  3. Attachment opening still very poor and multiple bottlenecks

    The attachment should not be opened in email window unless user click specific option visible. Attachment from bottom bar should have option to save or open as user choose. There are multiple problem of getting attachment in computer folder.

  4. WHERE have the account settings gone? I can't find privacy settings anymore!

    That little icon (wheel) no longer gives me my account settings. I don't WANT to play with "themes" and colors, I want to change a privacy setting. I had to switch BACK to Classic Mail to do it!

  6. Make it very easy to return to Basic Mail. I followed the directions, but did not succeed. Return me to Basic Email; I Can't.

    Place a button next to Settings button so people can return to Basic Email right away. I followed your directions but I could not find "Switch to Classic Mail" at the bottom of the SettiIngs window. I also could not find "Tell why you want to leave." In addition, I could not find "Switch back.." Yahoo switched me out of Basic Email. I did not switch myself.

  8. Add to Yahoo settings; Default setting for "Stay signed in".

    Add to Yahoo settings; Default setting for "Stay signed in".
    I checked for this idea and the response from Yahoo product support is old, from 2018-12 and it simply says "Gathering Feedback". So why has this not been addressed yet? Why is there no setting for this in Yahoo settings menus? Why can't a browser cookie remember this setting?

    PLEASE I want to set the default for "Stay signed in" as un-checked! I want this disabled by default due to the securtiy risk. I'm so disappo…

  9. I do not want to see what I sent in my in box. It should only be in my sent box. How to change this would be nice to know.

  15. Stop disabling messages and links disabled in spam. I often want to see them, even if they are spam. I don't appreciate censorship

    I don't want links and messages disabled, nor to have to make a message 'not spam,' in order to view it. I don't want it in my inbox, but I do want the option to view it to be mine. Sometimes viewing spam, alerts as to what is 'out there,' and sometimes spam gets through Yahoo filters. I want to be able to identify spam that may have entered my inbox. Yahoo should not be censoring my email; putting it in the Spam folder is sufficient. I check…

    Hello there. You can go to Settings-More Settings-Viewing email and then scroll down to ‘’Show images in messages’’ to select your preferred setting.

  16. The latest mail update is a step in the wrong direction, form over substance

    The new settings button opens a huge section dealing with themes.
    ICYMI, email isn't about colors, it's about productivity. Now, to change an actual setting, I need to click one more button for 'more settings'.
    A step in the wrong direction.
    ALSO,
    the one setting that would actually help me is still broken:
    in view mode, with preview pane set on the right, and messages sorted newest first, after moving a message to a folder the view always goes to the previous message, regardless of the setting of 'previous' vs 'next'.

  18. There is still no "Switch To Classic Mail" option

    "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.

  20. Fixing Messages in Spam, Trash, Inbox With Filters

    Filters to get recurring, unwanted messages in Spam to go directly to Trash do not work. Filters to get wanted messages in Trash to go directly to InBox do not work. Also, Yahoo is s-l-o-w.
