  1. Problem with cursor while composing

    I am a long-time yahoo mail user. There is a problem with using Yahoo email while composing messages and how that interracts with advertisements cycling to new ones. When a new ad populates, it steals the cursor from the compose window causing any further keystrokes to be seen as hotkeys. This is a major usability issue that needs to be resolved as it makes yahoo mail nearly unusable while composing emails of any length. Please address.

  2. Let us OPT OUT of these motivational "challenge" notifications in email

    These are very annoying for people who don't need to be motivated to do what we're already doing. I want LESS clutter in clearing my inbox, not something else I need to click off. I don't want these motivational things like, "You're doing great! Keep it up!" just for clearing my trash bin or sent emails periodically, which I've done for years anyway. The only notifications I want from Yahoo are when I have emails I need to open that someone has sent me, or if there is a problem in some way with my account. NOTHING else. Please give…

  4. Improved Calendar Event Editing

    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.

  6. Creating A List

    I am trying to create a list in Yahoo mail. I successfully created the list and added one contact, but I need to add 15 more. When I open the list and click Add Contacts then type the name exactly as it appears in the contacts, it does not find the name. But when I click all contacts, the name is there with a valid email address. This appears to be a bug in Yahoo.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  10. 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…

  11. 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!

  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…

  13. 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.

  15. 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…

  19. Can not forward emails with attachments

    As in a few days ago I could not forward emails with attachments. I have to go to the old version to do so.
    Also, I do not know why now every attachment gets copied twice. If I send an email with 5 attachments when I go back to my email now it has 10 files.

    How often are you allowed to make changes? It is taking way too long for these things to get fixed.
