  2. Yahoo must stop misleading its customers with false offers of storage plans

    As an Australian customer I received several emails from Yahoo advising me that I could buy a 100GB storage plan for A$3.49 per months. I repeat, $3.49 per month. When I tried to sign up, the link converted to a US price and told me it was not available in my region, ie Australia,

    Why is Yahoo deliberately misleading its non-US customers with fake offers?

  3. Bring back the search in arrow when you want to search the entire email for one category.

    Bring back the search in arrow when you want to search the entire email for one category. And if you want to move emails to a folder, show it as moved.

  4. Allow users to open emails indepdently, as new tabs.

    It's inconvenient not be able to open the emails I select as new tabs, rather than having to go back and forth between opened emails and the rest of the Inbox.

  5. Please do not hold back outgoing emails in draft folder. Pls send the emails right away

    Hello Yahoo Support,
    I’m reaching out because I’ve had persistent problems sending emails from my Yahoo account since mid‑July 2026. Emails are either not sending, remaining in the Drafts folder indefinitely, or going missing altogether. This has caused significant disruption, and I’m concerned about potential data loss.

    I would appreciate prompt assistance from your technical team to investigate and fix this issue.
    Thank you.

  6. Scrolling is broken FFS

    Why does scrolling through my inbox make it jump around? Why doesn't this feature ******* work? This new email is so stupid. Quit side loading **** or training AI or whatever ******** you are doing that causes the inbox to be so slow. It was faster in classic, give it back!

  7. Get the ******** buttons off of the email subject line

    Why the **** does hovering over an email make the buttons to delete, forward, etc. appear both at the top of the inbox and over the message subject? Most of the inbox is white space for this inane redesign and now I can't even read the full subject. How in the world am I supposed to know if an email is worth keeping if I can't read the ******** subject? This is the worst email I've ever used. Give us classic back!

  8. INBOX CATEGORIES CAUSED MISSED MAIL

    I FOUND A SETTING CALLED"INBOX CATEGORIES". AFTER TURNING THIS FEATURE OFF, OVER 20 EMAILS SUDDENLY APPEARED. THIS DESIGN OF HIDING MY MESSAGES FROM ME IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. DELETE THIS "FEATURE".

  11. Creation of Sender Tiles...

    When viewing/sorting by sender, would it be possible—like binder partitioning tabs—to checkbox said tiles and then hit "delete". Also, a complimentary feature to expand all/collapse all said tiles. Option to color code if possible. Also if a business email is emailing \with the same domain but different "ORG", can that be differentiated in its corresponding title as well. Same goses for trash, so users know what they are deleting.

  13. allow more email subject lines to be viewed on single screen

    Keep visual density of basic mail; update disrupts workflow and requires more scrolling to see full inbox. Very unhappy with update.

  14. Michael Lorrey

    The bulk delete of all messages in a folder is not functioning, even though it says it is. To solve this I looked for a tool to delete the entire "facebook" folder, which has nearly 480,000 emails in it, so I can get my total memory usage down within the 20GB limit, but there does not seem to be a tool to delete a folder from the folder list. Since the bulk delete is not functioning, you have to scroll down repeatedly to load more emails in the screen, so the most you can delete at once is about 1,100…

  15. e-mail senders addresses to be showed accurately as Default ,in written format.

    Hi !

    This is a Security Risk, absolutely.

    Why cannot the e-mail address to be shown/showed fully as in written text format as Default ? Why do i have to hover above the Senders nickname first to see the accurate Address.

    For example criminals might use almoust exact same e-mail address as my Electric Company's Billing address.
    If i could see the actual complite e-mail address right away !!! without separately hovering above it, i could instantly see if its Legit sender or not.

    Why does Yahoo now allow this Security risk, for the email users to be hoaxed spammed…

  16. Location of the e-mail file attachments. Why now located way down at bottom ?

    Hi !

    Why cant the e-mail/drafted e-mail FILE ATTACHMENTS be located at the TOP of the mail ??? like it was at the old/classic yahoo email. As now attachments locate instead at the way bottom that causes harm...

    For example email may be very long in terms of text, hence you cannot see any of its ATTACHMENTS right away when you open the individual mail, no matter being Drafted or incoming arrived e-mail.

    When FILE ATTACHMENTS are located on top of the mail, it ALSO helps to locate mail(s) that i want to search for. Makes manual Searching way faster,…

  17. How about not deleting decades of history

    Imagine a world where there are RNA programming injections, self-driving cars, satellites, rocket ships, and yet we have e-mail boxes that delete your entire history (inbox, sent, saved) mail because you didn't log in for a year. How antiquated, and laughable that company would be.

    7 days restoration is not good enough! My pictures and videos just disappeared! I did not accidentally delete them! 1 day they were there the next time I looked, more than 90 percent of them were gone! Now I’m being told there is nothing that can be done! I have memories that are lost forever! That’s so heartbreaking!
