  1. BLUE DOT - Unread

    I have been depending on that blue dot next to an email to see my new mail. It's gone. Get it back.

  2. Infinite Scroll to Next Email

    Absolutely HATE the new feature that concerns scrolling inside of an email and automatically loads the next email. Dozens of times already have read an email, then go to hit the delete key only to realize the next unread email has been loaded and is now in the trash can.

  3. From field not available on Reply/Forward

    ISSUES:

    1. REPLY does not allow you to change the FROM email (it is not even visible). This is a problem if you have multiple emails.

    2. The FORWARD has the same issue as above.

    Both of these are an option on the old version of Yahoo. This is forcing me to copy and paste the entire email and create a new one.

  5. see below

    not liking the new email format. I don't feel it's user friendly. I've been trying to email files to my CPA and it keeps saying not the correct format. However if I send the files from my husband's email and NO Problem. I want the old format back, a lot more user friendly. Not Impressed!!!

  6. Delete all offers

    I would like to delete all "Offers". The UI is really weird for this. If you select "All", then you are no longer targeting offers. With the new UI, you have to select at least one message on the "Offers" tab, then you can select "All" messages, but it's limited to just the 100 messages in your current list. I would like to nuke them all, from all time, similar to how Delete all Spam was on the old UI.

    What's even more troubling is that I can select the Offer messages and delete them 100 at a time, but…

  7. Let us opt out of planner

    On the PLANNER- For God's sake at least let us be able to take stuff OFF of the planner. Your AI is getting all the stuff wrong. It's a headache and very stressful.

  8. Bug: Disabling AI Message Summaries toggle does not work (stuck on generic previews)

    I turned off the "Message summaries" toggle in Settings, but my inbox won't revert to normal. It is stuck showing generic AI text like "Linkedin has sent you job alerts for..." instead of the actual company and role details.

    I have already tried:

    1, Turning the toggle on and off again.

    1. Hard-refreshing the browser (Ctrl+F5).

    2. Logging completely out and logging back in.

    The UI says it is turned off, but the inbox is completely failing to update. Please fix this caching issue!

  9. Current Open Email Indicator Bar

    When i am reading my emails with my inbox or folder on the left and the email on the right of the screen, the only indicator on the left in the list of emails of which one I am currently reading is a small, slim purple bar on the right of the email subject and first line card. This little purple bar gets partially covered by the scroll up and down bar when not hovering over it and is completely covered by it if you start using the scroll bar. My preference would be that you make the purple bar…

  10. Don't advertise virus infected ads

    My Yahoo mail is showing an Ad indicating it is coming from McAfee.com that says "Payment has failed". It is an obvious scam intending to infect my computer. Use AI to come up with better software to prevent obvious scams from coming into a users InBox.

  11. Sort by Sender does not stay intact; list pops

    When sorting by sender, the sort does not remain after taking any action, ie opening an email, moving to a folder, deleting, etc. It always goes back to sorting by Newest. I have to resort by sender every time i do anything. This is extremely frustrating and time consuming.

    In addition, once I do resort, the email list pops back to the top and i have to scroll down to the place i was. Every. single. time. I've gotten to the point i just drag to the bottom and hold it while the unending amount of ads on the right…

  12. Automatically show editable "Subject" lines when replying/forwarding an email

    When replying/forwarding an email I can't edit the subject line or CC/BCC lines without having to click a little arrow next to the "to" line and selecting "edit subject" or "edit BCC and CC".

    It's confusing when the subject line is already large and bold at the top of the email, but I can't click on it to edit. Instead I have to go hunting around for how to edit it.

  14. Show Starred emails needs to display more than just 2 weeks of them

    Show Starred emails needs to display more than just 2 weeks of them--it did a week ago. I saved as draft a few important ones, it said SAVED and going in today--there is no sign of them. Yahoo LIED. Refuses to let me search flagged emails past 2 weeks old--which means this function is totally useless. Please stop screwing around with the design and re-enable the functionality that used to be there

  17. Missing and disappearing emails

    Hello,

    I've 2 Yahoo emails linked to my Yahoo mail account.

    However, there seems to be hiccups and I did not receive some emails and I'm experiencing "disappearing" emails. Let me elaborate:

    I missed an email from leigh@whitehallassoc.com some time last week. Why I know about it? I was told by the persons superior Leigh has sent the information I've requested already. But the email did NOT arrive in my email account!!!!

    Disappearing email: I saw an email from Aman Choudhary earlier this morning but half an hour later, it disappeared from my mail box!

    What is going on???!!!

    While…

    Currently it has the option to delete all your deleted messages in one go which that does not work it will not delete 60 odd thousand emails but then comes to the point of why exactly does it even have that many in the deleted folder when the deleted folder says it deletes emails after 7 days yet look here is emails dating back yrs still sitting here meanwhile at the top it says above all this these emails will delete automatically after 7 days yet they dont. Then you guys have the audacity to tell a person they are…

  19. IT'S SLOOOWWWWWWW!

    The "NEW" yahoo email EVERY SINGLE ACTION feels like I'm operating it from a base camp on Mars. Everything was working fine until a few days ago yahoo decided to MAKE me switch to the "NEW" email. I switched back to the old email immediately, but now I was switched to a totally stripped down useless version of the old email. Here's my idea: FIX IT YAHOO!
