  1. filters

    Hi there,

    Upgrading the filters would be a good idea, a simple way to stop spam is to enable the ability to match the given name to the domain name. Most spam tries to convince you of its authenticity by putting the name of the domain as the sender name a simple if/else clause would make it easy to filter fake emails. It would be good if there was a "does not end with" option. Also it might just be me but I don't find the term "from" to be…

  3. Chromebook, "control"+"Z" is the undo // and "control" + the "-" button is to decrease screen % size and "control" + the "+"

    On a Chromebook, "control"+"Z" is the undo //

    "control" + the "+" is to increase screen size.

    YAHOO e-mail service technology folks need to e-distribute a tutorial to all its end users for the popular brands of laptop and / or Chromebooks / tablet devices.

    And to seriously remember that smoking weed is not a good idea.
    It also adversely affects general cognitive abilities, as research as proven, despite what some want to believe.

  4. Permit customisation of inbox.

    Allow us to customise our own inbox. ie allow us to permanently hide or delete useless, system-created folders such as starred, and that rubbish under Views ( which constantly reappears even though there is a Hide button). Having this rubbish we dont want interferes with a clean, easy to view in box . YOUR unwanted folders push MY folders off the view of the screen.

  5. Give us the option to chose weither or not we want our personal data to be shared!!!

    Just because the world is demanding everyone to have an email address now, is no reason for companies to steal our personal information. Where is our freedom of privacy, when you force all of us to freely hand over our personal lives to your prying eyes? It is a serious violation of trust and personal space, especially when you cannot stop hackers from stealing our data, and you want us to share more. It is illegal for people to tamper with your personal mail, but nothing protects us from…

  8. Bring back the option to change the language

    This version is pretty decent, indeed. I'm really enjoying it.
    But, guys, please, bring back the option to change the language. I'm stuck in another language and i'm not able to change it.

  9. I have been a user since 1999 and this is the worst yet, why have you disconnected the mail filter from the email list?

    leave the filter as it was before, highlight the email and click yes to filter these type. You have it hidden in settings and have to manually fill in the fields, MUPPETS

  11. How can i BLOCK an IP address from Maharashtra India that is sitting inside my maibox and monitoring it?You dont allow screenshots in feed

    No email, just an IP address. You don't allow screenshots of problems in Yahoo feedback. *** not?

    My 'idea' is Yahoo should fix it and not be a craven sycophant to its short term corporate interests.

    In order to do that please tap on your profile picture in the Yahoo Mail App > Settings > Security.

  14. What I change for my "signature" in the left box, does not change accordingly in the right box. What's up? and there's no SAVE.Ugh!!!! Icky.

    Please make the left box (where I make changes for "signature") match the right box. My edits are not saved. There is no SAVE either. Icky. Please fix this. Now I have a half-baked signature on my new composition, and must edit it EVERY mesage. CRAZY. I use Safari, and iMac. Please!!!!!!!!!

  16. inbox sort should be permanently remembered

    I prefer my sort in my inbox to be Unread. But I have to set it as that every time I open a new instance, which is incredibly user-hostile. There's no reason that my selection shouldn't persist between sessions until I elect to change it. Please add this important feature.

  19. cox.net

    Cox has moved all its email services to Yahoo which could be a great thing. My main issue is that now the only way I can get my emails from all 6 of my Cox addresses in one inbox is blocked because I don’t want to pay 5 dollars for each account so that I can forward them to one in box at Yahoo.com that I have used for a few years now (which may not be possible anyway due to cox.net address). I don’t mind paying the five dollars a month…
