  1. Fix the "recent emoticon" option.

    When I want to select an emoticon, the recent ones are not available. I have to type into the search to find the icons that I usually use. Why is the clock indicating "recent" not working?
    I did an experiment. I searched for two icons and saw the "recents" until I closed the icon selection box. When I opened it a second later, the recents were forgotten.

  2. Editing or Recalling an e-mail

    Sometimes an e-mail is sent too quickly or hasn't been proof read thoroughly. It would be nice to be able to do edit or recall an e-mail.

  3. can't scroll through folders anymore when dragging message to folder

    It used to be that, when dragging a message to a folder, if there were more folders than could be viewed, you could just drag the message "beyond the bottom" and the folders would scroll up... This no longer works (on new or old yahoomail). instead, I just get a red circle with a slash.

  5. 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.

  8. Sending Videos

    When I send a video of mine from Vimeo- I always got a Thumbprint ID so I knew the video I was sending was correct. With the NEW email I don't get that Thumbprint confirmation. I always wonder if the correct video I'm sending IS correct? You might want to re-add that feature on the NEW email. Other than that aspect it's ok.

  10. calendar needs help

    I don't know what happened but my calendar has changed is basically not at all useful. Anytime I'm invited from an outlook account now - for a teams meeting - there is no link for me to follow to join the meeting. The calendar defaults to a week view - and I have to change it to a month view every time. I like the old one better.

  11. Recent folder list in move button

    It would be great to have the list of the 5 most recent folders on top when you press the move button to move an email to a different folder. Every time you need to do it, you need to locate the folder again and again. Thanks!

  12. You can improve yhoo mail by restoring the ability for users to see the dates they entered in the calendar.

    Dear Yahoo team, please, stop improving the calendar and restore the customer's ability to see the dates I've added that are important for me. Everything has become terrible, and I'm looking for other ways to add them to the calendar from different sources.

  13. 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

  14. 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!!

  15. 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.

  16. 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. Your new update is not effecive

    In Dark Mode, links in a mail's text are not highlighted in color, but in the same color as the rest of the text.

    Links which are not underlined are not recognizable as links.

  18. DARK MODE WHILE COMPOSING IS HORRIBLE!

    I wanted to share some feedback regarding an issue I’ve encountered while using Yahoo Mail in dark mode.

    When I compose an email with dark mode enabled, the editor displays white text on a dark background, which looks fine while drafting. However, I recently noticed that when the email is sent, the text remains white. As a result, recipients with the default white background cannot see the text unless they highlight it.

    This issue makes it extremely difficult to ensure that my messages are readable for recipients. I would like to suggest that when composing emails in dark mode, the…

  19. translation

    Please program a language translation feature for translating emails received in other languages. For example --- If I make a reservation for a hotel in Mexico and receive a message in Spanish, I would like to be able to have the program translate the message to English. At present, I have to forward the message to a Google account to make that possible.

  20. MOVE option not working

    I receive messages from EBAY concerning automatic searches I have set up with them Most of these correctly go to the OFFERS folder but some go to PRIORITY. I select the message in PRIORITY and clicked on MOVE, select MORE OPTIONS. change the pull-down menu to OFFERS and click the MOVE button. The message disappears from PRIORITY. When I click to OFFERS folder, that message from EBAY is not there. I checked the other folder and it is not in either of them. If I go back to the PRIORITY folder, the EBAY message is there.
