  1. Deleting Emails more sufficiently

    I used to be able to click on a box above the emails that selected all of them and I could delete, now I have to go one by one to delete. Is there any way to go back to the old Mail?

  2. Return to same position in Inbox when closing an email

    Very frustrating and anoying -- when marching through emails in your Inbox / Folder to view them in the new Yahoo Mail UI (which looks like Gmail UI), you will not return to the same place in the Inbox list when you close the email you were viewing. You have to scroll around the list to re-find your last position to look at the next email.

  3. Delete All in Spam Folder

    What happened to the Choose All button in the Spam folder? A few days ago I could click on that and clean out the Spam folder. Now that button is missing. Jeezuz. Who's in charge of this disaster, this "new and not-improved" email???

  4. Put the list back

    Where is the idea list? How can I search ideas if you you remove the list? What's WRONG with you? Is there a competent person under 30 (40?) in the workforce these days? Or is this even handled by humans at all?

  5. Delete Trash.

    Up until about a week ago, there was the ability to select to delete all of the items in the Trash. That option is no longer available.
    Please bring it back.

  6. Draft email not saved

    What happened to "draft" emails? I accidentally closed an email I was drafting, and it disappeared. In the past, any draft was automatically saved in "drafts". But not this time. Please advise or correct. Thank you.

  7. Feature Request: Follow-Up Reminders in Yahoo Mail

    Dear Yahoo Mail Team,

    I’d like to suggest a useful feature that could enhance Yahoo Mail's functionality: follow-up reminders for emails. Gmail has an option that automatically reminds users to follow up on emails they haven't received replies to, helping to ensure important conversations don’t get lost.

    A similar feature in Yahoo Mail would be incredibly beneficial for users who manage busy inboxes and need a prompt to revisit unanswered emails. Having a built-in follow-up reminder would improve email organization and efficiency.

    I’d love to hear your thoughts on this idea and whether Yahoo Mail might consider implementing something similar.…

  8. drafts appearing in inbox

    1. compose a message.
    2. X out of it. RESULT: after a few moments, the message appears in your Inbox. It does not appear in your drafts. EXPECT: It should appear in drafts and not in Inbox.

    Sometimes multiple intermediate drafts appear in your inbox.

  9. 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…

  11. restore deleted draft

    My computer has been acting up the last few days and has been deleting drafts while I am typing them which only frustrating because when a draft email is deleted it is deleted permanently and the yahoo website says it cannot be restored. Can we please change this setting so that a draft email goes into the trash rather than being permanently deleted? Its extremely frustrating to be halfway through a one page email with a lot of detail to then have it be completely deleted.

  12. Bug in mail filters

    Mail filters are broken since May 28th, 2025. If an incoming email matches two filters, previously the filter that was higher in the filter list was applied. Now it seems some arbitrary rule is used to determine which rule gets applied in such cases. I have a filter on the "From" field and another filter on the "To" field for incoming emails. If an email matches both filters and the "From" field filter is above the "To" field filter, previously the former filter took precedence. However, since May 28th, 2025, the "To" field filter always takes precedence regardless of its…

  14. 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…

  15. Disappearing emails....

    Darn it!!!!!! Was in the process of writing an important email when a box kept asking, every few seconds, if I wanted to "leave the page" or "stay on the page". In each instance I checked "STAY". After a series of this message, the EMAIL DISAPPEARED INTO OBLIVION. IT IS NOT IN THE DRAFTS, SENT, TRASH FOLDERS!!!!!
    What are you people doing? Is this your way of destroying what was a well-functioning service? Thank you for continuing to "improve" on this mess.

  16. edit subject in draft

    When composing an email, if I click in the text field without first typing in the Subject field, I am unable to go back and edit the Subject Field. The only workaround that I've found is to make a change in the To field first, then it lets you edit Subject. This is annoying.

  17. Ctrl+Shift+V

    In Chrome browser on a Windows laptop, Ctrl+Shift+V usually means "paste as plain text" but when I use that in Yahoo! mail it actually sends the email (prematurely) with no way to call it back. Please make Ctrl+Shift+V paste text instead of sending the email.

  19. Yahoo Mail Search History

    There is no way to Permanently Clear your Yahoo Mail Search History, You can delete a mail history item but it will reappear when you next sign-on to Yahoo even if you clear all cookies in all Browsers.
