  1. Spam/filtering

    Not an idea but a note. Spam filtering has gotten pretty bad lately. I've been getting a ton more **** emails in my inbox over the last few weeks.

    So i guess I do have an idea. It would be great if there was a filter option that allowed you to filter out emails that say they are from one sender but the email address in no way aligns with that name. Ie if I get an email that says it is from "AARP Membership Offer" but the email is "sunflower@ame-delivery.artmakingenuity.com", that is spam and I do not…

  3. STOP the random / unwanted automatic "jump to the top"

    Just recently my inbox has begun to have a mind of its own. When I scroll down to pick an email to read, while I'm reading that email the list of other emails on the left jumps back up to the top - which then requires me to scroll back down to where I was in order to pick up where I left off in selecting the emails I want to read right then. It's so annoying!!! Please make it stop!!!!

  4. Select all e-mail

    Please bring back the ability to select numerous emails at one time to delete. The select feature only allows you to choose one at a time. The feature you took away that allowed you to choose all emails on a given day was very useful.

  6. Please allow users to mark NOT SPAM and not continue dumping emails into spam

    Please allow users to mark NOT SPAM and not continue dumping emails into spam. I continue to mark emails as NOT SPAM, and new emails from this sender continue to end up in spam. These are work emails I don't get on a timely basis because they continue to get dumped in SPAM. Please fix this!

  7. 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.

  8. Message cannot be saved as draft.

    Using Yahoo! to access my AOL email account, I often encounter an error when drafting an email with an attachment. It can be PDF, JPEG, etc. File size is often less than 1 or 2MB. Most recently, my .jpeg file was 232KB. It attaches a broken file and returns an error saying "Message cannot be saved as draft." It also fails to send. Please fix!

  9. Duplicate attachments

    It seems that all my old emails now have the attachments duplicated. For example if the original email had attachment X, attachment Y, and attachment Z it now still has those been then it also has a second copy of attachment X, attachment, Y and attachment Z. This has just seemed to start happening in the last few weeks and I do not understand why. I have had the free yahoo mail service for almost 20 years and recently noticed that yahoo mail is now putting storage limits on this account type and wanting those with large amounts of data…

  11. 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…

  12. 14" SCREEN TROUBLE

    I use a 14" screen laptop. The new yahoo display often hides the send button, I can not scroll down far enough.
    The yahoo search bar covers the tabs at the top - back, delete tabs.
    This affects both reading incoming emails and writing emails.
    I'd like to go back to the older version if there is no fix to this. Please help.
    I have tried making the email images smaller so I can reach the bottom of the email, to no avail.

  13. 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

  14. 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.

  15. Deleting mail should not take you back to top of the list

    When clicking in the trash can item on the list of emails (web version new ui), it deletes the email but it takes you back to the top of the list. So to check the next email, I have to scroll down the list to find where I am. I will probably delete the next email, which then takes me back to the top of the list and I have to scroll again. This endeless scrolling when cleaning mail emails are very annoying.

  16. 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?

  17. 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.

  18. 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:…
