  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. Fix poor performance

    Loading Yahoo Mail drags the performance of browser down almost immediately. Everything becomes slow and unusable. I frequently had to close and reopen it. I just to create a custom, sandboxed chrome shortcut so it only drags itself down and not all of my open tabs.

  6. Please bring back the magnifying glass search shortcut for old emails

    I am writing to request that Yahoo Mail brings back the individual magnifying glass search icon next to emails/senders.
    The current layout makes it difficult to quickly surface and look through older emails that have not been deleted. Previously, clicking the magnifying glass next to a specific sender or within a folder allowed for an instant, seamless historical search. Removing this shortcut has added extra steps and friction to navigating my inbox.
    Please consider restoring this highly useful feature for users who manage large, long-term email archives. Thank you for listening to user feedback.

  8. Email sent to myself are NOT sent to my Inbox!

    This new email is unbelievably frustrating, but today I'm just realizing that email that I send to myself is NOT being sent to my Inbox! This is outrageous! There are many reasons why I must have those appear in my Inbox and not just stay in my Sent folder.

    PLEASE fix this!

  11. I am posting a search problem.

    This is not an idea. This is a problem. Your Customer Care tech support said to post the problem here.

    Regarding the advanced search line, I never had to enter a full word before:
    I could enter "imag" and it would retrieve imaginative.
    I could enter "Prager" and it would retrieve PragerU.
    I could enter "theste" and it would retrieve thesternmethod.

    The reason I enter shortened versions is often because it will pick up similar e-mails under variations. This saves time. And plus I might not know the extended version that it wants for retrieval. And then I get nothing…

  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?
