  1. The "Drafts" icon no longer shows the number of active drafts

    In the old version I was able to see how many drafts were currently in the Drafts folder.

    This is no longer possible for some reason

    Please fix.

  2. 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…

  4. Tabs are hard to close now.

    The new "tabs" are ****. You have to hover in just the right spot to get the X to close it, and then it sometimes disappears before you can click it and you have to try the hover move again.

  5. How do you turn off the feature "Continue scrolling to load next email" that appears at the bottom of an email.

    This new feature is driving me crazy. If I want to open the next email, I'll do it on my own. Don't need to have this happen automatically just b/c I've scrolled all the way to the bottom of the email. Please give us the ability to turn this annoying and unnecessary feature off.

  6. Improve Windows Desktop performance (runs like a dog on multiple browser since rollout a couple of months ago)

    Ever since you migrated the Yahoo Mail to a new Windows Desktop a couple of months ago, it has run like an absolute DOG!!! I can't imagine that others aren't reporting this to you.

    I'm running on an HP EDGE laptop, Windows 11 Home Edition (with latest 25H2 and other updates):
    11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz (2.80 GHz)
    32.0 GB (31.8 GB usable) RAM
    64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
    I'm also running updated EDGE, Firefox and Chrome browsers. I've also tried this on Norton private browser and Duck-Duck-Go browser.

    Problem: when migrating between folders, deleting emails or moving…

  7. Return to displaying email address of possible scam site

    Display of possible scam site address in messages helps in trying to identify suspicious email sources. Why was this function removed in the "New Yahoo Mail" set-up? It was very helpful & was advised as an online safety check by at least 2 sources. Where did it go?
    And there is more, much more, changes in "New Yahoo Mail" set-up that are mind boggling.

  8. Prevent screen from jumping to Scam listing after selecting & inputting Scam from inmail

    Honestly, after all these years with Yahoo mail and calendar, I am actively looking for a replacement. What a mess both mail and calendar have become. And why? Calendar colors are so dark and garish that I can't read my text in any given day. Must change all my reminders to some color that becomes chartreuse on my PC screen. And so much more. I even switched back to the "old version" of mail, but screens there are now jumping around. Please note, I am 85 yrs old and really depended on my Yahoo calendar for so many things. And,…

  9. Re-enable Page Down/Page Up in Yahoo email

    The Page Down/Page Up buttons no longer work inside emails in Yahoo. That means I have to scroll down using the scroll bar on the right. Virtually all other offerings enable Page Down/Up, e.g. GMail. In fact, this used to work in Yahoo before Yahoo "upgraded" email. Very unproductive as it is now.

  10. 1) Show the latest emails on top when it is part of previous email string or response. 2) The attchements get disappeared during when I send

    I am your paid customer and have been using Yahoo Mail since 1993, but your service need attention which is not User friendly now.
    1) How do you see the latest email on TOP, so your customers don't have to spend time scrolling down? This should be logical, but your email keeps the OLD on top which is annoying.
    2) My attachment disappears after I respond to the original email. This is also annoying and waste my time.
    Previous version of your Yahoo Mail did not have these problems.

  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. move the dialog box 1/2 inch higher

    When I delete an email, a little dialog box appears telling me that the message was deleted (moved, etc). Perfect. Love that! But the box appears right over the task bar and as I move on the delete the next email, the dialog box is right over the trash can... so I either have to x out the dialog box (which is an extra step every time) or wait until the dialog box disappears (which slows me down). If the box was like 1/2 inch higher... it would be perfect! thanks.
