  2. Actually have NO ADS when you pay for it.

  4. Creating A List

    I am trying to create a list in Yahoo mail. I successfully created the list and added one contact, but I need to add 15 more. When I open the list and click Add Contacts then type the name exactly as it appears in the contacts, it does not find the name. But when I click all contacts, the name is there with a valid email address. This appears to be a bug in Yahoo.

  5. Darkmode = black text on black background when replying

    Hi, when in dark mode (desktop / Chrome), replying to emails changes the conversation of previous emails 'below' to a dark grey on a black background making the text invisible. You need to drag the mouse over it to highlight the text to be able to read. Copy/paste text from other sources has also resulted in that pasted text being invisible against the background.
    Seems there is a bug in these scenarios.
    The light/white scenario has so little distinction between borders/emails it is difficult to determine the layout quickly.
    More UX testing and development required - especially poor for accessibility…

  6. filter by sender is broken

    in the new format, the function to sort by sender to allow quick clean up is not working in Chrome... and it is making me want to abandon Yahoo... as it is too hard to manage the inbox with all the random messages I get.

  8. Attach from Recent Email Attachment Option

    I see the attach from computer option for adding attachments to new emails, but where did the Attach From Recent Email option go? It was very handy and saved time not having to download and reattached. Bring back 'attach from recent email' option.

  9. The Filter option doesn't work

    The Filters don't work. I tried every variation possible. Comas, no comas, contains, begins, from, subject, content. I tried everything to remove some repetitive SPAM content and they keep poping on my SPAM folder, instead of going to the trash, like I costumized. On the other way, mails from the electricity company and others from legit sources, are going to the Trash folder. I checked to see if I have a filter or a word that could filter these messages...and there isn't. I'm so mad, having to check the spam and trash folder constantly.

  12. Search results are obscured

    When searching on a particular word I get results where two results are highlighted at the top as two windows. The remainder of the results appear below these, but no matter how I try to format or change screen size etc. I can see at most one line or even one-half of a line. I cannot expand the remainder of the results and I cannot reduce the size of the top items highlighted at the top. I end up having no way to search my mail.

    Hi Marc, thank you for the feedback and elaborating. Definitely super helpful. Can you share with us your browser, browser version and send us any screenshots to oasis.mail.feedback@yahooinc.com? This would be super helpful in debugging and replicating the issue.

  13. Stop Showing Ads in Yahoo Mail+

    When I signed up for Mail+, one of the key benefits was an ad-free experience across Yahoo. Since then, that benefit has disappeared, and they've even reduced the amount of inbox storage available. Yet I'm still paying for the "no ads" promise.

    So imagine my surprise when I opened my inbox and was greeted by a massive promotion for 50% off the first year of Monarch—presented as a special "perk" for Mail+ users. But let's be honest: it's an ad. And not a subtle one, either. It's huge.

  15. Update subject changes in conversation view

    In conversation view, it does not show when the subject line is changed in the conversation. This is important information to show! Maybe the most important!

  16. Copy/paste an email address

    Why is it impossible to copy/paste an email address?

    For example, in the "To" you add a name. Then, there's no way to click it, to grab the text of the email address.

  19. Contacts List Cut Off

    1) I am not able to add a new contact to my contact list. When I open up New Contact, the box does not provide enough room for me to input the contact data. Only 1/2 of the contact information box is visible, as the contact information box is blocked by the inbox emails to its left. Can this please be fixed.

    2) Also, why did you discontinue "attach document from previous email" as an attachment option when sending documents? The only option is to attach documents from my files. Your previous version was far more user friendly when it…
