  1. font size

    I want the font size of the inbox to be larger. I do not want to zoom in especially for yahoo mail and then have to zoom out again for every other webpage that I use. It is bizarre that the font on this yahoo page is larger than the font in the new inbox.

  2. autoresponder not working

    Your documentation stated email forwarding was no longer available, but older users (I have had my account for years) would still maintain this service. I found out by accident, when people were trying to reach me and found other means, that mail forwarding is NOT working at all. And there is no where to maintain it. This strikes me as an absurd shortcoming for a small business account. So I turned on vacation/out of office response, to let people trying to reach me…

  3. No longer seeing how much Storage available

    Not an idea but an issue. I can no longer see how much storage I am using on my Yahoo mail account.

  4. Allow Apps that use less secure sign in

    I would like to allow an app that uses a less secure sign in.

    App Passwords is insufficient to allow to access older third-party mail clients. Some do not work properly due to the auto generated spaces in the password generated by App Passwords.

    My current yahoo password is a longer generated password and hence more secure than the one generated using App passwords.

    You have essentially made Yahoo useless to me and I will be going back to Gmail

    Your new format for yahoo mail is terrible. No room for me to read my emails and no way to expand the box as there are only three electives and not one to get more room at the bottom. I will be changing from Yahoo to another mailbox that is easier to use. Why do you have to keep messing around with yahoo? You did not improve things. I hope others will switch as well.

  7. I don't like the new version of mail. It doesn't have the user-friendly options that classic has.

    My mother and I use Yahoo. My mother is 90 years old and deaf so she relies on her email for communication. She is getting more confused and the little box at the bottom right that says "one click away from your upgraded inbox" is annoyingly in the way. She is constantly clicking on it by accident and I have to change it back to the classic version on a daily basis. Is there a way to get rid of that box? She will never use the new version of email because the…

  8. FONT IS TOO SMALL EVERYWHERE

    EVERYTHING is TOO small. I am 76 years old, and I can't read anything once I log into my Yahoo account. The list of folders are too small. The list of e-mails in my inbox are too small. The new version makes it TOO HARD to read anything when I simply log in.

    I haven't even opened an e-mail YET to see the OTHER problems. EVEN THE EXTREME while background and the new "themes" and colors hurt my eyes.

    How do I switch it back to the OLD Version so I…

  9. disposable address control

    please give back the previous (old) disposable address controls. This new Y.mail makes the use of disposable addresses very USER-UNFRIENDLY !!! and even cumbersome to get to. The previous version was easily accessible under "settings - options" and the addresses were copyable --- in the current version these addresses ARE NOT Copyable. Please give back the previous (old) disposable address controls. These bad changes just irritate your Users -- why do you repeatedly, update after update, irritate your Users?

  10. Would like my reply to be at the top of the email thread like in the old version..

    When I reply to an email it is now at the bottom of the email thread, in the old version you had the option in settings I believe to have your reply at either end.. I prefer newest first.. so I don't have to scroll through old conversations.

  11. disable POP and IMAP

    Hi, I want to disable POP and IMAP access to my mail, because I want the safety from my two-step verification. Maybe you could add a checkbox to disable it. I know that the Yahoo Mail web interface uses IMAP itself, but something should be done about it.

    I think IMAP works with only the password, not the SMS code from the phone.

  13. There is no "Switch To Classic Mail" option after clicking on "Settings" icon.

    When I Click the Settings icon in the top-right corner there is no "Switch To Classic Mail" option at the bottom of the window. In the new Yahoo Mail the fonts are too light making them more difficult to read from a distance. There is no option in settings to enlarge type. Doing so via keyboard results in type that is still too light. Give me back "Classic" Yahoo mail.

    Our Engineers made some changes so the “Switch to Classic” option in settings should now show. Thank you for your feedback.

  15. Its ridiculous that you have to sign up & PAY for their "premium service" to get ANY kind of help with your account.

    Its ridiculous that you have to sign up & PAY for their "premium service" to get ANY kind of help with your account. I apparently blocked an important email address, because the company checked their firewalls and I've checked my firewalls, but it still won't come through. But its also NOT listed on my blocked emails. All I have is ONE address blocked & I know before all this changed to their "New" email that this list was much longer. Apparently I cannot access who I've blocked in the past, & I obviously accidently blocked this company. I…

  18. Please give us our settings back

    The "new" YM will be great when you restore many of the features (filters, in particular) we used to have in the old version. Are you still working on implementing those in the new style? It's been quite a while now... Sure miss 'em!

  19. you should bring back the abilty to see how many places are logged in to YahooMail and offer the ability to remotely log them off

    It would be really groovy if you brought back the ability to see how many places/instances that are logged in to YahooMail, and offer the ability to remotely log them off - so that we can have some ability to control our privacy better.

    That ability was very helpful to people who might mistakenly still be logged in to a machine somewhere, and we had some measure of control to log those instances off.

    If we have to pay extra for this ability, that's not good. There is the danger of completely ruinin

  20. Please add automatic forwarding email option to new email addresses for Australia (old yahoo email address to new yahoo email address)

    I have been using yahoo since 1999 and now wish to change my email address as my surname changed. I set up a new account and attempted to automatic forward all emails to this new address but yahoo does not give this option. Apparently it's not for this 'locale' Can Australia be added please?
