  1. Folder content transfer

    Here's an idea: maybe DON'T trash a legacy account's entire folder system when transitioning to the new system: like WTAF??

  3. insert inline pictures into Yahoo Mail

    There used to be an option to insert an inline picture into a Yahoo Email. It was cumbersome but at least it was there: I would have to attach an image, then click on the three dots on the image and select "Inline". Now that option is gone. I can't understand why such a basic thing as inserting an inline image isn't as easy as it is with any other web email, desktop app, web based app: clicking on a icon that looks like a picture and that's it. Please make this easy. Thank you.

  4. Folders Browsing

    When using the Yahoo Mail app on my phone (I have a Pixel 6 Pro), it would be very helpful to have the option to collapse and expand folders and subfolders while browsing.

    Currently, when navigating through folders in the app, all folders and subfolders appear expanded by default. If you have many folders and nested subfolders, this makes the list very long and difficult to scroll through. As a result, finding a specific folder that is further down the list takes more time than necessary.

    Adding the ability to collapse and expand folders would make navigation much more efficient…

  5. The folders and subfolders don't all show in the Yahoo Mail App

    Why can't the mail app show all the folders and subfolders? How can I go back to the old app? When I do, it changes back to the new app by itself. Very disappointed in your "progress." Old is sometimes better

  6. Why am I not receiving confirmation emails?

    Hello,
    I registered with the online store https://naturalniprodukti.com/
    Why am I not receiving confirmation emails from them?
    The seller tells me that it is giving an error.
    They sent me a photo, but that does not solve my problem.

  7. Empty a folder content

    I have added several filters for my offers and different newsletters to move emails out of my inbox.
    I have now a folder that has more then 6.5k emails. I need a solution to delete all of the emails of that folder, without having to select all 50 displayed emails and push delete for only those.
    This would also reduce the amount of communication between my UI and your backend.

  9. Archive sent emails

    Archived sent emails currently do not display the recipient(s), only the sender "me". This is not useful when trying to visually select a historic communication. Allowing the user to select header iitems to display in settings would eliminate this.

  11. E-mail list doesn't refresh, have to wait several minutes or manually refresh page. Provide a way to refresh inbox.

    I can't see new e-mails in my inbox or any other folder for minutes after I'm notified of a new e-mail and see the indicator. Old yahoo mail you could simply click on the inbox folder to trigger a refresh, but new yahoo there is no way to refresh at all and I have to either wait minutes for it to finally show me the new e-mail or I have to refresh the browser page.

  12. Inbox right section changes

    First of all thanks for the new look, i thought the yahoo mail was dead.

    When I'm in inbox section on my laptop, the right side is just displaying nothing which is wasting space and compressing inbox into even smaller section so its hard to read emails, I have to open the email to read the starting of the email. I'm sorry If I could not explain it properly.

    We can have it replaced it with something useful and not the ads please - it just makes the whole thing look like disaster. Looking forward to see more changes on…

  14. your old customers

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    I hope this message finds you well.

    I created my Yahoo account many years ago—possibly more than thirty years ago. Although I have attempted to determine the exact date of its creation, I have unfortunately been unable to locate this information.

    As a long-standing and loyal user who has continued to rely on Yahoo as my primary email service, I would like to respectfully suggest that Yahoo consider offering recognition, rewards, or special benefits to users who have remained committed to the platform over many years. Such an initiative would be greatly appreciated and would further…

  15. Make it possible to read the full width of an email

    With the ads shown on the side the window for reading emails is too narrow. When I open an email it would make it much easier to read if I could see the full width of the email rather than having to scroll left and right. I'm using Firefox on Windows 10.

  16. Only 1 thing - must have Small Inbox spacing

    The new experience keeps getting enabled - the only thing that is a MUST HAVE is compact layout, the equivalent of Small Inbox Spacing. With the legacy layout, the Small Inbox Spacing seems slightly more compact that Gmail compact spacing - DON'T RUIN THIS!

  17. Inbox subjects scroll by themselves! Hard to return to my inbox spot after opening a message

    When I finish reading an email and try to go back to the inbox, I have a hard time finding where I left off. The screen has automatically scrolled up instead of staying where I was before. ??????

  18. I search for one topic and the tab in the bubble at the top repeated that search 20 times!!

    I love the multi tab option, as I often go back to previous emails, but when I search the "tabs" (really bubbles) for one search seem to multiply...20 copies of one!! This makes it hard to see other tabs. Please fix.

  20. Double delete the mail

    For a few months now my email has started deleteing two of my messages when I am only trying to delete one. Not a good thing to be happening. Not even in the new mail yet. Must be an update to the old mail. More spam is getting through also. I had tried the new mail a while back and it didn't handle the spam as well so I had switched back to the old mail as long as it is available.
