  1. 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.

  2. backspace deletes emails that are being replied to

    When I try to reply to an email and I hit the back space, at all, it deletes the entire email. I just hit the back space on a very important thread of emails and it permanently deleted the entire string of emails I have been trying to work out a return for an expensive product for. When an email is in my inbox, it will automatically send it to the trash folder and exit the email if I press the back space and it does this without warning. the reply function/forward seems very buggy and there was also an…

  3. external images

    Even though I have external images disabled in my settings, webmail (I'm using Firefox) is displaying those images anyway, with a message saying that they are shown by default, along with a link to the the settings. I've tried changing the setting back and forth just in case, and it still doesn't work.

    This has only started happening with the recent site redesign.

  4. Cannot Accept Teams Invite

    There is nowhere i can accept an invite for a Teams meeting when party send an invite. please fix this. Not only can I not accept the invite, I cannot even see the time the invite was sent for. How embarrassing. Yahoo is not keeping up with the times, and it may be time to switch to a new email service.

  5. Keep on current email, without jumping around; then have to scroll up or down to find where you were at!!!!

    Please make it so one does not have to jump around after viewing an email, to have to navigate to go where you first were. I was able to change the option of deleting an email(it comes back to where you were first viewing), BUT if you just view an email and exit out--you are not where the original email was. Please STOP the 'jumping around movement' of where we are currently viewing. It definitely makes for a longer period of viewing email than I want to spend.

  6. Tabs are hard to close now.

    The new "tabs" are ****. You have to hover in just the right spot to get the X to close it, and then it sometimes disappears before you can click it and you have to try the hover move again.

  7. emails keep jumping up to first email

    As I scroll through my emails, whenever I open one, then close it to continue scrolling instead of seeing the next email in the list, the list jumps back up to the first email. This is frustrating and time consuming. CAN YOU FIX THIS PROBLEM?

  8. contacts

    The contacts tab should be optional to view, I do not need it, and it takes up unnecessary screen space for message views.

  9. Remove Unsubscribe button from subject line, it is already in the email body.

    Remove the Unsubscribe button from the subject line, it is already in the email body. Users erroneously click on it far too frequently.

  11. SPAM

    Thank you for making selection of the SPAM folder easier. Before, it was so buried I ended up having to take too much time deleting all the spam and making sure I didn't delete valid emails.

  12. Connect multiple Comcast mailboxes after migrating to Yahoo

    I have more than one email from my years at Comcast.net and use one as my primary, and another as secondary. There seems to be no way, after a half hour of working at it, to combine another (or ANY) Comcast Mailbox. Options are there for Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL, and 'Other.' Nothing seems to work.
    I still want to be able to use the one sign in to monitor all my email accounts.
    Please advise if this is possible, and my best steps to make it happen.
    Thanks

  13. FWD msg to recipient

    The last time there was a yahoo update a feature seemed to change.
    Now, when i hit forward on an email, it DOESNT automatically put the cursor in the TO field for the recipient. Im not sure where its selected, but it needs to go back to that, like it is on every other mail platform. When you fwd to someone, I should be able to start typing the address without first having to click in the TO field. thanks!!

  14. Scroll bar does not work right for moving messages to folders when starting from one message that is being read

    The scroll bar to move down the list of folders does not work right when moving a message to a folder, but this problem only happens when I'm starting from one message being read.

    Everything is okay if I start from the message list.

    Basically, the scroll bar only scrolls within the window. This makes it hard to reach the folder I want, especially since I have a large number of folders.

  15. Email Attachments

    This a bug more than an idea. When attaching PDF files I have had on a number of occasions the recipient reply the PDF is blank. I verified the PDF on my computer or phone and I can see it on my side it is filled out. I download the attachment from Yahoo Mail and I see the PDF is blank. The workaround I have had to use is send the email from another email provider and then forward that email.

  16. Email alias

    I love the new interface along with All mailboxes in one view. Easy short cuts to delete emails and navigate through.

    One issue I saw - not sure if I'm not doing it right, I have couple of alias emails on my gmail workspace, I dont see a way to reply from the email alias I received the email to.

  17. refresh glitch

    I'm using latest Google Chrome. During checking emails and deleting, Yahoo Mail keeps refreshing and putting me back to the top when I was scrolling down a couple of hundred emails. I have to scroll down to find my spot, but then refreshes again and I can never get lower than a 100 emails or so. Also, while writing from a saved draft, Yahoo Mail refreshes and puts me out or opens a new draft, or scrolls down to the bottom of the message. Then finally, the draft disappeared and is nowhere to be found!!! Please bring the old Yahoo…

  18. Replying to emails in threads

    Its getting very difficult to reply in the thread emails. Whenever I type its hides the above lines and I have to scroll up all the time; moreover, if I copy and paste then it takes me to the last message and if the email thread is long then I have search for my message again to send it.

  19. Can not forward emails with attachments

    As in a few days ago I could not forward emails with attachments. I have to go to the old version to do so.
    Also, I do not know why now every attachment gets copied twice. If I send an email with 5 attachments when I go back to my email now it has 10 files.

    How often are you allowed to make changes? It is taking way too long for these things to get fixed.

  20. email drafts disappearing as I type??

    Why are my email drafts suddenly disappearing as I type them? They suddenly vanish and can't be found anywhere in the system??
