  1. Block spam option is currently broken

    Whenever the block and delete option is pressed the selected messages are initially deleted, however the messages are instantly restored and the delete function has to be used separately

  4. Easy method of reporting a scam email

    When a email is highlighted there should also be a report this email as scam button. If there already is one, then it should be made easier to find and use.

  5. new layouts

    I am not amused at all when you change layout; it makes it difficult to work with E-mail that keeps changing. It is not an art show, please revert back to "normal" old layout, thanks.

  9. 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?

  10. Visual design contrast and readability

    I'm glad that this new version didn't ditch the email tabs. That is the primary reason why I still use Y!Mail after all these years, and it made me crazy that past redesigns would try to get rid of this critical feature. I'm still getting used to the new layout.

    But the lingering issue is that this new visual design makes it hard to read the content. It feels like all the words are harder to scan and read. It is definitely much harder to see which of my emails are read or unread in my inbox. The airy, pastel…

  11. New yahoo mail is okay but.....

    When I open an email I can see both new and old messages but it is kind of messy. The latest thing my contact wrote is not neccessarily in the top but I wish it would be....and often (maybe always?) messages are shrunken and I have to press an arrow or something to enlarge the message and I can read it. I can understand why I would save space with long texts but it can be two lines that are only visible after I press a button.
    Do you really meant it to be this way? :)
    It looks fresh…

  12. New viewing format is terrible

    The new viewing format looks terrible. I cannot distinguish between the read and unread messages. They all look the same. The boldness of the fonts is not different from the non-bold ones. Everything looks like they are all blended together. Hard to tell between AD or real message. I like the previous format better.

  18. 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.

    Hi there, can you send us a screenshot of the error message you are receiving? And then tell us which browser and browser version you are using? This would be super helpful as there are many browsers out there, and we can't seem to replicate this issue. Please send to oasis.mail.feedback@yahooinc.com. Thank you for your help!
