  2. Undo Send

    Sometimes an e-mail is sent too quickly or hasn't been proof read thoroughly. It would be nice to be able to do edit or recall an e-mail.

  3. Conversation View

    Reading and responding to emails within a chain is almost entirely unusable. You don't need to include the entire chain of responses with every reply it makes is so confusing and unreadable.

  4. Images continue to show despite changing setting, this is unsafe

    I want to use the new Yahoo mail but it feels unsafe to do so until the images are truly blocked. They are still there for me. But when I switch to the older version they are gone.

  5. 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.

    Bring back the tab button to mean "Indent". I was typing a work email, hit tab to indent, and the send button lit up.

  7. Fixing Issues with Fonts

    I would like the Font that I selected in my Yahoo Mail settings to function when I write an email. I chose Classic- Medium. When I write an email, the font automatically reverts to Classic, Tiny. I have to consistently change the font while writing the email to Classic Medium. Can you fix this ongoing issue?

  8. 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.

  9. Ads: Fake Checkboxes - Looks Like an Email

    Ads in my inbox should not be permitted to look like a checkbox to get clicks.

    I had an ad with a box that appeared to be a checkbox, I clicked and it took me to what appeared to be a malicious link. I think it is likely something as a scare tactic to sell some form of PC protection service.

  10. Have differnt Star Colors

    I was thinking it would be great if the user could change the star color from just red. I personally star a tone of emails but they are for different things like work, purchase orders, medical and so on. So for example, I could star my work emails with a yellow star and for medical a blue star and so on. Just food for thought.

  12. Attach from Recent Email Attachment Option

    I see the attach from computer option for adding attachments to new emails, but where did the Attach From Recent Email option go? It was very handy and saved time not having to download and reattached. Bring back 'attach from recent email' option.

  13. Copy/paste an email address

    Why is it impossible to copy/paste an email address?

    For example, in the "To" you add a name. Then, there's no way to click it, to grab the text of the email address.

  14. Contacts List Cut Off

    1) I am not able to add a new contact to my contact list. When I open up New Contact, the box does not provide enough room for me to input the contact data. Only 1/2 of the contact information box is visible, as the contact information box is blocked by the inbox emails to its left. Can this please be fixed.

    2) Also, why did you discontinue "attach document from previous email" as an attachment option when sending documents? The only option is to attach documents from my files. Your previous version was far more user friendly when it…

  15. When I select "full calendar" I can only see today's calendar instead of a monthly calendar.

    Can only see today's calendar, not a week or monthly calendar of events. This greatly diminishes value of the calendar. Give back the weekly monthly and year calendars. We are not fans of the new Yahoo.

  16. email preferences

    Where is the preference/option/setting to fix the way my email is displayed? I am scrolling through ONE email chain that has dozens of replies, and they seem to be out of order. I can't tell which end of the chain is the beginning and which is the end without doing an (unnecessary) analysis of the date/time stamps on each message.

    Give me an easily accessible way to "sort" the email ascending or descending by date/time.

  18. why do emails written and hit send--disappear with no trace?

    Why do emails written and ready to send, hit send and sometimes get an error "email cannot be saved as draft". The fully composed email no longer shows up anywhere---not in draft, not in sent, not in inbox. NOWHERE--as if it was never written. This has happened several times to important emails. They vanish without a trace. The former email never had this problem. This is an urgent issue.

  19. Bug: Deleting a draft deletes entire conversation email thread

    When I delete a single draft email within a conversation email thread, the entire email thread is permanently deleted instead of just the draft. This is a serious data loss issue. Drafts should be treated as separate items within a thread and not control the existence of the entire conversation. Please fix this behavior immediately in Yahoo! Mail.

  20. home page layout

    your new layout is TERRIBLE. I cannot access the down arrow for subfolders and cannot get into most of my files in those folders. There is no option in Setting that I can find to make adjustments. I need HELP IMMEDIATELY to get into my Inbox files. To be clear the Expand arrows pointing downward do not show up on the right because the left shoulder is too narrow and I cannot adjust it.
