  1. Troubleshooting

    Since there is no customer service number or email address to contact, I would like to describe the many Yahoo Mail problems I have been experiencing for several months that did not happen before. These are definitely not server problems, because they occur across multiple servers. I have done everything that I can, including disabling add-ons and extensions, to no avail. I'm writing this down, because I'm sure other users are experiencing similar issues. My Internet connection is excellent, so I don't think that's the problem. I would like to add that these only occur on my iMac desktop (Tahoe…

  2. Add an ability to delete your WHOLE mailbox

    you can only delete 100 emails at a time, then you must delete the emails in your trashcan

    Why not make delete all 100,200 emails, and not have to delete them from your trash can in 100 emails at a time.

    meaning its like 200,400 emails.

  3. Single click view, and swipe left to delete

    Don’t know why you have made it more difficult to carry out basic navigation tasks. Previously on Safari (iPad) I could click once to view an email. Now, I need to click twice. How on earth is that an improvement? Similarly to delete a message I used to be able to simply swipe left. Now I need to click the message, then click somewhere else to delete it. Again a step backwards. Please stop trying to make things more time consuming and onerous.

  4. eliminate offer pop-ups

    I pay for mail+ so as to have have ads and pop-ups -- it is very frustrating to have an offer pop-up at the top of my messages every time I go to inbox. I personally do not believe there should be an offers category of emails, yet even so, pop-ups are frustrating and time consuming. Please advise when you will delete these distracting pop-ups (and certainly let me know if you are keeping pop-ups, so I can discontinue and get different email service)

  6. Yahoo Life Assistant

    Dear Yahoo Team,

    I have been a loyal Yahoo user for more than 20 years. Through all the changes in the internet landscape, I've continued using Yahoo because it was one of the pioneers that shaped the web experience for millions of people.

    I'm genuinely happy to see Yahoo investing in its products again. As a long-time fan, I'd like to share one suggestion.

    Instead of focusing primarily on rebuilding Yahoo Mail to compete with mature email platforms, I believe Yahoo has an opportunity to create something that people use every day because it solves real-life problems.

    Today's most successful…

  7. Sort by Sender Not Working

    The new sort feature "by sender" is almost completely useless. It doesn't sort all the messages by the sender. Also, if I highlight a message and then do a shift-hold and click on the end of a string of emails I want to delete, the selection tool does not work — it selects a random set of emails, not the ones I wanted to select. The previous version worked so much better. Ugh.

  9. the checkbox for selecting email needs to be bigger

    because the checkbox is too small, it's easy to accidentally open the email instead and makes selecting emails for deletion much less efficient ... or consider making the pop up delete icon that appear when you move the mouse over the subject line permanent, otherwise, after deleting one email, that icon doesn't appear unless you move the mouse a little bit again to make the delete icon appear, very inefficient when managing lots of emails ....

  10. automatic category learning from user actions

    I want mail to learn from my actions to provide a better experience going forward - either automatically (based on actions) or with help from manual teaching. If I drag and email from "primary" to "newsletters" - I would like an option to either learn this category is where future emails of this type should land, or a confirmation that asks - would you like future emails from this sender/with this subject to appear in this category. Thanks.

  11. Re-arranging accounts

    In the past, before you changed the platform, I was able to re-arrange my accounts on the left side menu. I can't do that in the Classic or New platform. I do not like the changes at all. I'm currently in the Classic because I hated the new Platform. But you still made some changes to the Classic. Why did you remove being able to rearrange accounts?

  12. Out of Office response

    Hi, the out of office response does not seem to allow selecting dates for a single day. Example if I am out of the office for 21st Aug 2026, the end date can't be set to 21st Aug, instead it sets at 22nd Aug and send the out of office message to emails received on the 22nd.

    Please fix this, thank you.

  14. Yahoo Mail Plus subscription on an annual basis?

    Hello Team,

    Is it true that you can't get (buy) a Yahoo Mail Plus subscription on an annual basis? I'm referring to the subscription that removes ads from your email.

    I can't see all my inbox message, like I could do before.
    Sections of the inbox message to the right cannot be seen - it's cut off.
    I have to go all the way to the bottom of the message and use the bar horizontally.

  16. Make the box less busy, crowded looking

    I hate the new Yahoo mail format. The look is too crowded, close together, too busy looking. It gives me a slight headache just trying to focus on what I need to. Can hardly distinguish the ads from the emails as they are intermingled in together. I do not like how Yahoo decide what is primary and what is not. There is a space/box to the right of the opened emails that I can't see how to move as it makes the emails themselves have smaller room to enlarge to be able to read the entire email without having to…

  20. show next message option displays previous message

    The "Show next message" setting displays the previous message instead of the next message. The issue is reproducible in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge and by clearing cache. The issue occurs using the move message function from the folder icon and the delete message function. A capture of the issue is provided and at 00:18s where the previous message is displayed when the show next message option is selected. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o0oY9sGHaM

    Secondly, how do users respond for User Voice? Our confusion is there is no Reply option as shown here - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_K9bkHka6E3BORO3W1Tt_tvWy2x3CLKO/view?usp=sharing
