    At one point we couldn't scroll through the end of an email using arrows, then it got fixed, now that feature has disappeared again. Could you please bring it back? Thanks!

  2. Make a Select All that actually selects all.

    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE grant the ability for the UI to allow me to select ALL the emails in a category when I select "select all". Right now it only lets me do 100 emails at a time, just the emails that are loaded onto the screen. I have tens of thousands of emails I want to delete at a time. doing 100 emails at a time is going to take forever!

    For example, when I select "offers" tab there needs to be a "select all" selection that allows me to delete them ALL. When I do it now, I select…

  4. storage

    My storage is 180% over its limit and I have deleted all of the attachments, pictures, folders and trash. Over 550,000 emails still exist but they are not deleting in batches of 10,000 like they are supposed to (they are deleting in batches of 100). I have been working on this for 2 days and am not making any progress in freeing up storage. Any advice?

  8. 14" SCREEN TROUBLE

    I use a 14" screen laptop. The new yahoo display often hides the send button, I can not scroll down far enough.
    The yahoo search bar covers the tabs at the top - back, delete tabs.
    This affects both reading incoming emails and writing emails.
    I'd like to go back to the older version if there is no fix to this. Please help.
    I have tried making the email images smaller so I can reach the bottom of the email, to no avail.

  10. Spam Folder and Adjusting Default Inbox Filter

    I liked seeing my spam folder so that I could check it for missing emails erroneously routed there. I also loathe that "Priority" is the default Inbox filter and cannot be changed (that I can find). It took me quite some time to even realize this was preventing me from seeing emails I knew I had. Honestly, "All" should be the default, or there should be some way to change behavior rather than having to click "All" EVERY SINGLE TIME I open my email.

  11. Copy and paste difficulty

    How do you 'paste' with Windows 11? Not much is the same with Windows 10. In google you hit 'share' and it asks which method to use and 'Firefox' won't 'paste'. My right click doesn't work in Windows11!

  13. cannot upgrade due to wrong region set

    I think there is a bug which makes Yahoo to wrongly calculate used space. Deleted ggigabytes of old emails, but still it shows that most of them count in our account even after more than two weeks and my mailbox is blocked returning "mailbox full". And I have any means to force Yahoo Mail to reindex the emails. Also, I cannot do any upgrade the mailbox for more storage as Yahoo accepts only US paypal/credit cards due to Region set on mailbox creation by mistake to US and with no means to manually switch the Region. I feel that many…

  15. Complaint

    Your service has gone massively down hill recently from auto deleteing old emails I was saving to my most recent issue I never get emails where a website is sending a confirmation code, not from OPEN AI, not from some retail sites etc. I am paying for services that use MFA but I can't use them because I never receive the codes, even if I have been able to get other emails from the same sites....

  18. Replying to emails in threads

    Its getting very difficult to reply in the thread emails. Whenever I type its hides the above lines and I have to scroll up all the time; moreover, if I copy and paste then it takes me to the last message and if the email thread is long then I have search for my message again to send it. Your new update is not effecive

  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.

  20. Emails keep jumping back to the top

    After performing an action on an email (read or delete), the inbox view automatically refreshes and scrolls back to the top of the message list (oldest/newest, depending on sort). This behavior forces me to manually scroll down again to find my previous position, which disrupts workflow and is both inefficient and time-consuming.

    Is there a setting or configuration option to persist scroll position in the inbox so that the view doesn’t reset after each action?

    After I read or delete an email, the inbox annoyingly refreshes and jumps right back to the top of the list. It completely throws me…
