  3. Compact Email List

    Looking forward for an option to make the emails list more compact. Currently, the email list items occupy too much height. Making the list more compact helps quick visual scanning of emails subjects/titles.

  7. Drastic reduction from 1 TB to 15 GB

    Why Yahoo, after so many years, according to an email I received today, since May 05, 2026 intends to drastically reduce inbox's size (from 1 TB to merely 15 GB) and calls it an "improvement"? It feels like an attempt to force users to switch from free plan to paid plan but I reviewed the information about pay plans and even the key information about their capacity seems to be missing. I am not sure how I'll be able to delete 50% of my storage - I have 28 GB and would never expect that steep reduction from 1 TB…

  8. Email Search doesn't work for email older than approximately 9 years

    Email Search doesn't work for email older than approximately 9 years - this has been a persistent problem that last for a long time, I'm just flagging it now as I was hoping it would be fixed with the new UI. It just doesn't work. For example, I can see email from "Kaggle" if I manually scroll to 2016 of before hand. If I search Kaggle onyl email up to October 2017 are shown though.

    Hi Alessandro, thanks for letting us know. We tried replicating the issue and couldn't. All our older emails showed up in search. Can you please send us a video of this happening to oasis.mail.feedback@yahooinc.com? Then provide browser and browser version? Thank you!

  9. Function for removing emails is not working

    The function for deleting all unread messages does NOT remove more than 100 even when I mark Remove all.
    Please sort this out before askinfg your customer to pay for storage.

  10. Email view settings: Compact view

    Thanks for the new interface. however, it would be great to continue having the compact / comfortable space options to view email. this feature seems to have been remove and it now takes more scrolls to view email at a glance

  11. Calendar Display Inconsistent

    Calendar items are abbreviated now. Back and forth between abbreviated and full display. I so much prefer full display of calendar items. In fact, the whole reason to use Yahoo Calendar is the complete display of calendar items without clicking on something.

  12. DO NOT SHOW MY EVENTS AS “3 MORE” OR "2 MORE" IN THE MONTHLY FORMAT, I NEED TO SEE THEM ALL, ALL AT ONCE

    I am having major issues with the updated changes to the Calendar, very dissatisfied

    PLEASE FIX THIS
    DO NOT SHOW MY EVENTS AS “3 MORE” OR "2 MORE" IN THE MONTHLY FORMAT, I NEED TO SEE THEM ALL, ALL AT ONCE

    I NEED TO SEE THEM TO BOOK TIMESLOTS

    IT IS NOT HELPFUL TO CLICK THE “3 MORE” AND HAVE A LITTLE WINDOW SHOW UP

    I NEED TO BE ABLE FOR ALL TIMESLOTS TO BE VISIBLE ON THE MAIN SCREEN AT ALL TIMES.

    WE HAVE DOZENS OF BOOKINGS IN A DAY
    THE EVENING BOOKINGS AS WELL NEED TO BE VISIBLE…

  13. Calendar Scheduling

    Whenever I click on the date, I want to schedule an event, the date is off by at least a day. Even when I amend the date and save the event is off by a day. So I have to end up dragging the event to the correct day. It's a BIG hassle to say the least. Please rectify this buy at your earliest convenience. Thanks in advance !!!

  14. More fixes for Calendar!

    I do not like the colored dots beside an event-I need the color bar, as it used to be shown. I also used the flag type to determine the status of my events-with no flags being shown, I cannot tell what is going on. Are these changes or is my calendar broken?

  15. Fix the Calendar!!!

    When I choose a day to add an event-it opens using the current day-not the day I chose. It also does this when I use the dropdown menu for adding an event or task. This is very frustrating & inconvenient; especially after years of choosing a day & have that day screen open.

  16. Calendar changes make calendar more difficult to use.

    Suddenly, week and month displays are abbreviated into one line. I can't read an entry without clicking on it. The previous version of calendar with multi-line readable entries was so easy to use. The new version with ugly colors has just been such a mess.

  17. Please go back to the old Yahoo calendar!

    This new calendar is awful! The tags all show as little dots of the same color instead of the tags I use to color-code my family's activities. The tags are now useless.

    I like to view the whole month at a time. With the last change, it always defaulted to the week view, which was annoying. Now it is back to the month view as default, but it does not show everything that is on each day without having to click a button to see the additional items. I need to be able to see all items on my month-view…

  18. Priority

    When all mail tab is selected the Priority label on all the Priority mail covers part of the subject line in the list of mail, a smaller circle with just a P in in it I believe would be better to not interfere with reading the subject titles.

    Not real important but it does look sloppy.

    Thanks - Paul

  19. Why do Calendar appointments default to "All Day" appointments now?

    Please set it back the way it was before. You are creating more work for users.

  20. Yahoo Email display window layout

    The Yahoo email display doesn't make good use of the display area. Files, folders, contacts and calendars etc... all need to be hidden but pop-out displays and allow the user to utilise the email lists and the window of the contents of the email usefully. ie. email lists + a window for a selected email's contents.
