  1. Marking a Spam email as Not Spam

  2. Deleting Emails more sufficiently

    I used to be able to click on a box above the emails that selected all of them and I could delete, now I have to go one by one to delete. Is there any way to go back to the old Mail?

  3. Return to same position in Inbox when closing an email

    Very frustrating and anoying -- when marching through emails in your Inbox / Folder to view them in the new Yahoo Mail UI (which looks like Gmail UI), you will not return to the same place in the Inbox list when you close the email you were viewing. You have to scroll around the list to re-find your last position to look at the next email.

  4. Delete All in Spam Folder

    What happened to the Choose All button in the Spam folder? A few days ago I could click on that and clean out the Spam folder. Now that button is missing. Jeezuz. Who's in charge of this disaster, this "new and not-improved" email???

  5. Delete Trash.

    Up until about a week ago, there was the ability to select to delete all of the items in the Trash. That option is no longer available.
    Please bring it back.

  6. Draft email not saved

    What happened to "draft" emails? I accidentally closed an email I was drafting, and it disappeared. In the past, any draft was automatically saved in "drafts". But not this time. Please advise or correct. Thank you.

  7. delete all?

    Make the help section readable and searchable. Put the delete all button back on the top of the pages. The last thing i want to do is spend 6 hours deleting individual emails. If There is a way to enable it, please see very first sentence. This is FUBAR.
    Ease of use. Ease of use. Ease of use. Remember Proton mail is a click away.

  8. Feature Request: Follow-Up Reminders in Yahoo Mail

    Dear Yahoo Mail Team,

    I’d like to suggest a useful feature that could enhance Yahoo Mail's functionality: follow-up reminders for emails. Gmail has an option that automatically reminds users to follow up on emails they haven't received replies to, helping to ensure important conversations don’t get lost.

    A similar feature in Yahoo Mail would be incredibly beneficial for users who manage busy inboxes and need a prompt to revisit unanswered emails. Having a built-in follow-up reminder would improve email organization and efficiency.

    I’d love to hear your thoughts on this idea and whether Yahoo Mail might consider implementing something similar.…

  9. Message Layout

    Suggestion: Please could you consider giving users another option on the "Message Layout" section to remove the "third tile" (where the contacts/starred messages) can be viewed. The message tile is shrunk and requires one to scroll to the right to read the full message (even on a laptop). Or you might want to give the user the option to shrink that third tile. Thank you!

  10. MAKE IT WORK!

    Your new email system sucks. It constantly takes me away from the emails I am writing and it just caused me to delete an email I was working on for awhile.

  11. Format issue when using chrome

    I have my "Windows" scale setting at 150% to make it easier to read any website info. And I'm using a chrome browser. When replying to an email, I have to adjust chrome zoom setting to 80% to see the "Send" button. Also, can't see "Mailboxes" button on main screen until I set zoom to 80%. Very annoying. Need to have it reformat screen to show those items or have a full screen scroll bar so you can scroll down to see these items.

  12. Search

    Hi,

    First of all, I do not like the design of the new mail, old one was more clear for viewing and navigating, in my opinion it's a step backward. Before was possible to select in which folder you want the search to be performed, that's not possible any more. It was very handy feature.

    Rgds,
    Damir

  13. ads

    I changed all my ad settings to try and get rid of them. They interfere with my typing emails (stop putting the letters I had typed, so the ad could display). This happens many times per day. A business email should not be interfered by ads!!!
    Now after changing the settings I get Adult ads! Chat with me females in the ad!! What kind of business account would allow this! Please fix.

  14. Problem

    We have a problem with yahoo mail. When we go to "reply" e-mail is sent before we finish. The same happens when we attach document. We keep sending to people half-finished e-mails. Yesterday receiver did not even receive our e-mails. Please ADVISE!

  15. Don't detete older emails since I need them!

    Please return my emails. I'm trying to find my over three month emails in my folders and they are ALL empty. I didn't delete them, the new mail box did. I can't find help unless I pay for it!!! That is not fair, I didn't do anything. This includes gift certificates, a plane ride (now I have to call southwest to find my ticket).

  16. Alternate the lines of the emails

    Your new version of yahoo mail is not reader friendly. Every single line of each email is the same color gray. As a result, when you are looking at emails, one email blends into the next. It is extremely frustrating scanning the emails and trying to decide which one you need and which ones you don't, which one you want to save, which one can be tossed. It is terrible. Alternate the colors of the lines so that you can distinguish one email from the next.

  19. show domain on from email addresses

    One of the key ways to see if an email is spam is by looking at the domain. You are now hiding the domain on incoming emails in the message preview! This is a huge problem.

  20. The experience replying to emails is horrible.

    When I am trying to reply to an email, the screen keeps shifting to where the currently edited line is at the very top of the window. When I copy-paste, there is another abrupt shift of the window, sometimes to the very bottom of the email. The email should probably never shift when it is being edited.
