  1. Allow alphabetizing a list by last name .

    Allow Alphabetizing contacts in a list by last name. First name is illogical.

  4. One big improvement would be not to lose my contacts list. What do I do now?

    All this stuff means nothing if you make my contacts list go away.

  7. Your contacts format is horrible! Why did you change it? Now I can't select the contacts in a list to do a send to all email. Bad.

    You need to bring back the ability to select contacts from a list to send an email to selected contacts, or to everyone on the list. Your changes to that feature make no sense at all.

  9. missing mail contacts

    Guess what Yahoo users, on 09032020 my contacts list disappeared in yahoo mail and when I clicked in the TO: and started typing my contacts didn't come up. I attempted to contact yahoo and yahoo is unreachable. even when I fill out the missing contacts form and using yahoo's date to revert contacts too...using yahoo format it says improper format and will not submit form. I figured it out. If you use any browser email ad blockers turn them off and your contacts come back. Yahoo takes away your access to your stored contacts if you BLOCK ADS. I really…

  10. Yahoo Mail wouldn't be so incredibly lame if it didn't lose 25 years of my contacts today.

    There is no description for the ineptness on display by Yahoo.

  12. where are my contacts?

    I've been on Yahoo mail since the 90's. As you can imagine, I've got a few contacts, including phone #'s I rely on you guys to keep secure. Now after 20+ years, my contact list is empty. Please restore it ASAP.

  14. Erasing contacts

    Yahoo forcing me to UPGRADE at a cost.
    Yahoo lost my contact list I do business with.

    WHY WOULD I WANT TO USE YAHOO EMAIL MOVING FORWARD IF YAHOO ABUSES LONG TERM USERS (25+ years) LIKE THIS?

    Really poor choice for Yahoo to foist this upon their users.

    BAD BUSINESS MODEL, YAHOO...
    At least give your users an opt-in function WITH an alert that switching will force a loss of ALL contacts and a back-up should be recommended... BUT THAT'S NOT HOW YAHOO DECIDED TO HANDLE IT AND I'M ****** OFF!!!!!

    BUSINESS CONTACTS LOST BECAUSE I WAS STUPID ENOUGH TOP…

  15. Carriage Return in Notes section of Contacts

    I cannot enter information on separate lines in the Notes section of Contacts. When I hit return to go to a separate line, Contacts saves my changes and exits. This is ****.

  18. Ability to sort email contacts by last name. It's now a safety issue!

    Email contacts in Yahoo mail NEED the ability to be sorted by last name. I understand that younger users and really older users only need the first name. In this age of Corona Virus it is actually a SAFETY ISSUE not being able to do this. Somebody on your list as Robert Smith could be listed under "r" for Robert, or "b" for Bob at opposite ends of the alphabet. Yahoo needs to be viable for professionals as well as high school students and senior citizens.

  19. The new contact list email setup is absolutely WORTHLESS!!!!! The old way was better. CHANGE IT BACK

    Put it back the way it was. When I pull an address from the to field to put it in the BCC field it used to disappear from the to field and now it doesn't. FIX IT

  20. Ditch the new email, go back to the old email. This is preposturous

    I have no contact in your "new" totally obnoxious email. You have thousands protesting your dumb Basic Mail concept. All are going to other email providers. I am moving my important mail and folders to gmail. Gmail and other providers do not act as tyrants forcing their clients to either pay to block truly obnoxious ads (that get in the way of even reading one's emails) or to use what you euphamistically call Basic Mail. This is nothing like email used to be. I don't have access to my emails of a couple of days ago, nor to the emails…
