  1. Ads take too much room on reading pane

    I don't mind the ads on the side but the ads along the bottom take up to much room, make them smaller or better yet get rid of them.

  2. Don't get rid of notepad!

    Just got the update that Yahoo is getting rid of Notepad!! Why?? This is ludicrous! First you get rid of email theme for emailing and now you're getting rid of my most used feature!!
    I have a business that runs YAHOO and this is a very useful tool in one place.
    Why are you doing this??

  5. Stop Showing Ads in Yahoo Mail+

    When I signed up for Mail+, one of the key benefits was an ad-free experience across Yahoo. Since then, that benefit has disappeared, and they've even reduced the amount of inbox storage available. Yet I'm still paying for the "no ads" promise.

    So imagine my surprise when I opened my inbox and was greeted by a massive promotion for 50% off the first year of Monarch—presented as a special "perk" for Mail+ users. But let's be honest: it's an ad. And not a subtle one, either. It's huge.

  7. Ads

    I understand the email I have is the free service, but the constant ads in motion are annoying, distracting, and extremely obnoxious.

  8. More Sorting Capabilities

    It would make sense to select "Unread" emails, then Sort by Sender. Also, I mentioned several times over the years that you should also be able to sort Sent items by To/Recipient.

  11. STOP YOUR GREEDY CASH GRAB AND BRING BACK 1TB EMAIL STORAGE

    STOP IT WITH THE GREEDY CASH CRAB. JUST STOP IT.

    Many of your customers have had a Yahoo email address for decades, for life, and our emails contain an archive of our lives and correspondence. We've had over a decade of access to '1TB' and most people don't use that much, so why are you forcibly reducing it to a pitiful 15GB? While most people might not use 1TB, we certainly do use more than 15 accumulated over decades of use, and suddenly you want us to erase our lives almost overnight?

    You already implemented ads. Now you are charging…

  13. How do you make drastic changes to allowed used space without giving long standing users tools to manage it

    With your decision to put a small quota on allowable used space and if you're going to make close to 30 year old accounts reduce their usage you could at least provide half decent tools to allow us to easily delete email sin bulk

  14. Make it work again

    The new Yahoo Mail on Safari is terrible. The scrolling of the messages is not smooth. I can't access the unread button, which is now buried under the three dots. The colors are too bright and not customizable as they used to be. The whole experience was downgraded. And instead of fixing it, you are adding gamification features. Makes no sense at all.

  15. Keep Notepad! Or at least keep it available and/or make it easy to download docs in usable form.

    I'm wondering if there is a way that I can download my Notepad files and use them without having to manually rename them all? It seems like it would be good customer service on Yahoo's part to make this possible;).

    Also, truthfully I'm just a bit unsure why Notepad disappeared within days of the email notification despite the email saying Jan 15, 2027 . From the email "The Yahoo Notepad feature will be discontinued on 15 Jan 2027. Until then, you can continue accessing and downloading your notes." The Notepad has disappeared from my email page. It would be great…

  16. NOTEPAD retiring - DOWNLOAD files format improvement PLEASE

    I have been using notepad religiously for YEARS and not that happy it's being taken away.
    So, I used the 'download' option being offered, and the notes that were downloaded are in a TERRIBLE format. Instead of spacing, there is all this <div> pasted ALL OVER and basically UNREADABLE.
    I have HUNDREDS of these files. is there a better downloaded format you can offer?

  17. calendar messages

    It appears messages received from the calendar are messed up. The body of the email will show for about 2 seconds then disappear. Crazy but that is the only email it does that to. If I forward the calendar message to another yahoo email account it does the same thing. If I forward to a hotmail account it is there. Also, the body disappears during the forward. I am using the current email under yahoo.

  19. Outlook accounts not connecting in Yahoo Mail

    I'm unable to connect any Outlook.com accounts using Settings → More Settings → Mailboxes → Add mailbox → Outlook.

    The Microsoft OAuth flow completes successfully:

    I sign in successfully.
    I receive the Microsoft permission (consent) screen.
    I click Accept.
    The popup closes.
    Yahoo immediately displays: "Canceled connecting [email] to your Yahoo account."

    I've reproduced this with:

    Multiple Outlook.com accounts
    Multiple Yahoo accounts
    Chrome, Chrome Incognito, and Safari
    IMAP enabled in Outlook
    Yahoo permissions removed and re-authorized

    Can you check the server logs for the Outlook mailbox connector or OAuth callback to determine why Yahoo is rejecting the connection?
