  1. Expand Read/Unread and Filter options to include colors

    As many have suggested, the difference between Unread (BOLD) and Read (not bold) emails is often difficult to discern. I agree that an option to choose color assignment to Unread/Read emails would be good and a benefit to people like myself who have vision problems. Make Unread (BOLD)/Read (not bold) the DEFAULT OPTION and allow email recipients to choose separate colors of their choice using the color palette.

    Additionally, I would like to see you expand this feature to the Filter Options as well. Currently a filter can be set up to direct emails to a different…

  2. two step authentication

    I am asked to authenticate every time I log in with the same browser on the same computer. This has only been happening the past week or so. Before that it was only when accessing on new devices. Any suggestions?

  4. provide better help

    provide better help. Do not charge yahoo users to contact support teams via phone. Make chats & other support needed free to be able to solve issues. I should not have to "sign up" to receive help with my issues. I need to chat with an associate to fix my issue straight away & i can not do that because yahoo does not make it available. Makes me want to delete my yahoo account and discourage others from using yahoo. Why? because if you have an issue you cannot get help unless you pay for it. That…

  6. Single email delete option, yes, bring it back.

    Yes, bring it back to the right of the email subject. Having it on the FARRRR right where the time/date stamp appears is not how many of us want it or like it. That new single email format adds inefficiencies to our reading and deleting.
    This one guy/gal 'Swapnil Khatiwala' had stated "Keep the old format for delete option for delete single email, new theme is not user friendly" - and he/she is correct, it is not user friendly

  8. Switch Alias to be the Main Account

    I want my alias email to be my main account and I want to delete the old email. It only gets spam and yahoo is terrible at blocking spam. If I can’t delete the main account and use the alias instead, I’ll just switch everything to gmail like I’ve been wanting to do anyway.

  9. Keep certain things that you can hide-hide. Opens when you return when you dont want it period.

    I dont need the view items and want them closed which i can do but next time i open in, the view items are again open.
    Due to previous feedback, I doubt you will fix it. Just like the sports and finiance. Guess I will eventually move on to gmail with my comcast mail

  10. disposable addresses broken

    I have chatted with help a number of times on this and opened 3 tickets. When I go to create a new disposable address, it shows 147 of 500. So I should be able to add 353 more as a Pro user. I enter in the values I want, click Add and then NOTHING happens. This has been happening to me for a year now. It is VERY frustrating because I use the **** out of disposable addresses. So far with three submitted cases I have had no help, no email from support, no…

  12. I often get a long text e-mail & options 4 screen R not adjustable due to your ads. Is yahoo supported in any way. Less is not more.

    it seems below others have the same problem. Support for Yahoo is almost non-extent since buy out. I cannot perform some actions and have to use another Browser. Sad

  13. Signature

    It's irritating that I can no longer attach my signature image to outgoing emails using the signature setting. All other email services allow an image attachment. When will this option be added back in???

  15. Allow users to run a newly created filter against all the mail in their inbox.

    OK, I see that this idea has been suggesting the past several times (as long ago as 10 years), but someone at Yahoo marks it as Reviewed and people are not allowed to vote on it. So let me try phrasing it in a "use case" style:

    {A user has been involved in a project or group for a while and has now received several hundred emails related to this project over the course of the last 18 months. They realize that their inbox is a bit of a mess and want to move…

  17. I only want emails in my address box to go to the inbox, all others should go to spam

  19. Mailbox with my address is now appearing every time I run Yahoo. Security Issue.

    I am in Mailbox Management and I cannot delete the auto entry (I certainly did not allow this. I accidently left the "Stay Logged in" button when logging in, and now immediatly after, I am now presented with the mailbox.)
    Yahoo was OK before, allowing me to enter in my email address then password, not It is storing my email address everywhere which is not what I want..
