  1. I really hate Yahoo Mail. The emails don't list in consecutive order. I often reply to an email and my reply is in the middle of a thread.

    Make the email normal, like Microsoft Outlook. List the emails individually, at the top or bottom of the thread. It's incredibly frustrating to find emails, and the collapse function sometimes makes this easier, but not always. Let me respond to one, and only one, email, and not be forced to include the entire thread. Very frustrating. I'm probably going to switch over to Google Mail. None of my friends have problems with that.

    We recommend turning off conversations groups, by going to Settings-More Settings-Viewing email.

    You can click the check box next to the email and use the Delete function on the top of the mailbox list.

  5. old format, please!!!!!

    In the email list, there is too much space!!! I can only see have the amount of email as before. On my large screen desktop, it's just an annoyance, but on my 13" laptop and the wide-screen monitor at work, you can only get 5 or 6 emails displayed with the current email displayed on the bottom. Please have more than one version, and have a version with less whitespace between the emails in the list!!

  7. scroll bar

    The scroll-bar on the side is not functioning. You can't go up and down to search email, even with the arrow keys. Folders column also...scroll bar dysfunctional. When you are check-ticking on your emails, and scroll down to next page, the ticks disappear.

  8. Basic to Full Featured Impossible

    Moving from "Basic" mode to "Full Featured" mode is near impossible. Takes a PhD. I can't figure it out.

  9. Constant Authentication Process

    For the past few days, I've had to change my password several times. This is utterly annoying as I need to remember them and can't keep track, not to mention the fact that having to constantly go through the authentication processes is a terrible nuisance.

    I urge you to look into this problem ASAP as I won't keep using your services if this isn't solved quickly.

    Thank you.

  11. Nothing works!

    You took away the "views" that had some of my photos in it. We used to be able to attach photos from recent emails~~that is gone. We don't have any stationery. Please put everything back the way it was. This is getting to be too much to bear with~~you do something different every day and no one knows how to operate this stuff.

  12. mail auto refreshes when I'm searching for an email below. Suddenly, it will refresh and brings me again to top of the email

    New Yahoo email keeps refreshing itself. Not sure why. If I am searching for emails and have gone down couple of pages, suddenly it refreshes the emails and brings me to top of the emails.
    How do I stop it?

    New email login puts me on yahoo news, then I must click on the mail icon. If I wanted yahoo news, I would go there. Please give us the option to go directly to mail when logging on.

    Please go to mail.yahoo.com from the desktop computer and sign in. This way you should see your Inbox and not the news.

    On the top right corner of the email page, between your profile picture and the Home button click the dots and you will see the links to the Finance, Sport, and news in the drop-down menu.

  20. Don't remove tabbed emails from top of list

    The older Yahoo Mail format allowed multiple opened emails to be tabbed on the top of the list. This WAS VERY USEFUL as a reminder of emails that I needed to pay attention too - later. Now they just disappear into thin air.

    To allow tabs in Yahoo Mail, go to Settings, scroll down and toggle on the ‘’Message tabs’’ option.
