  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??

  6. 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????

  7. Outlook mailbox cannot be added after successful Microsoft OAuth

    Yahoo Mail fails to connect one specific Outlook mailbox after successful Microsoft OAuth authorization.

    The Outlook mailbox was previously connected to Yahoo Mail and worked normally. Later, Yahoo Mail showed an "Error" status for this mailbox. After removing it from Yahoo Mail, I can no longer add it back.

    Microsoft OAuth authorization completes successfully. Microsoft confirms that Yahoo has been granted access. Immediately after authorization, the Yahoo callback window appears briefly and closes, then Yahoo shows: "Canceled connecting [Outlook address] to your Yahoo account."

    This issue reproduces across desktop and mobile, and also with a different Yahoo Mail account. Another…

  10. Unable to connect Outlook account to Yahoo Mail

    I am unable to connect an Outlook.com mailbox to Yahoo Mail through Settings → Mailboxes → Add mailbox → Outlook.com.

    The Microsoft sign-in process starts, but the connection does not complete and Yahoo returns: “Cancelled connecting Outlook account to your Yahoo account.”

    I have reproduced the issue in Chrome, Edge, and on mobile. Pop-ups and third-party cookies were allowed, and direct sign-in to the Outlook account works normally.

    Microsoft also displayed: “server_error: The contextID supplied in the request did not have a matching cookie.”

    Please investigate the Outlook mailbox connection/authentication process.

  12. Test new update before releasing it

    Who Reviewed Y!mail+ before releasing it?
    Basic features that worked before didn't get reviewed that they were still working.

    Why can't Advanced Search select a folder to search?

    Why add the STARRED Window to the right of the email area?
    When I select the line between them, why do I have to do it again, next time I open mail.

    Are they going to fix Advanced Search?

    Thanks,

  14. Show ALL events of each day even when in month view.

    Once again, you've removed something good.
    In the month view, it used to make the days larger to accomodate the display of more if not all events. Now I get only 2 or 3. I often have many more. Sometimes I miss seeing them because they are listed as "...more"

    I don't care if the weeks of the month scroll down past the bottom of the screen. I want the week I'm looking at to have its days fully expanded.

  15. Not everything should be a subscription. Issues with unsubscribing from email threads.

    First, Love the subscription tab so easy to see everything I'm receiving e-mails from! however, I've been trying to go through and delete the ones I no longer want to see and I can get through about 3 of them before they start popping back up under the subscription list and I have to unsubscribe again. When I click unsubscribe and confirm my choice I want it to stay under unsubscribed.

  16. 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.

  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?
