  1. Return to top of inbox

    Two suggestions to improve the user experience in Yahoo Mail

    1) After moving an email into a folder, the screen always reverts to the top of the inbox . . . which can be inconvenient if you are working your way through your inbox to file away emails (i.e. every time you move an email to a folder, you then have to scroll back down through your inbox to find where you left off). It would be helpful if the inbox could stay in the same spot as opposed to reverting to the top.

    2) When dragging a selected email…

  2. Scheduled emails

    I would like to report an issue I’ve encountered on two separate occasions. I scheduled an email to be sent at a future date, but later decided to send it earlier. I used the “Send now” option, expecting this would cancel the previously scheduled delivery.

    However, in both cases, the recipient informed me that they still received the email again on the originally scheduled date, resulting in a duplicate.

    Could you please look into this and let me know if there is a way to prevent a scheduled email from being sent after using “Send now”?

    Thank you for your…

  3. Yahoo Mail Search History

    There is no way to Permanently Clear your Yahoo Mail Search History, You can delete a mail history item but it will reappear when you next sign-on to Yahoo even if you clear all cookies in all Browsers.

    Please fix!!

    Thank you,

  4. sweep email feature for removal of all from specific sender at once

    Yahoo really needs a "sweep" function. I am sure I don't need to describe it, but it allows you to select one or more emails and "sweep" them to a folder, or delete. It removes all emails in the inbox from those specific senders and places them where you select instead of having to do it one by one or clicking beside each email. It makes cleaning an inbox more efficient and is a feature that has been around for a long time. It makes no sense that yahoo mail doesn't have this. Having to delete emails one at a…

  5. Scheduled message not in Sent folder

    I sent a message using the "schedule" feature. Before it was sent, it was in the "Scheduled" folder. However, after it was sent, I can't find it anywhere. I know it was sent, because the recipient responded. I would expect my original message to be in the Sent folder.

  6. Storage limit link from your email doesn't work

    You sent me an email saying, "check your current storage limit in account settings here"--but the link does not take me to a page that says anything about storage limits. Very frustrating.

  7. Search in one folder

    Your last update removed the ability to limit a search to one specific folder (e.g. "Inbox") or across all folders. Please restore this ability--I consider it a must have for joyful usage of your mail service.

  8. selecting emails

    Your multi-select function for emails (check boxes) is broken and it is extremely frustrating. I reported this before, a few months ago.

    I often use mutli-select to select 10-20 emails at a time for deletion. If while selecting emails, I click just slightly outside the box, your Javascript often decides that I am putting these emails in a folder. They disappear, but aren't deleted. They go into one of my folders.

    Sometimes, the folders flicker onto the screen for a microsecond during this glitch. Other times not.

    Please correct this. The volume of emails most people receive daily necessitates a…

  9. Opening email on other than the 1st page

    Using the latest old version of Yahoo mail, it would be nicer if when opening email on other than the 1st page did not auto reset back again to 1st page...just started doing that on both my Edge and G.Chrome browsers.

  10. Draft Delete Is Unnecessarily Permanent and Annoying When Yahoo Mail Screws Up

    Through some wacky error I still not understand my draft email, which took 20-30 minutes to compose, got deleted and is now completely gone. Can you all not move deleted draft emails into the trash instead of deleted forever? Please and thanks. This is really friggin' annoying.

  11. Make it harder to accidentally delete Draft emails

    I have accidentally deleted at least 5 draft emails from my draft folder while I was trying to edit them over the last few months. Maybe there is a problem with my keyboard, but when I'm in a draft email and use the delete key to remove some text, sometimes it just deletes the whole email from my draft folder. And, I guess because it's a draft, it doesn't go to the trash folder, it's just GONE. I've lost easily 6+ HOURS of work because of one keystroke doing something it's not supposed to do. I don't know if I'm…

  14. Feature Request: Follow-Up Reminders in Yahoo Mail

    Dear Yahoo Mail Team,

    I’d like to suggest a useful feature that could enhance Yahoo Mail's functionality: follow-up reminders for emails. Gmail has an option that automatically reminds users to follow up on emails they haven't received replies to, helping to ensure important conversations don’t get lost.

    A similar feature in Yahoo Mail would be incredibly beneficial for users who manage busy inboxes and need a prompt to revisit unanswered emails. Having a built-in follow-up reminder would improve email organization and efficiency.

    I’d love to hear your thoughts on this idea and whether Yahoo Mail might consider implementing something similar.…

  15. 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…

  16. restore deleted draft

    My computer has been acting up the last few days and has been deleting drafts while I am typing them which only frustrating because when a draft email is deleted it is deleted permanently and the yahoo website says it cannot be restored. Can we please change this setting so that a draft email goes into the trash rather than being permanently deleted? Its extremely frustrating to be halfway through a one page email with a lot of detail to then have it be completely deleted.

  18. edit subject in draft

    When composing an email, if I click in the text field without first typing in the Subject field, I am unable to go back and edit the Subject Field. The only workaround that I've found is to make a change in the To field first, then it lets you edit Subject. This is annoying.

  20. subject field cant be editted

    Using google chrome on windows 11 and yahoo mail in that browser. When I compose a new email; if i start to type in the message body field, I am then unable to edit the subject line. I've had this issue through several iterations of google chrome on windows 11.

    No issues in yahoo email in my yahoo app on iOS.
    No issues in old yahoo email. this is only an issue in the new. clearly a bug. sadly yahoo support requires payment to submit bugs
