  1. file name of attachment

    I sometimes receive emails with Attached files, and it's important for me to easily read the Full File name of the attached files, and I'd like to do this w/o opening the file.

    For example, if I am working on a project with someone and they are sending me attachments with file names that have a rev number in them or other information in the file name that gives me information on the file. I don't see anyway to view the full file name except by downloading the file. I would like to be able to hover my cursor over…

  2. Email chain

    The email chain view or the conversation view in Yahoo needs to be fixed big time, it is so hard to follow conversations as the old and new get all jumbled up in there. It is a mess!

  3. can't see all features

    I am on a laptop, and there are many times the bar that contains delete and spam goes under the search bar....and becomes unoperable. I recommend testing the app on many devices so you can see how bad it is.

  4. Header hides top bar of icons (delete, move, etc..)

    There are times when I am not able to see the top bar icons like delete, move etc on selecting a message.
    Also the buttons /icons are not fully align on selection. When I keep my mouse pointer at center of icon, it doesn't get highlighted & on clicking it, it will not work

  5. Replying to emails in threads

    Its getting very difficult to reply in the thread emails. Whenever I type its hides the above lines and I have to scroll up all the time; moreover, if I copy and paste then it takes me to the last message and if the email thread is long then I have search for my message again to send it. Your new update is not effecive

  6. Emails Drafts being deleted

    Email drafts are being deleted when the "delete" button is accidently clicked when typing in the subject of the email. This is extremely frustrating as I always have to restart my email. I have lost work multiple times in the last week because of this. Please look into this issue, otherwise I might need to switch my main email address to Gmail.

  7. Can not forward emails with attachments

    As in a few days ago I could not forward emails with attachments. I have to go to the old version to do so.
    Also, I do not know why now every attachment gets copied twice. If I send an email with 5 attachments when I go back to my email now it has 10 files.

    How often are you allowed to make changes? It is taking way too long for these things to get fixed.

  8. Deleting mail should not take you back to top of the list

    When clicking in the trash can item on the list of emails (web version new ui), it deletes the email but it takes you back to the top of the list. So to check the next email, I have to scroll down the list to find where I am. I will probably delete the next email, which then takes me back to the top of the list and I have to scroll again. This endeless scrolling when cleaning mail emails are very annoying.

  9. email drafts disappearing as I type??

    Why are my email drafts suddenly disappearing as I type them? They suddenly vanish and can't be found anywhere in the system??
    Where are they going????? They just get deleted and can't be recalled. Is there a way to search and find deleted rafts?

  10. Duplicated Attachments

    This is NOT an idea. This is a BUG in the product. When you send an attachment it is duplicating the attached files. For instance, I sent 8 files attached (pdf, xls) and when I see the sent message, it duplicated 8 files to 16 files. This is a basic functionality for an email.

  11. Bug report: deleting draft forward email, deletes the original email too

    This is a bug report with the "forward" and "draft" feature.
    When I delete a "draft" email that is a draft "forward", it also deletes the original email.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open an email
    2. Press the "forward" button
    3. A "new message" will appear with the forwarded email
    4. Close the app, or go back, or navigate out. Any of these actions will save your mail as a "draft"
    5. Open your drafts
    6. Delete the new message that is a "forward". Confirm that you want to delete this "draft" email.
    7. Check your inbox
    8. Expected result:…

  12. Keep on current email, without jumping around; then have to scroll up or down to find where you were at!!!!

    Please make it so one does not have to jump around after viewing an email, to have to navigate to go where you first were. I was able to change the option of deleting an email(it comes back to where you were first viewing), BUT if you just view an email and exit out--you are not where the original email was. Please STOP the 'jumping around movement' of where we are currently viewing. It definitely makes for a longer period of viewing email than I want to spend.

  13. Scroll bar does not work right for moving messages to folders when starting from one message that is being read

    The scroll bar to move down the list of folders does not work right when moving a message to a folder, but this problem only happens when I'm starting from one message being read.

    Everything is okay if I start from the message list.

    Basically, the scroll bar only scrolls within the window. This makes it hard to reach the folder I want, especially since I have a large number of folders.

  14. emails keep jumping up to first email

    As I scroll through my emails, whenever I open one, then close it to continue scrolling instead of seeing the next email in the list, the list jumps back up to the first email. This is frustrating and time consuming. CAN YOU FIX THIS PROBLEM?

  15. automatically refresh and sends me back to the beginning.

    when scrolling through messages the yahoo mail page suddenly seems to automatically refresh and sends me back to the beginning. This happens every 10 to 30 seconds making it difficult to go through the emails

  16. Tabs are hard to close now.

    The new "tabs" are ****. You have to hover in just the right spot to get the X to close it, and then it sometimes disappears before you can click it and you have to try the hover move again.

  17. signature issue

    I changed my signature several days ago and the new signature shows on the settings page. But when I compose an email the old signature still shows.

    I tried to go through help, but it wouldn't let me proceed.

  18. external images

    Even though I have external images disabled in my settings, webmail (I'm using Firefox) is displaying those images anyway, with a message saying that they are shown by default, along with a link to the the settings. I've tried changing the setting back and forth just in case, and it still doesn't work.

    This has only started happening with the recent site redesign.

  20. In Dark Mode, links in a mail's text are not highlighted in color

    In Dark Mode, links in a mail's text are not highlighted in color, but in the same color as the rest of the text.

    Links which are not underlined are not recognizable as links.
