  4. Drastic reduction from 1 TB to 15 GB

    Why Yahoo, after so many years, according to an email I received today, since May 05, 2026 intends to drastically reduce inbox's size (from 1 TB to merely 15 GB) and calls it an "improvement"? It feels like an attempt to force users to switch from free plan to paid plan but I reviewed the information about pay plans and even the key information about their capacity seems to be missing. I am not sure how I'll be able to delete 50% of my storage - I have 28 GB and would never expect that steep reduction from 1 TB…

  5. Email Search doesn't work for email older than approximately 9 years

    Email Search doesn't work for email older than approximately 9 years - this has been a persistent problem that last for a long time, I'm just flagging it now as I was hoping it would be fixed with the new UI. It just doesn't work. For example, I can see email from "Kaggle" if I manually scroll to 2016 of before hand. If I search Kaggle onyl email up to October 2017 are shown though.

    Hi Alessandro, thanks for letting us know. We tried replicating the issue and couldn't. All our older emails showed up in search. Can you please send us a video of this happening to oasis.mail.feedback@yahooinc.com? Then provide browser and browser version? Thank you!

  6. Function for removing emails is not working

    The function for deleting all unread messages does NOT remove more than 100 even when I mark Remove all.
    Please sort this out before askinfg your customer to pay for storage.

  7. Calendar Display Inconsistent

    Calendar items are abbreviated now. Back and forth between abbreviated and full display. I so much prefer full display of calendar items. In fact, the whole reason to use Yahoo Calendar is the complete display of calendar items without clicking on something.

  8. Calendar Scheduling

    Whenever I click on the date, I want to schedule an event, the date is off by at least a day. Even when I amend the date and save the event is off by a day. So I have to end up dragging the event to the correct day. It's a BIG hassle to say the least. Please rectify this buy at your earliest convenience. Thanks in advance !!!

  9. More fixes for Calendar!

    I do not like the colored dots beside an event-I need the color bar, as it used to be shown. I also used the flag type to determine the status of my events-with no flags being shown, I cannot tell what is going on. Are these changes or is my calendar broken?

  10. Fix the Calendar!!!

    When I choose a day to add an event-it opens using the current day-not the day I chose. It also does this when I use the dropdown menu for adding an event or task. This is very frustrating & inconvenient; especially after years of choosing a day & have that day screen open.

  11. Calendar changes make calendar more difficult to use.

    Suddenly, week and month displays are abbreviated into one line. I can't read an entry without clicking on it. The previous version of calendar with multi-line readable entries was so easy to use. The new version with ugly colors has just been such a mess.

  12. Priority

    When all mail tab is selected the Priority label on all the Priority mail covers part of the subject line in the list of mail, a smaller circle with just a P in in it I believe would be better to not interfere with reading the subject titles.

    Not real important but it does look sloppy.

    Thanks - Paul

    Please set it back the way it was before. You are creating more work for users.

  14. Yahoo Email display window layout

    The Yahoo email display doesn't make good use of the display area. Files, folders, contacts and calendars etc... all need to be hidden but pop-out displays and allow the user to utilise the email lists and the window of the contents of the email usefully. ie. email lists + a window for a selected email's contents.

  16. Allow to create small mailing list groups

    It would be super helpful to create a group, like "Summer Vacation" or "coworkers" or "in-laws" and then add people to that group so later when I want to send an email (e.g. forward a photo from my phone I just took) to that group, I do not have to first save the photo, then look for the latest email to find the thread, then add the photo & send it, or manually add every recepient all over again, hoping that nobody is left out. It's such a simple thing, I don't understand why it is not yet possible... It's…

  17. Restore the ability to move folders that have sub-folders

    I organise my holidays in folders. Each holiday has sub folders for flights\hotels etc. Once the holiday is done I want to move the whole folder to "Past Trips". I used to be able to do this but no longer can.

    Here's what I have to do.
    Create a new folder in past trips with a dummy name.
    Move each subfolder in the current trip to the new dummy folder.
    Move any mails in the main current trip folder to the new dummy folder.
    Delete the original folder.
    Rename the dummy folder the the name of the trip.

    I used…

  18. Update "More on Yahoo" menu in Calendar to match the one in Mail

    Please update the "More on Yahoo" menu in the new version of Calendar to include icons next to the text (News, Finance, Sports, etc.), so that it matches the "More on Yahoo" menu that can be found when viewing messages in the new Yahoo Mail.

  19. Fix message hovers on Firefox, esp "Delete" (Trashcan) Icon

    After deleting a message with the trash can hover, the next message pops up. On Chrome, the trash can icon appears as expected. But on Firefox, you have to move the mouse out of the pane (either hover over another message, or move right to the preview pane and then back over the message. This makes deleting many messages in a row painful. It's a simple implementation bug, but worth fixing as Firefox is still a very popular browser.

  20. Adding email address to contacts

    I've tried, unsuccessfully, to add email addresses to my contacts I couldn't get them to SAVE, because I never saw a SAVE BUTTON. . It must be operator error, but I am wondering if this is a glitch in the new system and others are having the same difficulty?
