How can we improve New Mail?

← New Mail

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.

    When I click on contacts (right hand side of screen) it only allows me to look at existing contacts, it will not let me add a new one!!! So come on, how the heck do I do that?

    Please tell me why my Contact lists are diminishing every time I restart my entrance to yahoo.mail.

    for example: I have a list of 30 people. I want to invite them for my birthday party and went i pick the cell : all (from the specified list) only the 30% is picked. When i examine the names 60% are gone. What can I do to solve this problem?

    Currently, I am having to delete a person who died from one of my mailing lists every time I send an email. I also mis-spelt someone's name and although I have corrected that, it still comes up with the wrong spelling when you hover over their name. This is frustrating to me and potentially upsetting to others

  • Frank Horiuchi commented  ·   ·  Report

    The TO: Button is useless now as it only pulls up partial lists. The Lists are all screwed up there as well as under the contact icon with missing entries, etc. and there is no way to get help NO forum, no Chat, no way to speak or send email at all. They want you to pay monthly for support!!!! If it were a good product I would think of a one shot subscription to fix the issues but I think they created the problems with new mail just to get us to pay. No Thank-you. I have no confidence in Yahoo Mail anymore. Yahoo is now a cumbersome obsolete mail product. Too bad they were so good with classic.....

    First of all, why should I have to pay a subscription for support for a problem that is obviously a programming flaw of your own making? Do you do this intentionally?

    So here's the issue. I have organized my contacts into lists. Occasionally those contacts need to be deleted or edited. When I make those changes, they are not reflected in the mailing list. This means I am sending out pointless messages to obsolete e-dresses.

    I should mention that I have been a Yahoo user for about 30 years and generally consider your service superior to Outlook or any other email server. Your calendar is also superior to anything else because it allows me schedule reminders a week and a day ahead of the event.

    Up to now, I have been a proud and loyal user.

    For, for God's sake, every time you "improve" or "upgrade" your service, it sends me into a frustrating cycle to compensate for your programming flaws.

    Why can't you just leave it alone?

    Sign in with a provider? WTF? You are my provider. What kind of passive-aggressive harassment is this?

    I must agree that contacts is getting worse and worse. It is less functional and less utilitarian with every update you guys do.
    Give Contact its own full page like it used to be years ago.
    It is so bad that I think the Contacts page unit is intentionally trying to make us switch to MSN or Google.
    All the other comments that are said below that mention how bad Contacts section is I agree with and then some.
    Stop screwing up it up and force me to switch to Google or MSN!

    It is getting worse and worse.
    All Oath wants is to sell one's data to advertisers.
    I make sure I don't buy from the advertisers appearing on my Yahoo mail home page.
    Shame on Yahoo for debauching their privilege of serving their customers

  • William Vasilij Schlusser commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yahoo is the worst web site when searching for contacts and wanting to edit them. I can't reach this site! Never!
    This owner Oath should give up on its rapacious chase of profit via videoa nd photos.

    How can I delete some addresses on my contacts list? This is basic and yet this function is not available.

  • Hooi Lie ong commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would like to ask how to assign a contact to a group ? I could not find the option to "assign group"

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    My lists used to work better. Now I have people disappearing from my lists. When I view the list, I see addresses and phone numbers rather than email addresses. I cannot figure out how to put my list of lists in order starting with A. Why do things get WORSE instead of BETTER??

  • Rebecca Strahan commented  ·   ·  Report

    Seriously! What has happened to the easy feature that allows for adding or deleting contacts on lists. I have used the new contact address book, deleted a client from a list and now that client has been permanently removed from my ALL contacts list. I don't have time for this nonsense!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Contacts getting all mixed up. Others' names and phone numbers and addresses showing up where they shouldn't. Kill autocontact!!

  • Marian Dumitrescu commented  ·   ·  Report

    I can export Contacts (CSV) but I can't import CSV.
    Plus, everybody complain about new changes in contacts and you do nothing.??????

  • christine commented  ·   ·  Report

    I made a list of about 50 contacts, all ONE BY ONE which is a pain, how come there isn't an easier way to make a contact list?
    Well, after finally getting the list together, one day I go to send a message to them and ... the list is gone. I have "no lists". Needless to say I'm pretty frustrated. This makes it pretty tough for me to do what I need to do, and so far it seems like the only solution is for me to re-make this list, one by one, again. Are you kidding me?

    Contacts doesn't display when icon selected.

  • S E A commented  ·   ·  Report

    It seems to be impossible to update a contact's email address. A friend writes to you telling you to delete the old address and use the new one: why can't you save the new address?!

  • Phaedra Darwish commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would like to be able to open a contact and see what lists I currently have them in
