  1. Get rid of ads across the bottom of the page

    Your new ad across the bottom of the page is a really bad idea. What's next? Another ad above it making just one email subject line visible?

  2. Calendar

    I wish I could restore my old Calendar full view. It was perfect, and much more functional than the new view which I do not like at all.

  3. Please allow Planner function to be disabled

    Please allow users to toggle off the planner function. Some of us are very happy with existing calendars and find the Yahoo version to be an unreasonable intrusion with your scanning of our emails

  4. Ads with fake checkboxes are deceptive!

    I've noticed a lot more ads in the email folder/list view that have fake checkboxes. If you are trying to clean up emails, it is easy to accidentally click on one of these ads and open a new window/tab. I see this as a deceptive practice on the part of Yahoo Mail because it creates a perception that a customer is purposefully going to that ad. I recommend that you remove the fake checkboxes on ads. Thanks for listening!

  5. Ads connected to a Virus should not be connected to email.

    There was an Ad that showed up in my email box with a area to the left to click on it labeled Smith. I tried to remove it and a redirect pop up telling me I was infected with a virus. the Yahoo Mail Ad from smith is the virus. The statement gave the notice of senior benefits in my area.

  6. Fix the calendar display bugs

    Every time I add notes to an existing calendar event and save them, that event now appears TWICE on that day until I hit refresh on the browser.

  7. make "go back to the old Yahoo Mail" reversible

    Hello.
    It is not obvious if a user clicks "go back to the old Yahoo Mail" if it also possible to come back to the current one.
    Hence please display explicitly if it is possible or not.

  11. Draft Deletion Too Permanent. Need "Recently Deleted" File.

    I do not understand why drafts are permanently deleted but regular mail can be retrieved. Please make it so when you delete anything, whether a draft or an email, at least hold the emails in a "Recently Deleted" folder for a week and then delete it. People make mistakes all the time and delete the wrong thing by accident and this seems too permanent of a consequence for something so small.

  12. Archived Emails?

    Is there any way to restore the oldest messages from my yahoo mail that were automatically deleted? I'm glad that Yahoo deleted the spam that had accumulated in my yahoo mail for years after it was taken over then I got it back. But I wish I could recover the oldest messages that I may have sent or received from actual contacts in the years that this was my primary email. I'm sure that a backup exists somewhere in the Yahoo archives.

  13. Do not delete any important emails from saved files.

    Yahoo. Why have a lot of my emails that I had saved in files been deleted? I am literally in court proceedings with my ex wife & a lot of my important emails have just gone? This is absolutely unforgivable.

  15. Where do I begin?

    OMG. This is the "helpful" information I finally found: "Third-party email apps (that do not use our {TKNPRODUCTYAHOONAME} branded sign-in page) require you to enter a single password for login credentials. To access your {TKNPRODUCTMAILNAME} account on these apps, you'll need to generate and use an app password. An app password is a randomly generated code that gives a non-{TKNPRODUCTYAHOONAME} app permission to access your {TKNPRODUCTYAHOONAME} account. You'll only need to provide this code once to sign in to your 3rd party email app."

    I can't even figure…
