Contacts hard to find, edit, alter, and delete
Since the new changes it has become much more difficult to search and edit or delete a single contact. It would be very helpful if a dropdown menu were available to search by several choices such as ending email address or last name or company. partial name, with the ability to select the item and go to edit.

The contact section under the new and now the old format are horrible. Can't add a new list, can't move contacts to a list. This is horrible! Please correct or I will need to switch to Outlook or gmail.

We have seven lists of names and the recent changes to Yahoo have really created problems. They are not updated in real-time for changes, the number of names on the various lists changes from one mailing to the other for no reason. When you search for a name under "All" you should be able to see what list they're attached to. Please correct.

The tiny little box for adding contacts does not work. No way to add to groups.

what in the world did you do to Contacts? It's unusable. I can't find a lot of them and almost none allow me to Edit. And it was so much easier when it opened up big. Now it's a tiny panel that's hard to edit when it does allow me to (rarely). What were you thinking?????

I agree. I have contacts I want to delete and can't.

I don't understand how Yahoo can ***** up the Contacts. I want to delete a contact from one of my group lists and I can't open up the contact list in the new email. Who ever does testing on the email product needs to go back and learn how to test. THIS shouldn't be happening.

I just tried to use the new contacts format liked the way my contacts were on a sidebar rather than a new tab. No Help screen readily available and I couldn't edit existing contacts and my groups weren't all listed. Seems when Yahoo email is "updated" with "improvements", it becomes harder to use....do I need to change to gmail???

I can no longer specify "Joe's cell" vs "Susan's cell," etc. There's also no option to label whose email is whose. I like to keep family info together and therefore, want all phones and emails for "the Joneses" together in one contact list, but need to label which is which. I don't want a different listing for each phone number or email, especially now that you insist on alphabetizing by first name. Family listings are split up all over the place.

Please bring back the lists someone was assigned to in their individual Contacts entry. It is so frustrating not to be able to see at a glance what groups they are in or to be able to assign them to one from their contact entry. This is seriously inconvenient for the sort of work I do. And a full page view of each contact too, not that small column tucked away at the side. Am getting very fed up!!

The new contact list is dreadful. Simply dreadful. Can't find additional information, contacts are added automatically without any input from me. Duplicates are all over the place. Lists are difficult to manage. Can't bulk delete contacts, have to do it one at a time just to get rid of the garbage that has been added..
What on earth is going on?? -

Several of my "Contacts" (like, as just one example, old craigslist replies) will not allow me to delete (or even edit) them. (I went back to "Basic" Yahoo and deleted them successfully there--but they still show up when I returned to the new Yahoo.) This is nuts! How can I delete these individual contacts?

I agree 100% with this category. I regularly NEED TO EDIT contact information to stay current. There are NO INSTRUCTIONS that I could discover to edit various records with new or changing information. Frustrating!!! The ONLY THING I could find was how to delete a contact from a particular folder. I don't like "change for the sake of change," and NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE OLD FORMAT, which was a full page for contact information. Someone should maybe lose their job or take a cut in pay for lack of foresight and planning!

The instructions for editing an existing contact don't function. For this line: "Click the More options icon Image of the More icon. | Edit contact." After I click the contact's name, THE MORE OPTIONS ICON DOES NOT APPEAR. It simply isn't there. I'm on Safari 12.1.2, fairly standard settings.

I would say hard is being very generous. It is impossible to use the contact page now. New mail is a total POS !

My Yahoo contacts are not syncing to my phone anymore. When I look at one of my contact lists, it doesn't list them alphabetically, it has duplicate entries (separate entries for email addresses, phone number, address, etc) I don't want duplicate entries, I want 1 person to be listed once and I want to see a total of how many are in that list. I have some contacts that don't have an edit option, only a delete option. I deleted one to start fresh and now it keeps deleting the new entry as well. I don't like the small screen to work from to add or edit a contact. Yahoo, you have many issues to fix!!!

The old way of managing contacts - ie adding them, deleting them or amending them was excellent. You could then assign them to lists as required and once in a list you could managed the list very easily - amending, deleting or adding to them. Please fix this asap and the current process is IMPOSSIBLE.

When I "edit" a contact and look at their details, I can no longer tell what list I have them on from there. I would like to be able to see what list I have them on in their individual details instead of having to find out from the Lists menu.
