  2. Multiple selection

    I am having a LOT of issues with the new Yahoo Inbox. If I try to select all the emails between one and another (click, hold shift, then click) weird things are happening. Sometimes it will also select emails outside the range, it may also miss emails within the range. Please fix this, as it is very annoying.

    Hi Chris, we are not able to replicate this issue. Very sorry! Can you please email us your browser info/version along with a video of this happening? Then we can have our team replicate. Thank you!!

  3. improve "delete" function

    When I want to clean up the "Newsletters", I go into newsletters, select all, and delete. Then to my horror, I find ALL emails in all the other sections are also deleted, and no way to "undo" it.
    Here's a crazy idea: how about making "select all" apply to ONLY the category we are actually in, not to the entire emails for all time. Doesn't that make sense? If I want to clean out "Offers", why in God's name would I want to also clean out all my "Primary" emails? Geez, people, use use some common sense.

    Hi Rick, is this happening on desktop or the app? We knew about this issue and already have a fix for the app, but this wasn't an issue on desktop. This section is for only desktop, please put app feedback in their channels. Thanks!!

  6. Yahoo Calendar Invite Preview

    Even though my timezone is set to Central time EVERY calendar invite I receive from anyone, shows EDT in the preview. This is very confusing and super annoying. This is not device related. It shows up in EDT using different browsers and different devices. The issue is not the sender, it's somewhere in yahoo setting which is impossible to find

  7. Moving messages from Sent box to inbox

    For some reason, yahoo mail has changed in the last week or so. Used to be I could send a message to someone, and then move that sent message back to my inbox so I could remind myself if the person didn't respond. Now when moving that message, it says that it "moved to primary", but it's not there.

    Also yesterday I encountered another new situation that is a change. An incoming messsage dropped into the spam folder that I didn't want to be spam. When I try to move it to the inbox, it will not move there.

  8. 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…

  9. Add a Subscriptions tab to the desktop version

    It is not very easy to find subscriptions from emails like it is in other mails where u can easily go to a subscriptions tab and unsubscribe from there instead of having to go through the emials, I know you can do this on the yahoo app but I cant seem to do this on my desktop so if you could please add a tab on the side for subscriptions. Thank you!

  10. The floating "offers" icon

    While I am reading emails in the Priority tab of my inbox, there is a small "Offers" icon floating between the Priority tab and the list of emails. I want to be able to disable that little floating "offers" icon, because if I wanted to read emails sorted to my Offers tab, I would manually click the Offers tab to read them. I do not need a hovering little icon to remind me there are unread emails in another section.

  12. Keep "reply", "reply all", "forward", "Read/Unread", "Star", "Move", "Delete" & "Spam" buttons positions static.

    In the latest edition of the Yahoo mail, the "reply all" button has been made conditional where it appears or disappears based on whether the email chain has one or more persons on it. When this happens, the location of the delete and spam buttons to move. Previously, I would keep my mouse on the delete button and keep clicking on it as I am going down my emails. Now, when the "reply all" button disappears, the spam button shifts to the location where the delete button used to be. And unintentionally, I end up marking the email as spam…

  14. Protect Starred/Tagged Emails from "Select All" Deletion

    The 'Select All' feature is fantastic for quickly clearing junk. However, when 'Select All' is used, it includes emails that I have already marked as Starred (or otherwise "tagged important").

    My suggestion is that the system should be designed to automatically exclude any emails that are Starred/Tagged Important when the user selects 'Select All' for deletion. This would prevent accidentally deleting priority messages while mass-clearing the inbox.

    In short: Starred/Important emails should be protected from the 'Select All' function for deletion.

  15. external images

    Even though I have external images disabled in my settings, webmail (I'm using Firefox) is displaying those images anyway, with a message saying that they are shown by default, along with a link to the the settings. I've tried changing the setting back and forth just in case, and it still doesn't work.

    This has only started happening with the recent site redesign.

    When I edit an existing Calendar Event - change the date - then click on another field such as the time - the square calendar box where I selected the new date does NOT close. This makes it difficult to select the SAVE button. Please improve this.

  18. file name of attachment

    I sometimes receive emails with Attached files, and it's important for me to easily read the Full File name of the attached files, and I'd like to do this w/o opening the file.

    For example, if I am working on a project with someone and they are sending me attachments with file names that have a rev number in them or other information in the file name that gives me information on the file. I don't see anyway to view the full file name except by downloading the file. I would like to be able to hover my cursor over…

    When I try to reply to an email and I hit the back space, at all, it deletes the entire email. I just hit the back space on a very important thread of emails and it permanently deleted the entire string of emails I have been trying to work out a return for an expensive product for. When an email is in my inbox, it will automatically send it to the trash folder and exit the email if I press the back space and it does this without warning. the reply function/forward seems very buggy and there was also an…
