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??

3. Additional storage options need to be improved ASAP.

   Getting additional space on Yahoo needs to be improved.

   Current options are :
   Free: 15 GB || £1.99/ mo: 100 GB || £9.99/ mo: 1 TB

   Can Yahoo come up with something like 50GB and amount payable quarterly/half-yearly/yearly?

   Why does it have to be monthly ONLY????

4. More set up options, line spacing, font, etc.

   Could you please add in "line spacing" between emails. There is too much space between the emails and the older version setup was much better. In all honesty, this format is not good...
   Thanks for getting that fixed :-)

7. Representation for Introducing an Optional Email Read-Receipt Feature in Yahoo Mail To: The Yahoo Mail Product Development Team Subject:

   Representation for Introducing an Optional Email Read-Receipt Feature in Yahoo Mail

   To: The Yahoo Mail Product Development Team
   Subject: Request for Introduction of an Optional, Privacy-Respecting Email Read-Receipt Feature in Yahoo Mail

   Dear Yahoo Mail Team,

   I am writing to submit a formal representation requesting the introduction of an optional email read-receipt feature in Yahoo Mail, enabling senders to know whether their emails have been opened or read by the intended recipients, subject to appropriate privacy safeguards and recipient consent.

   Yahoo Mail is widely used for personal, educational, professional and official correspondence. However, one limitation that users may encounter is the inability to reliably determine whether an important email has actually been read by its recipient. Although email communication is one of the most widely used forms of digital communication, the absence of a convenient and reliable read-status indicator can create uncertainty and difficulties in following up on important messages.

   1. The Problem: Lack of Visibility into Email Read Status

   When a user sends an important email, the sender may be able to establish that the message was sent successfully, but this does not necessarily indicate whether it reached the recipient's inbox, whether the recipient opened it, or whether the recipient read its contents.

   For example, consider the following situations:

   • Official correspondence: A person submits a representation, application or grievance to a government department and wishes to know whether the concerned recipient has opened the email.
   • Professional communication: An employee sends an important document to a colleague, supervisor or client but cannot determine whether the recipient has seen it.
   • Educational purposes: A student sends an assignment, admission-related query or scholarship document and needs to determine whether the recipient has reviewed it.
   • Time-sensitive communication: A sender shares an urgent request or deadline-related information but has no reliable indication of whether the recipient has accessed it.
   • Follow-up management: A sender may send repeated reminders unnecessarily because they cannot distinguish an unopened email from one that has already been viewed.

   Consequently, senders may experience uncertainty, delayed follow-ups, unnecessary duplication of messages and difficulties in managing their correspondence effectively.

   1. Proposed Solution: An Optional Read-Receipt Feature

   I request Yahoo Mail to consider introducing a built-in read-receipt feature similar in purpose to the read-status indicators available in instant-messaging applications such as WhatsApp.

   Under the proposed system, senders could select an option such as "Request Read Receipt" while composing an email. If the recipient opens the message, the sender could receive a notification or see a status indicator reflecting that the message has been opened, subject to the recipient's privacy settings and consent.

   The feature could provide the following status indicators:

   1. Sent: The email has been submitted successfully for sending.
   2. Delivered, where verifiable: The message has reached the recipient's mail server or mailbox, to the extent that the system can reliably establish this.
   3. Opened: The recipient's email application has detected that the message was opened.
   4. Read receipt confirmed: The recipient's email application has provided an explicit read acknowledgement.
   5. Receipt unavailable: The recipient has declined the request, the email application does not support the feature, or the system cannot reliably determine the status.

   These indicators should be clearly distinguished so that users do not mistake successful sending or delivery for proof that the recipient has actually read the message.

   1. Recommended Features and Functionalities

   I respectfully suggest that Yahoo Mail consider the following design elements:

   A. Read receipts for individual emails

   The sender should be able to request a read receipt for a particular email without enabling tracking for every message. This would make the feature useful for important correspondence while avoiding unnecessary monitoring of routine communications.

   B. Recipient consent and privacy controls

   The recipient should retain control over whether to acknowledge that an email has been opened. Yahoo Mail could provide a clear prompt, such as "The sender has requested a read receipt. Send acknowledgement?"

   Users should also be able to configure their preferences, including whether to respond automatically, approve each request individually or decline read receipts altogether.

   C. Clear and accessible status indicators

   Yahoo Mail could display a simple status next to the sent email, showing whether a read acknowledgement has been received. Where no acknowledgement is available, the system should display an appropriate neutral status rather than implying that the recipient has not read the message.

   D. Date and time of acknowledgement

   Where the recipient explicitly confirms the receipt, the sender could be shown the date and time of that acknowledgement. This would be especially useful for managing deadlines and follow-ups.

   E. Compatibility across email platforms

   The feature should ideally be designed to work across different email services and applications, including Gmail, Outlook and other email clients, wherever technically feasible and supported by the recipient's settings.

   Even if universal compatibility is not immediately possible, Yahoo Mail could introduce the feature initially for supported Yahoo Mail users and progressively expand interoperability.

   F. Privacy, security and data minimisation

   The feature should not disclose unnecessary information about a recipient's activity, location, device or online behaviour. Read-status information should be limited to what is necessary for acknowledging the email, protected against unauthorised access and retained only in accordance with an appropriate privacy policy.

   1. Why This Feature Would Be Valuable

   Introducing an optional read-receipt facility could provide several benefits:

   Improved communication efficiency: Senders could make better-informed decisions about when to follow up, reducing unnecessary reminders and duplicate emails.

   Better professional correspondence: Employees, businesses, students and other users could manage important communications more effectively.

   Greater accountability: In situations where timely acknowledgement matters, a confirmed receipt could help establish that the recipient's email application acknowledged the message.

   Enhanced user experience: A simple, familiar read-status feature could make email communication more convenient, particularly for users accustomed to the read indicators offered by messaging applications.

   Greater user choice: By keeping the feature optional and consent-based, Yahoo Mail could offer additional functionality without imposing a tracking mechanism on users who prefer greater privacy.

   1. Addressing Potential Technical and Privacy Challenges

   I recognise that email differs fundamentally from instant-messaging applications. Emails can be accessed through different applications, forwarded to other accounts, downloaded to devices or read while offline. Image blocking, privacy protections and other technical limitations may also prevent an email service from accurately detecting whether a message has been read.

   Furthermore, opening an email does not necessarily mean that the recipient has read or understood its contents.

   Accordingly, I am not suggesting that Yahoo Mail guarantee that every opened email can be tracked with absolute accuracy. Rather, I propose a transparent, technically feasible and consent-based acknowledgement system that clearly communicates the limitations of the information provided.

   The objective should be to give users a reliable indication when an acknowledgement is available, without creating a false impression of certainty or compromising the recipient's privacy.

   1. Suggested Implementation Approach

   Yahoo Mail could consider implementing this functionality in phases:

   • Phase I: Introduce an optional read-receipt request for supported Yahoo Mail accounts.
   • Phase II: Provide recipient-side consent settings and clear sender-side acknowledgement indicators.
   • Phase III: Explore interoperability with other email services through appropriate standards or mutually supported mechanisms.
   • Phase IV: Collect user feedback, assess privacy implications and improve the feature based on actual usage.

   A pilot programme could help Yahoo Mail assess technical feasibility, user demand, privacy concerns and the effectiveness of the proposed functionality before wider deployment.

   1. Specific Request

   In view of the above, I respectfully request Yahoo Mail to:

   1. Consider introducing a built-in, optional read-receipt feature.
   2. Allow senders to request acknowledgement for individual emails.
   3. Provide recipients with clear controls to accept, decline or manage read-receipt requests.
   4. Display transparent and technically accurate email-status indicators.
   5. Explore compatibility with other major email services wherever feasible.
   6. Ensure that the feature complies with applicable privacy and data-protection requirements.
   7. Consider publishing an update or providing feedback on whether this functionality may be explored in future product development.

   I believe that such an enhancement would address a genuine communication need while preserving the fundamental privacy and choice of both senders and recipients.

   I appreciate Yahoo's continued efforts to improve the usability, security and reliability of its email service. I hope this suggestion will receive due consideration as part of Yahoo Mail's future product-development roadmap.

   Thank you for your time and consideration.

   Yours sincerely,

   A Yahoo Mail User

11. Block Sender option in Spam Folder

    Yahoo recently removed the "Block Sender" option in the spam folder. The only way to block senders is by manually typing each email address under Settings -> Security and Privacy, which is very time-consuming. Could Yahoo bring back the "Block Sender" option in the spam folder? Thank you!

12. 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.

14. 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?
