  1. What's Gone Wrong?

    This New Yahoo Mail is the worst I have ever seen. Basic was perfect, elegant and functional. New Yahoo Mail is out of focus where once the imagery was sharp and focussed. The email headings are tuck away to one side. I have to manually reduce the size of each email because the only option I have is large! What's gone wrong?

  3. Fjern det nye, trege systemet

    Etter at dere TVANGSINNFØRTE den nye email-designen, valgte jeg å gå tilbake til det gamle (etter å ha funnet det med liten skrift i innstillingene, tølpere) men oppdager at selv om jeg nå har "det gamle oppsettet" igjen, fungerer det MYE tregere. Hele poenget med å beholde yahoo-adressen min som hoved-emailadresse var fordi dere IKKE hadde et tregt system (maskinkrevende), slik som f.eks hotmail/outlink har. Fortsetter dere med dette trege nye systemet blir jeg nødt til å se etter en annen emailtilbyder.

  6. I have someone else's name appearing under my e-mail

    I have someone else's name appearing under my e-mail. I have deleted and re-entered my name several times but when I compose an email or send an e-mail, their name still appears. Should I close/delete my account?

    The old style of Yahoo is very good and popular,,, The new style of Yahoo is very cramped, with many ads on the sides and it is extremely difficult to access it and follow the desired pages,,, If I am not allowed to use the old Yahoo system, I will give up Yahoo, I have talked to a few dozen friends, and they will do the same,,,

  10. Fix the date on the print view to show the correct time zone instead of UTC

    When printing a document, it shows up with UTC at the printout, which is very confusing because you would expect it to show the current time. Also, further down the page, it shows the correct time zone, which makes it even more confusing. Please unify this and stop printing UTC on the top of my printouts. Thank you.

  11. Option "Swith to old Yahoo Mail" does not work

    Option "Swith to old Yahoo Mail" does not work - it does nothing when selected. I've been using Yahoo Classic Mail for over 20 years and don't want to switch to the new layout. Please don't force it on me - I want to stay with Yahoo Classic Mail.

  14. By letting users decide if they want to use it

    How about leaving it alone. All this extra **** I do not want and didn't ask for. I just want the email account that I have had for nearly 20 years to work and be easy to navigate. Every time you "update" it it gets worse. Hopefully you will soon offer the chance to just go back to basic mail. I don't want apps I don't want access to my phone contacts and I certainly don't want AI. It is all useless *****, my email has been fine for 20 odd years now you seem to think I want

  16. show next message option displays previous message

    The "Show next message" setting displays the previous message instead of the next message. The issue is reproducible in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge and by clearing cache. The issue occurs using the move message function from the folder icon and the delete message function. A capture of the issue is provided and at 00:18s where the previous message is displayed when the show next message option is selected. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o0oY9sGHaM

    Secondly, how do users respond for User Voice? Our confusion is there is no Reply option as shown here - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_K9bkHka6E3BORO3W1Tt_tvWy2x3CLKO/view?usp=sharing

  17. MAKE YOUR EMAIL SYSTEM WORK!

    After transferring from comcast.net, I have LOST EMAILS, LOST FOLDERS, EMPTY FOLDERS, and emails I send show in the SENT folder, but recipients including myself never get them and I don't get a message that emails were not sent, and I don't see any outbox which can show emails were not sent!!! SUPPORT IS TOTALLY USELESS!!!

  19. Subject: Security Concern – Ads in Delete Checkbox Triggering Access Attempts

    Subject: Security Concern – Ads in Delete Checkbox Triggering Access Attempts

    Message:

    Hello Yahoo Support,

    I have experienced a serious security issue with my Yahoo Mail account. Twice now, when I clicked the checkbox to delete an email (without opening it), the box contained an advertisement. As soon as I clicked to delete, it attempted to access my PC.

    This means hackers are embedding ads directly into the delete checkbox, so that when users try to remove unknown or suspicious emails, it triggers unauthorised access attempts.

    Please investigate and fix this urgently. The delete function should never expose users to…

  20. Support for old yahoo.com email users

    Don't send me to comcast... I want support from yahoo.com. I'm trying to unsubscribe from bad spam... but it is a vicious circle when it is blocked by my virus protection. Any suggestions?
