  1. Return to Classic Mail

    Go back to the original Yahoo. This is terrible. Why do I have to click on the 3 dots on the bottom to get the Spam and Trash Folders. They should be on the top with the icons for inbox, etc.

  4. unable to move emails from sub folder to inbox

    i can move emails from inbox to a subfolder, but if i make a mistake i cannot move from a subfolder to inbox. drag and drop doesn't work nor does ticking the checkbox and clicking on 'move to inbox'. it doesn't work in standard or basic yahoo versions.
    This includes the spam folder which now has some emails incorrectly put there by yahoo's filters from my bank that i cannot move back to the inbox.

  6. Search Emails by Keywords

    The new Yahoo Mail version does not allow you to search emails by keywords as the previous version did. This is an important feature which needs to be added back immediately.

  9. Scrolling through mail is jumpy as it skips emails

    Scrolling through email is impossible. I use the scroll wheel on my mouse to look through email as I use a pc. I can start at the top and after one or two short scrolls down it jumps down so I miss several hours of emails For example, my newest email came at 6:12pm today..After I get down to 4:20pm it jumps to mail received at 1pm without my even scrolling and when I go back up I see I missed 32 emails received. No matter how many times I go back to the top and try again it always…

  12. EMAIL PRINT BUTTON

    THE EMAIL PRINT BUTTON IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. YOU HAVE TO SELECT THE 3 DOTS, PRINT BUTTON, AND ALL THAT SHOWS UP IS THE HEADDER OF THE EMAIL AND NOT THE SUBJECT OF THE EMAIL. IN ORDER TO PRINT THE ENTIRE EMAIL, YOU HAVE TO HIT CANCEL AND THEN PRINT AGAIN. THIS IS CRAZY AND YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SELECT 5 DIFFERENT THINGS IN ORDER TO PRINT ONE DOCUMENT.

  13. Draft emails just delete while you are working on them

    Three times I have been writing an email and suddenly yahoo just says your email has been deleted. It just happened to me 11:47am 6/20/25 AZ time. I am so frustrated. I don't know why this happens and how to stop it.

  14. 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…

  15. Account switcher broken

    The new account switcher (in the upper right) is seriously broken - it only shows 3 accounts after I click on "Add or switch accounts", when I have 4 active accounts. Worse, it doesn't show the most recently used account. For example, I recently switched from account A to account B. Now, when I select "Add or switch accounts", it shows me accounts B, C, and D. There's no way for me to get back to account A!!! Seriously broken. Also, why the extra click on "Add or switch accounts"? - This is an extra, unnecessary step. I switch accounts…

    There are times when I am not able to see the top bar icons like delete, move etc on selecting a message.
    Also the buttons /icons are not fully align on selection. When I keep my mouse pointer at center of icon, it doesn't get highlighted & on clicking it, it will not work

  18. New email jump

    I absolutely HATE that every time I get a new email, it moves me back to the top of the page!!! WTF yahoo, what is the point of that???? If I am trying to go through a backlog of emails, or for any other reason WANT TO REMAIN AT A CERTAIN POINT OR DATE, WHHHYYYYYYY make it jump just because I got another email??? It is THE WORST. Thinking of getting rid of Yahoo altogether, just for that but the other changes also pretty much suck also.

  19. Storage Feedback

    very upset because I stayed with Yahoo and moved all my history here because yahoo mail offered 1Tb storage. Now I can't even pay to receive what was promised. Pay for 200GB when I had 1Tb for free? Why Yahoo? You should not take away from existing accounts but rather just limit new accounts. Yahoo apparently wants to have a reputation for lying, false promises, and taking away services from long time loyal users.

  20. backspace deletes emails that are being replied to

    When I try to reply to an email and I hit the back space, at all, it deletes the entire email. I just hit the back space on a very important thread of emails and it permanently deleted the entire string of emails I have been trying to work out a return for an expensive product for. When an email is in my inbox, it will automatically send it to the trash folder and exit the email if I press the back space and it does this without warning. the reply function/forward seems very buggy and there was also an…
