  1. Scrolling through mail is jumpy as it skips emails

    Scrolling through email is impossible. I use the scroll wheel on my mouse to look through email as I use a pc. I can start at the top and after one or two short scrolls down it jumps down so I miss several hours of emails For example, my newest email came at 6:12pm today..After I get down to 4:20pm it jumps to mail received at 1pm without my even scrolling and when I go back up I see I missed 32 emails received. No matter how many times I go back to the top and try again it always…

  2. Bring back the right-click "Create Filter" option

    Hello,

    I hope you're doing well.

    Since the recent Yahoo Mail update, I've noticed that the "Create Filter" option no longer appears in the right-click menu when I right-click an email.

    I used this feature regularly, as it made it quick and easy to create filters and organise incoming messages into folders. It was a really useful part of my workflow, and I miss having it available.

    Would you please consider restoring this option in a future update? I think it would be a valuable improvement for users who rely on filters to keep their inbox organised.

    Thank you very…

  3. Manage Storage tab

    Just received a Yahoo! email about the Manage Storage tab. I'm pretty sure I've seen my storage is at around 15GB but I can't recall where now. Anyway. Well let's go check out the Manage Storage tab then...
    Why does the Manage Storage tab not indicate how much storage an account is currently using? Shouldn't that be the most important information on that page, seeing there are offers to extend it? Seems like a super logical thing to do.

  4. Fix the date on the print view to show the correct time zone instead of UTC

    When printing a document, it shows up with UTC at the printout, which is very confusing because you would expect it to show the current time. Also, further down the page, it shows the correct time zone, which makes it even more confusing. Please unify this and stop printing UTC on the top of my printouts. Thank you.

  5. Bug Report: Yahoo Mail Print View Displays UTC Instead of Local Time

    In the new Yahoo Mail interface, clicking the Print button opens the NOVATION_APP print page, which displays email dates in UTC instead of my local time zone (Pacific Time). The inbox shows the correct local time. Old Yahoo Mail prints the correct local time. This occurs in both Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome and began about a week ago.

  6. Kindly include a Favourites group in which folders which are mostly used can be included

    Kindly include a Favourites group in which folders which are mostly used can be included. It will enable users to quickly access the most important folders to them. This feature is present in Outlook

  7. Stop Blocking the Navigation Bar with "Undo Delete"

    This "new thing" is obtrusive and considerably annoying. You moved it up and out of the way for a couple of days yet now IT'S BACK. Get rid of it....move it up...whatever. I'm about an inch away from going back to Outlook. That's how much some of us hate this "led by the nose" experience with Yahoo Mail!

  8. show next message option displays previous message

    The "Show next message" setting displays the previous message instead of the next message. The issue is reproducible in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge and by clearing cache. The issue occurs using the move message function from the folder icon and the delete message function. A capture of the issue is provided and at 00:18s where the previous message is displayed when the show next message option is selected. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o0oY9sGHaM

    Secondly, how do users respond for User Voice? Our confusion is there is no Reply option as shown here - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_K9bkHka6E3BORO3W1Tt_tvWy2x3CLKO/view?usp=sharing

  9. Folder pinning

    There needs to be a way to pin frequently used folders instead of burying them under a folder icon.

  11. After selecting a folder from the Move drop down, keep that location for the next Move

    When an email is to be moved to a folder and you select a folder from the Move dropdown, the next time you want to do the same thing, the Move dropdown has returned to the top folder.

    Fix: Keep the top Dropdown folder showing the last one used. It used to work this way.

    If you reply to an email, that crates 2 emails for the one sent. To move them both into the same folder, you select file from the Inbox, select the Move dropdown, scroll to the folder and move the file. Then go to the Sent…

  13. 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!
