  2. DO NOT CHANGE FOLDER NAMES

    REP TOLD ME TO POST HERE!!!!!
    My archive folder disappeared from the yahoo mail app on my mobile phone with over 300 archived emails with very important documents. The rep, LEO, was not helpful and told me to write my concern here. The folder list now has a DONE folder which I DID NOT create and it has replaced my ARCHIVE folder. This folder had emails archived for over a year with invoices, receipts, confirmations, etc. I am sick as to where it went and how did it disappear.
    My laptop has the Archive folder and not the done folder.…

  4. BY NOT EXTORTING CUSTOMERS!!!!

    First Yahoo EXTORTED us for additional storage, NOW you make it IMPOSSIBLE to DL folders and emails to a local drive in order to archive and reduce server storage. THESE two issues are why I'm trying desperately to move everything OFF Yahoo so I can establish a different email elsewhere, cancel my Yahoo extortion fees and leave Yahoo FOREVER! The way you REDUCED storage to a fraction only to extort customers is unconscionable and I can only hope and pray there are legal grounds for a class action lawsuit for the way Yahoo has gone about this. I've used Yahoo…

  6. Diverting certain emails to separate location named what I'd like

    Because I have a shared email account I'd like to hide certain emails that come in immediately. So just like JUNK mail gets diverted to that folder I'd like a folder I can divert certain emails I don't want shared

  8. Starred messages at top of mailbox

    Add back the functionality to have starred messages at the top of the inbox. If we star something, it should be there so we can see it and take care of it when needed. Don't hide them in a submenu we never look at. You're trying to get people to pay for this, not drive them away to other services.

  10. Folder Assignment

    This is a feature that no one else has, but it would be amazing. It's called "folder assignment". So here's the principle, you know how when you get an email it goes into the inbox and then you sort it right? Well you would be able to assign email based on the address it came from to a specific folder, so that every time it came from that address after the first time it would automatically go to that folder directly, and then on your screen you could just look at the number next to the folder to see how…

  11. After selecting a folder from the "Move" drop down, leave the where it was last used

    From the email inbox screen, when using the drop down on the “Move” option and you select a Folder for the move, leave the Drop Down at that location so if you want to move another email there, you won’t have to go and find it.

    This would be very useful when you get an email and you reply to the email and you want to save both, you have to use the drop down while in the Inbox to move the email, then go to the Sent folder and use the drop down from there. It would be very…

  12. removing deleted emails

    Why do you remove deleted emails after 7 days? I'm trying to retrieve an email from last month and it's gone. This is extremely frustrating because it feels like it's someone messing with my information and emails.

  13. leave me alone

    Stop deleting my emails. What you think is old and not useful to you happens to be very important to me, the owner of the emails it is addressed to and it is NOT YOU. LEAVE MY SPAM, TRASH, INBOX AND ALL OTHER FOLDERS ALONE. I DO NOT NEED YOUR HELP. YOU HAVE NO IDEA OR CLUE WHAT I AM GOING THROUGH IN MY LIFE AND NO IDEA AT ALL THE PROBLEMS I AM FACING OR THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING ME. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THIS WITH YOU SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY AND I TOLD YOU I AM TRYING TO CLEAR OUT…

  14. can't delete large number of emails

    When I clicked the select all box to delete some unread emails, a box shows up at the top of the screen and suggests that I click to delete 80,000 emails. I select it and the status bar shows up and takes 10 minutes to get to 100% and then all the emails are still there. I have emptied the trash, tried different browsers on my computer and the emails still remain. I have had this yahoo account for over 20 years and there are many emails not deleted on the account. I am trying to get rid of the…

  15. Don't mess with it!

    Due to having an ad blocker (yes that is right I am not into seeing pop up ads of ****) I am unable to see certain emails when they are put into folders. This is not impressive since this does not happen with every folder or spot that I can see emails so it is just proof that some of the ads are larger or you guys are trying to force people into going for the newest or paying for the ads to not show. NOT IMPRESSIVE AT ALL!

  18. Don't duplicate. There is no need and no point

    August 29, 2025

    Dear Yahoo,

    Over the years, it has been a pleasure to work with yahoo.

    However and as we were saying, the record of e-mails sent,
    for example, don't need to be duplicated.

    As we were saying, there is no need and there is no point.

    Plus, it takes up space for no reason. Since you want to charge
    the public for storage, apparently, we really don't want duplicates
    of e-mails sent or otherwise.

    Simply record one e-mail per e-mail. That's all.
