  1. get rid of those popups at the bottom right corner

    Constant popups at the bottom right corner interrupts my viewing other things and I must click on the arrow to get the popup out. Then it keeps coming back, until I click on removing all of them.....then I get a break for a while.
    can't Yahoo figure another way to annoy (and keep) customers?

  2. Unstable Mail Screen

    On the free mail screen when I enable ads, the ads are not the same size so my screen keeps expanding and contracting as new ads are displayed. This also affects the font size. This gets very irritating, if I disable ads I obviously do not have this issue. If you constrained your ads to a single size this wouldn't be an issue. I understand you need ads for revenue, but if you make the mail system unusable then ther is a problem.

  3. MAJOR SECURITY THREAT on mail.yahoo.com

    You have a security exploit on the mail.yahoo.com website. It is in the ad-generator portion of the page, which you lease/sell to third party vendors. The ad vendors are able to place malware into the ad code, so during an ad refresh on the page, it redirects the whole page to a malware/"click here to close"/virus website. THIS IS A MAJOR SECURITY THREAT. it tracks across 4 browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari) and 3 operating systems. The flaw is in mail.yahoo.com...not the end-user. You can fix this in server side/client side coding if you have a good coder who puts…

  4. Poor performance due to cookies and trackers

    The tracking bugs in ads are SO MANY that waiting on them to load and change is dragging down performance, and I can't print my email. I'm seeing so many "waiting on" messages on the lower left. This is so disappointing and frustrating.

  5. Search Results

    Search results only shows sub-folders locations - not the main folder & sub-folder as the Classic Mail version did. I use Yahoo for business and have main folders and sub-folders for organization and Client records. So the main folder for location along with the sub-folder is extremely important to view for the results. Please fix that!
    Also, When getting results from a search when your message layout is to the right, can you bring back it viewing as full screen like Classic Mail did? It doesn"t make sense to only be able to view partial results. Thank you!

  6. 1000 blocked addresses. Needs expanding!

    In the past 6 weeks, my block list has gone from double digits to nearly 1000.

    1000 is the current limit. This is wholly inadequate

    As Yahoo has failed to respond to the many calls to allow domain blocking, or even TLD blocking, the very least they could do is expand the limit to 10,000. Should be considerably easier from an engineering perspective.

    Unless, of course, Yahoo is profiting from spambot operators?

  10. Filter and then forward

    There is no way to filter for certain messages and then automatically forward those messages.
    This is a standard function in other e-mail apps. Why should we pay $30 for a service that can't compete with other e-mail apps?

  11. Slow Performace

    Too annoying and not even responsive when needed... Want to get ride off but couldn't. Either fix or remove your mail service. Everybody is fade up. There is no comparison in between gmail and yahoo. Gmail is much much better. At least make ymail quite lighter and fast responsive .

  13. subject bar

    Please remove the "search" icon from subject bar. It requires careful avoidance if one wishes to view the preview without opening the email. I have no idea what the function is, since it only opens another line with a selection of highlighted words.

    Please make the computer interface similar to the mobile app when deleting e-mails. When trying to delete e-mails in a batch on the computer and you highlight e-mails individually it is too easy to click in the wrong place and then all the e-mails you have highlighted for deletion are lost and you have to start again.

  18. update needed for printing pop up so multiple emails can be accessed at once in new yahoo email

    Please fix this in the new yahoo email.......
    In the old classic version of yahoo mail, I could click print email and the email would pop up in it's own box. I could do this for many emails at a time, each one in it's own pop up box. This then allowed me to handle all of my work at once, one by one, I could close the email print box as I completed the task at hand and not have to go back to my inbox and file those emails. BTW, I am not actually printing the emails, unless…

  19. Phishing Malware coming through Yahoo ads

    There is a phishing malware scheme coming through on yahoo advertising. It warns and threatens that your computer has been compromised, and then says through a recording that you need to call a number to restore the computer. DO NOT CALL THE NUMBER! Simply disconnect your internet connection and close your browser. Then restore the internet connection.
    This is annoying though, and most likely some people are unfortunately calling the phishing scheme. This has been going on for a couple of months now. Why has yahoo not fixed this? Yahoo is currently playing a part in distributing this phishing scheme…

  20. I don't mind ads but your ads are too intrusive.

    I don't mind ads, after all yahoo provides us with a free service. But ads can be tailored not to be intrusive when one uses a service. In that case I will white-list yahoo mail.
