  2. Choosing Recipients

    When sending a message, I can choose recipients from my contacts. There the names are alphabetical by last name, but it takes a long time to scroll down the list.

  4. Message Reply Block

    When replying to an email, it MUST show the FULL reply header just like it does when messages are forwarded:
    ----- Forwarded Message -----
    From: DoorDash <********@doordash.com>
    To: "
    ***@yahoo.com" <********@yahoo.com>
    Sent: Monday, July 22, 2019, 10:48:24 AM EDT
    Subject: Your order is Complete

    To do less is not an option. This was once-upon-a-time a choice the users made per account. They got to choose which response they wanted - full or short. I NEVER want a short reply or forward header. I always want the full detail there every single time. Others may want the option…

  5. bcc

    Suggestion - Warn to use BCC

    Could there be an option (just like 'Undo Send') that can avoid that, for instance 20 or more e-mail addresses would leak by accidentally putting them in the 'To' (or 'CC') field instead of using BCC ?

    In case there would be a 'Warn to use BCC' feature (working like 'Undo Send' in Gmail), it would be to me like an 'awesome blessing'...

    In that case a user should be warned if a given amount of e-mail addresses (i.e. 20) would be placed in the WRONG field (not BCC). When pressing 'Send' or, even…

  7. Please allow composing a new e-mail in a separate box so that we can refer to other e-mails while doing so.

    I have just returned to using the yahoo mail service and I like the new colours and options you are providing. The one serious inconvenience is that I am unable to refer to the mailbox when I am composing which means I have to close composing to go back, copy and insert material that I want to use in the new e-mail.

  8. Allow removal of "friendly name"s from non-contact addresses

    If a receive an email from a non-contact address with a "friendly name" attached to it, Yahoo somehow caches the friendly name and attaches it to the non-contact address. This is sometimes the wrong thing if the address is a job title for which the incumbent can change, but there seems to be no way to remove the association.

  10. Do you want yahoo mail to be more user friendly?

    Contact Zieg in customer care. He/she has all my ideas. I can make yahoo mail 20-30% more user friendly than your designers. The new changes makes yahoo mail virtually non functional on an android tablet, among other things.

  11. when i click on a letter in an email don't highlight and replace it

    If I have made a single mistake mid-sentence and i click on it to fix it I should be able to just delete the mistake and retype rather than it replacing the space and automatically moving to the next space, this has more often then not led me to retyping the whole sentence just so there isn't a random missing letter

  12. Thesaurus

    What happened to the option to use the thesaurus when composing an email?

    This option is needed because most users want to avoid using the same word too many times when composing email. By removing this option, the user would have to open another program (ex: MS WORD) in order to use the Thesaurus and then return to Yahoo to edit their email. Cumbersome to say the least.

  13. Hate the new mail still. Can't seem to access any drafts, all I get is a stupid news video.

    Can't access drafts as it just keeps playing a stupid news video clip I'm not interested in. Am trying to write emails for work, not watch some stupid video. Also still won't copy and paste properly. Looks good on the screen and then the recipient gets a mess of different font sizes and spacing. will have to leave Yahoo Mail soon as it's making my job so much harder and frustrating. Wish you'd never messed with the old version it was so much better.

  14. Please provide a type size BETWEEN "medium" and "large" ...

    My type size is set to medium, but LARGE would be better for many of my correspondents. However LARGE is so big that it would annoy some of the correspondents in my "lists." PLEASE PROVIDE a "medium-large" type size, useful for older folks whose eyesight is not as acute as it once was. Thanks so much!

  16. CHANGES THAT HELP US (not you only.)

    CHANGES THAT HELP US:

    Why don't all of you just admit you messed up with your new changes and change back to what worked, then go slow with your up dates, one at a time. Can't you see we are all fed up with what you have forced us into. Instruct your technicians to start over, with us your keepers in mind.

  17. Related Contacts are Dangerous!!

    What were you guys thinking with Related Contacts? Do you know how easy it makes it to SEND AN EMAIL TO THE WRONG PERSON?? All you have to do is click on the wrong place in the subject line, and boom -- someone else gets your email. It's happened multiple times to my wife. Luckily Outlook is my primary email. They do stupid things too, but at least that's not an issue.

  19. "PRINT" box

    It would be great to be able to click on a box to print automatically when composing emails. Maybe you could even make it an option to print all emails with a box during "Compose" to opt out of that email in particular.
