  2. Cannot scroll to the send button

    Problem: When composing, the page will not scroll down to the "send" button any longer on any browser that I have. I have to make the zoom very small to get to the send button. I have bad eyes and cannot use my email that way. (PC, Windows 11)

    Solution: Either put a "send" button at the top like there used to be on older versions or fix the scrolling issue.

  3. 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

  4. Mail preview issue

    Thank you for the new Yahoo Mail, I really like it. However, there’s an issue — even though I turned off the mail preview option in the settings, previews still appear in the emails.

  5. 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!!

  6. Error Messages

    When ever I try to "forward" any messages that have an attachment It will not go through and I get an error message "AN ERROR OCCURRED" message immediately followed by another error message that says: "MESSAGE COULD NOT BE SAVED AS DRAFT".
    This is so frustrating.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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. 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

  12. 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.

  13. 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??
    Where are they going????? They just get deleted and can't be recalled. Is there a way to search and find deleted rafts?

  14. Duplicated Attachments

    This is NOT an idea. This is a BUG in the product. When you send an attachment it is duplicating the attached files. For instance, I sent 8 files attached (pdf, xls) and when I see the sent message, it duplicated 8 files to 16 files. This is a basic functionality for an email.

  15. Bug report: deleting draft forward email, deletes the original email too

    This is a bug report with the "forward" and "draft" feature.
    When I delete a "draft" email that is a draft "forward", it also deletes the original email.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open an email
    2. Press the "forward" button
    3. A "new message" will appear with the forwarded email
    4. Close the app, or go back, or navigate out. Any of these actions will save your mail as a "draft"
    5. Open your drafts
    6. Delete the new message that is a "forward". Confirm that you want to delete this "draft" email.
    7. Check your inbox
    8. Expected result:…

  17. In Dark Mode, links in a mail's text are not highlighted in color

    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.
