  2. Display folders on the side bar

    I would prefer if the folders section was always visible on the left sidebar. Currently, having to click "Folders" and then select a specific folder adds unnecessary steps to the workflow. Ideally, the folders should be displayed by default for quick access.

  3. Draft emails just delete while you are working on them

    Three times I have been writing an email and suddenly yahoo just says your email has been deleted. It just happened to me 11:47am 6/20/25 AZ time. I am so frustrated. I don't know why this happens and how to stop it.

  4. CSS Media Queries break when Dark Mode is active

    Hi there! I love the new Yahoo interface. However when Dark Mode is activated, CSS media queries seem to be broken by the interface. A full bug report with screenshots is here: https://github.com/hteumeuleu/email-bugs/issues/159.

  6. 'Schedule Send' and 'Undo Send' across all platforms

    I’ve noticed that the Yahoo Android mail app includes the “schedule send” and “undo send” options, which are handy features I regularly rely on. However, these options aren’t currently available when using Yahoo Mail on a web browser. Since these features greatly enhance the user experience and help set Yahoo Mail apart, it would be fantastic to see them implemented consistently across all platforms. Since the backend already supports these functionalities, extending them across all platforms seems like a great addition. Would you consider adding this to your future updates?

  7. Account switcher broken

    The new account switcher (in the upper right) is seriously broken - it only shows 3 accounts after I click on "Add or switch accounts", when I have 4 active accounts. Worse, it doesn't show the most recently used account. For example, I recently switched from account A to account B. Now, when I select "Add or switch accounts", it shows me accounts B, C, and D. There's no way for me to get back to account A!!! Seriously broken. Also, why the extra click on "Add or switch accounts"? - This is an extra, unnecessary step. I switch accounts…

  8. Search by Sender

    One of the key features I use quite frequently is the "Search by Sender". I get lots of emails from specific vendors like Rumble, Zillow, and other vendors that send me notifications. In the past, I click on the "..." and I can select Search Sender, and I can find all my emails. With the new interface, you have to open the email and select "Search Sender". Why move this function to an actual email? For EMAIL management, this capability should be a mailbox feature, not a specific email feature.

  9. Bug: Firefox Does Not Paste URL's at Insertion Point but Puts Link at the Top of the Page

    When composing the body of a message in the New Yahoo Mail in Firefox, (and only in Firefox) URL links do not appear where the insertion point is when pasted into the body of a message. Instead, the link goes to the top of the page.

  10. Bug: Page elements can appear cut off

    Sometimes I will open an e-mail in the new yahoo mail for desktop and the page elements will adjust incorrectly. The entire message pane goes upward and the compose button almost disappears. I took a screenshot https://i.imgur.com/yWpjiCx.png

  12. Autosave glitch in Drafts

    While working on a draft from the Drafts folder, about once per minute I get bounced to the next draft in the list in mid-typing.
    I believe this might be triggered by autosave, as it doesn't seem to occur when I haven't made any changes.

  13. clicking outside the selector box of an email cancels all selected emails for deletion

    This drives me nuts. When i'm cleaning out emails, junk or otherwise, by selecting emails by clicking the box next to them, if i miss a box ALL the emails i've selected get de-selected. Then i have to go through it again. Huge pain. Please fix this.

  16. When selecting sort - it should remain as the choice you want; should not reset each time

    I sort so that "unread" is first and then when I return to the screen it sorts right back to newest first. If I select the sort option it should stick to that choice until I change to a different choice. Ridiculous - no wonder everyone hates the new version. Stupid.

  17. Number of TOTAL emails - Not Just Unread

    I would like to be able to see the number of total items in my inbox without having to hover or take an extra step. I know you can see the number of unread items by hovering but I would like to know the total number of items read and unread without having to hover.

  18. Allow sort by size in email

    If you are going to limit storage size it would be great if, like with outlook, we could see which emails are the main culprits, like I can in outlook. Its often the back and forth with a big powerpoint presentation or photos from my sister that can be deleted to give me months of additional normal mail space. But if I cant sort by size......

    Think about it. Help us manage the size by deleting our BIG emails. Thx

  19. links jump to beginning of email

    when typing out an email, and trying to paste in a URL, say for a restaurant menu - it gets shoved to the start of the email??? I cannot post a URL in the body of an email? Crazy, weird? WHY?
