  4. 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.

  5. 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!

  7. 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…

  10. 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....

  14. Search Field changing its position

    Sometimes when I use the search field at the top of the page, it pops down lower and covers the "toolbar" where the trash, spam, move, reply, forward, mark read/unread icons are, and I cannot access those icons. I must refresh the screen to get the search field back into its original position. This just started happening recently, which makes me think any recent programming changes may have affected the search field. Can it be made to stay in its proper position?

  15. file name of attachment

    I sometimes receive emails with Attached files, and it's important for me to easily read the Full File name of the attached files, and I'd like to do this w/o opening the file.

    For example, if I am working on a project with someone and they are sending me attachments with file names that have a rev number in them or other information in the file name that gives me information on the file. I don't see anyway to view the full file name except by downloading the file. I would like to be able to hover my cursor over…

  16. Email chain

    The email chain view or the conversation view in Yahoo needs to be fixed big time, it is so hard to follow conversations as the old and new get all jumbled up in there. It is a mess!

  17. can't see all features

    I am on a laptop, and there are many times the bar that contains delete and spam goes under the search bar....and becomes unoperable. I recommend testing the app on many devices so you can see how bad it is.

  18. Header hides top bar of icons (delete, move, etc..)

    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

  19. 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

  20. Emails Drafts being deleted

    Email drafts are being deleted when the "delete" button is accidently clicked when typing in the subject of the email. This is extremely frustrating as I always have to restart my email. I have lost work multiple times in the last week because of this. Please look into this issue, otherwise I might need to switch my main email address to Gmail.
