  1. 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..

  3. Keep filter up/down arrows from scrolling

    In New Mail the filter up/down arrows are at the top and move off the screen as you scroll down the filter list. If you are working with anything lower than, say, the 15th filter, this makes it difficult and unwieldy to try to move filters up and down -- as you're working with a filter that is many pages below the buttons. The simple solution is to return to NO-SCROLL for the up-down button, and preferably move them to aside the filter list rather than atop it. Thanks.

  4. Let me set a default mail account

    I have two email accounts: one with my generic Yahoo username and one with Yahoo small business. With new mail, both accounts are available under the Compose button. But every time I log in on desktop, my generic Yahoo username account opens first. I never use that account. I want my small business account to open by default. Right now, every time I log in on desktop, it's an extra click. Let me set which one should open by default.

  6. Intrusive Privacy Policy

    This is not intended for Yahoo alone. I feel that the providers of all types of internet and social media access and communications have all stepped over the line of decent behavior. The users are nothing more than pawns in the corporation's goal of making as much money as possible at whatever costs. We the user have no other options if we want to use the internet but to submit to gross invasions of our privacy. For this reason I will never agree to Yahoo's new privacy terms and suggest no one else should either.

  7. After I read an email I want the type face to go to a lighter shade so I can tell which emails I have already read -- like it used to do.

    After I have read an email, I want the type to get light again, like it used to do, so I can tell which ones I have already read.

  10. stop organizing emails by day/week/month

    stop organizing emails by day/week/month

    i can guarantee you genuinely anybody with two functioning braincells does not want their emails divided like that. it's ugly and distracting. could you schmucks design a email service decently for once.

  11. put billing attached to SETTINGS in side the mail application.

    it is BAD idea to follow a link in an email or call a number sent to you in an email. . .FISHING. if no billing/payment tied to settings WITHIN yahoo mail I guess the paid portion is going to run out.

  15. Terrible. Fire your programmers. Delinquent incompetence.

    Just collapse and make Yahoo disappear. The best left for you to do.

  16. Enable disposable email base name change

    Many have complained, but it seems that Yahoo has not considered enabling this feature. I have not used my disposable email yet, so I'd like to be able to change the base name. Perhaps users should be able to change their disposable email base name until they have started receiving emails to the created disposable emails.

  17. language

    I'm using VPN and Yahoo changes the language to something I can't read automatically, without asking and without me being able to find the settings to select. There should be a prompt once, to ask what language I prefer and save it. No matter where I login from. Unbelievable!

  18. Hurts my eyes

    The white email field and the inability to control the contrast to painful. I do not need further eye strain issues. If this is not changed promptly, I will change my email service to hotmail, outlook or gmail. It is truly that bad!

  19. filter

    The filters should have option to allow only emails from specified email id or list of domains from which email are allowed. For example, I would like to get only bank, friends and family email in inbox and rest all in other folders
