  1. 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.

  2. Scheduled emails

    I would like to report an issue I’ve encountered on two separate occasions. I scheduled an email to be sent at a future date, but later decided to send it earlier. I used the “Send now” option, expecting this would cancel the previously scheduled delivery.

    However, in both cases, the recipient informed me that they still received the email again on the originally scheduled date, resulting in a duplicate.

    Could you please look into this and let me know if there is a way to prevent a scheduled email from being sent after using “Send now”?

    Thank you for your…

  3. 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.

    Please fix!!

    Thank you,

  4. sweep email feature for removal of all from specific sender at once

    Yahoo really needs a "sweep" function. I am sure I don't need to describe it, but it allows you to select one or more emails and "sweep" them to a folder, or delete. It removes all emails in the inbox from those specific senders and places them where you select instead of having to do it one by one or clicking beside each email. It makes cleaning an inbox more efficient and is a feature that has been around for a long time. It makes no sense that yahoo mail doesn't have this. Having to delete emails one at a…

  5. Opening email on other than the 1st page

    Using the latest old version of Yahoo mail, it would be nicer if when opening email on other than the 1st page did not auto reset back again to 1st page...just started doing that on both my Edge and G.Chrome browsers.

  6. Draft Delete Is Unnecessarily Permanent and Annoying When Yahoo Mail Screws Up

    Through some wacky error I still not understand my draft email, which took 20-30 minutes to compose, got deleted and is now completely gone. Can you all not move deleted draft emails into the trash instead of deleted forever? Please and thanks. This is really friggin' annoying.

  7. 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?

  8. 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.

  9. 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.…

  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. 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. 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.

  14. subject field cant be editted

    Using google chrome on windows 11 and yahoo mail in that browser. When I compose a new email; if i start to type in the message body field, I am then unable to edit the subject line. I've had this issue through several iterations of google chrome on windows 11.

    No issues in yahoo email in my yahoo app on iOS.
    No issues in old yahoo email. this is only an issue in the new. clearly a bug. sadly yahoo support requires payment to submit bugs

  19. Bug: The forum may be locked and I can't reply to Yahoo staff

    I have opened at least two feedback issues that have been responded to by Yahoo staff. I have no way to follow up because when I go to each page with the issue there's no way to reply and the comments are hidden. All the issue page shows is the original report. Additionally, as I reported in a separate bug, this uservoice forum does not work anymore and I can't see anyone else's ideas. I think that the forum may be locked. I don't know how you expect me to search for duplicates or reply to existing issues if the…

  20. Request to Restore Missing Emails & Folder Name Issue on Yahoo Mail via Outlook

    Dear Yahoo Mail Support,

    I am experiencing an issue with my Yahoo Mail account when using it with Outlook. I have created a new folder in Outlook and moved some emails into it. However, when I rename the folder, it automatically reverts to the original name, and the emails inside disappear.

    I have tried checking my Yahoo Mail via the web, but I could not find the emails in the original folder, Trash, or Spam. Could you please help me restore the missing emails and investigate why folder renaming causes data loss?

    Here are the details of my account and…
