yahoo for gmail if you don't fix this

    My contacts are not appearing when i type them into the compose bar. Yet they are in my contact folders and have been working fine for ages.

  • William Zarrett commented  ·   ·  Report

    I now have to search my contacts for each email since it no longer remembers contacts that I have used in addressing past emails.

    This version really is causing lots of people trouble. Are you trying to get rid of us?
