  1. Easy viewing of messages with attachments

    When a conversation is expanded, giving 1-line previews, it would be useful to see which messages carry attachments

  2. Can 'select all' be made visible all the time?

    Hello, I saw in a couple posts that the 'select all' box becomes available once an email has been selected. Personally, I'd prefer it if the 'select all' box was always visible. It's honestly kind of annoying that I have to select an individual email in order to make the 'select all' box visible. Also, I recently realized this, but when I'm in a filter/folder other than 'all' I instinctively think the 'all' is the 'select all'.

  3. The "Drafts" icon no longer shows the number of active drafts

    In the old version I was able to see how many drafts were currently in the Drafts folder.

    This is no longer possible for some reason

    Please fix.

  5. Remove the ads from the bottom of the email reading screen

    The ads to the side are somewhat unobtrusive, but now with ads at the top of the email and at the bottom of the email, there's hardly room for the message! Please remove the ad banner from the bottom of the email. This has gone too far!!!!

  6. Pleaseeeeee go back to the old version. Thank you

    It's hard to handle and look for the new "look" of Yahoo main page. Why in the world would change the appearance of the Yahoo?. The old version is very easy to handle and understand. If there are not a button of get back to Yahoo old version, I'm going to look to close the account and open a new one in Google.

  13. Why can I no longer paste a screenshot in the body of an email --- bad for my business

    Why can I no longer paste a screenshot in the body of an email --- bad for my business.
    I often need to screenshot a portion of a document or a screenshot -- no longer have that capability in the new version.
    Please give back functionality we had in the Classic Version.
    Your attempt to streamline and give better functionality is obviously a FAILURE !

  14. We can no longer widen the column with the folders making it impossilbe to see the entire title of the folder

    We can no longer widen the column with the folders making it impossilbe to see the entire label of the folder if it has a longer label. Also, when changing the name of a folder, if you only want to add to the existing label you have to retype the whole thing. Very time consuming. In addition, when you are trying to move a folder you can no longer search by typing part of the name but have to scroll - if you have a ton of folders that is very time consuming.

    Please bring back the ability to widen…

  15. Get rid of the message summaries

    They are redundant and messy. If you don't want to get rid of them, at least let people opt in or out depending on their preferences.

  17. Eliminate Ad's

    Eliminate Ads. I waited to the last minute to make the change to Yahoo for my email because of the ad's and you haven't disappointed me. They are as bad as I expected.

    Yes, we do have a few ads in our app, but we also offer an ad-free experience (like many apps today) if you upgrade to Yahoo Mail Plus, but of course it's not mandatory. We will also share your feedback with the right team. Thanks.

  18. Turn off AI Features

    Not an idea but help needed and you do not provide a help area. Please can someone advise me on how to turn off the AI Features permanently. Turn them off and something turns it back on!!

    We encourage you to read at the top of the Uservoice header (forum). There we provide What’s New, Coming Soon and some Tips. There we mention how to disable AI Summaries. Definitely read those as we update them with useful information. Thanks!

    The best way to get rid of spam is to mark as spam, not delete or block! This helps with your spam filters and does exactly what blocking does, prevents that email from coming to your Inbox. So please keep marking as spam! It is free and part of regular Yahoo Mail. Thanks!

  20. How do I add JUST A DOMAIN NAME to the blocked senders list? I receive lots of SPAM emails from the same domain names day in and day out.

    How do I add JUST A DOMAIN NAME to the blocked senders list? I receive lots of SPAM emails from the same domain names day in and day out. Whoever is sending these SPAM emails changes the first part of the address each time and they don't reuse them while the domain name stays the same. Being able to block SPAM messages simply by domain name would be a big help.
