    Searching for emails on the new yahoo mail does not function as expected. I have 2 yahoo accounts that are linked, and when expanding the search options from the menu the mailboxes section only shows account1@yahoo.com and account2@yahoo.com and not individual folders/mailboxes for a given account. Additionally, complex searches like
    in:inbox after:2012-01-01 before 2015-12-31 returns emails outside of this date range??

  3. Aids Still on Mail App

    I noticed a button on the top right corner of my Yahoo Mail webpage that said " download the ad-free Yahoo Mail app". Based on that, I downloaded Yahoo Mail App on my Macbook. However, there has still been an aid at the top of my inbox in the app. I think it's a cheating.

  5. Delete functionality not working correctly when trying to comply with storage limits

    Hey you morons. I have an email account that is supposedly over storage. I'm attempting to delete messages at < 10K bucket size, but it seems to fillup the trash folder so you can't continue to remove messages. You then try to remove permanently delete message in trash in < 10K sizes and it seems to fail. What are we supposed to do. Do you even test this functionality out before rolling these limits out. Whoever the genius is this is clearly a money grab scam.

  6. Selecting Messages

    I'm cleaning up my inbox and having trouble with mass selections. It will initially select only 100 and then I scroll down to double check that there's nothing I want to keep, but then it keeps selecting more messages and I never get to the bottom of the list and have 1204 messages selected. Is there a way to toggle between a limitless inbox and a certain number of messages per page so the "select all" feature isn't just constantly checking more messages?

  9. Archive inactive inboxes instead of deleting them

    Myself and a lot of others use emails to send ourselves photos/videos/memories. It’s not something that gets checked regularly but to come back after a long while to see that it’s apparently been deleted is beyond heartbreaking. I had old family photos, photos of my parents, who are no longer with us; All my teenage memories just gone. I’d rather come back to my inbox untouched or have it archived but still accessible. As embarrassing as the ID is, this email had my whole teenage world and it’s really, really sad to see it’s all gone.

  10. Remove ads

    Don't like the advertisement that is always on the right side of the emails. How do I get rid of that so I can see all of the email without having to move across the screen

  11. Paying for customer support is unethical.

    When I was locked out of my account and needed to reset my email password, I discovered that I could only access support by signing up for a premium plan. This effectively forced me to pay for a service I did not want or need in order to regain access to my account.

    Password recovery is a basic and essential function that should be available to all users, not gated behind a paid subscription. It feels unethical and exploitative to require payment for something so fundamental, especially in an urgent situation where a customer has no other option.

    I am…

  14. saving email to c drive or cloud

    I need to be able to save emails to my local drive or to the cloud. Your help section's suggesting of dealing with IMAP is extremely difficult and not very clear. Other services (i.e Outook) permit me to do this. Why can't I do it on Yahoo or AOL

  15. spam from dating sites showing up as ad in Inbox

    The ad at the top of my inbox display is from "JapanDates", telling me about a 35 yr-old Japanese divorcee who wants to meet me. Why are you putting offensive spam directly into my inbox? Are these the advertising partners you are working with now? Inertia is all you have going for you at this point.

  16. User navigation

    Move the Starred, Contacts and More menu items up to the top and left of the "More on Yahoo" to make it MUCH MORE EASY to use. Putting this in the Ads area makes no sense and is poorly thought out.

  17. in-line image resizing not supported in the new Yahoo Desktop mail (was available in prev. version)

    In-line Image Resizing: Currently, the New Yahoo Desktop Mail does not support direct in-line image resizing, but that would be a nice enhancement and it was available in the previous Yahoo desktop Mail.

  18. Fix your Spam Filters to actually remove the Spam that I mark

    The very reason I almost NEVER use Yahoo Mail is because you can't take care of Spam. When I use my phone and mark something as Spam, it removes the email from my PHONE app listing with a stupid error saying my Spam filter is over its limit, but then when I come to the Browser application to check on my email, ALL of the emails that no longer show on my phone are STILL THERE on the Browser.

    This is the reason you can't compete with the newer email providers. When something is Spam, and it NEVER actually gets…
