  1. My Yahoo contacts are not syncing properly with the native Contacts app on my iPhone.

    When I create a new contact through the iPhone Phone app, the contact is successfully saved to my Yahoo account and is visible when I sign in to Yahoo Contacts online. However, the contact does not appear in the Contacts app on my iPhone.

    I have already completed the following troubleshooting:

    • Confirmed that the correct Yahoo account is connected to the iPhone
    • Confirmed that Contacts syncing is enabled
    • Turned Yahoo Contacts syncing off and back on
    • Removed the entire Yahoo account from the iPhone
    • Restarted the iPhone
    • Re-added the Yahoo account using the built-in…

  5. Fix the Printing Scale (You Just Broke It)

    The "New" Yahoo Mail's print function doesn't print the email scale correctly. It shrinks the email contents down very small, a small percentage of an 8.5"x11" page, making it very hard to read. The header text is similarly VERY small and hard to read. The print function in the previous version worked perfectly fine. Changing the scale option in the browser's printer options doesn't help this. For example, if you increase the browser's print scale to 130%, the email contents disappear off the side of the page. So this is not a browser issue. Yahoo Mail is forcing a huge…

  6. Stop Blocking the Navigation Bar with "Undo Delete"

    This "new thing" is obtrusive and considerably annoying. You moved it up and out of the way for a couple of days yet now IT'S BACK. Get rid of it....move it up...whatever. I'm about an inch away from going back to Outlook. That's how much some of us hate this "led by the nose" experience with Yahoo Mail!

  7. Fix the date on the print view to show the correct time zone instead of UTC

    When printing a document, it shows up with UTC at the printout, which is very confusing because you would expect it to show the current time. Also, further down the page, it shows the correct time zone, which makes it even more confusing. Please unify this and stop printing UTC on the top of my printouts. Thank you.

  8. show next message option displays previous message

    The "Show next message" setting displays the previous message instead of the next message. The issue is reproducible in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge and by clearing cache. The issue occurs using the move message function from the folder icon and the delete message function. A capture of the issue is provided and at 00:18s where the previous message is displayed when the show next message option is selected. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o0oY9sGHaM

    Secondly, how do users respond for User Voice? Our confusion is there is no Reply option as shown here - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_K9bkHka6E3BORO3W1Tt_tvWy2x3CLKO/view?usp=sharing

  9. Be able to close AI search results or previews

    I am searching for a specific email sender. The software shows two large buttons in the middle of the screen of the latest two emails from this sender. This takes up the majority of my screen. I cannot close it. Below it, I only can see 4 emails that I need to scroll through. This is a bad feature. There needs to be a way to minimize or close this preview.

  10. Bring back the right-click "Create Filter" option

    Hello,

    I hope you're doing well.

    Since the recent Yahoo Mail update, I've noticed that the "Create Filter" option no longer appears in the right-click menu when I right-click an email.

    I used this feature regularly, as it made it quick and easy to create filters and organise incoming messages into folders. It was a really useful part of my workflow, and I miss having it available.

    Would you please consider restoring this option in a future update? I think it would be a valuable improvement for users who rely on filters to keep their inbox organised.

    Thank you very…

  14. attachment filenames with greek characters are not displayed on iphone

    Hello,

    I have been using Yahoo Mail via Chrome on Windows for years without any issues. However, during the last week, a new problem has appeared.

    When I send email attachments (PDF, DOCX, JPG) with Greek filenames, recipients using Apple Mail on iPhone cannot open them correctly. The attachment name appears encoded, for example:

    =?UTF-8?Q?...

    instead of the actual Greek filename.

    If I rename the same file using only Latin characters, the attachment opens normally on the iPhone.

    The files themselves are not corrupted. The problem seems to occur during the email sending process, as the filename encoding appears to…

    Hi Lindsay, we tried replicating this issue and it worked fine for us. So our team had additional questions...

    Can you tell us what browser and browser version you're using?

    How many contacts are in your list, and whether this happens every time or only sometimes?

    Last, a screen recording showing the issue would be very helpful.

    Thanks!!

  16. Problem with cursor while composing

    I am a long-time yahoo mail user. There is a problem with using Yahoo email while composing messages and how that interracts with advertisements cycling to new ones. When a new ad populates, it steals the cursor from the compose window causing any further keystrokes to be seen as hotkeys. This is a major usability issue that needs to be resolved as it makes yahoo mail nearly unusable while composing emails of any length. Please address.

  17. Let us OPT OUT of these motivational "challenge" notifications in email

    These are very annoying for people who don't need to be motivated to do what we're already doing. I want LESS clutter in clearing my inbox, not something else I need to click off. I don't want these motivational things like, "You're doing great! Keep it up!" just for clearing my trash bin or sent emails periodically, which I've done for years anyway. The only notifications I want from Yahoo are when I have emails I need to open that someone has sent me, or if there is a problem in some way with my account. NOTHING else. Please give…

    Hi Paola, can we please have a bit more info? Can you please elaborate? Are you writing an email and it saves as a draft and when you go back it's gone? We can't try and replicate because we definitely need more steps, context. Thanks.

  20. Creating A List

    I am trying to create a list in Yahoo mail. I successfully created the list and added one contact, but I need to add 15 more. When I open the list and click Add Contacts then type the name exactly as it appears in the contacts, it does not find the name. But when I click all contacts, the name is there with a valid email address. This appears to be a bug in Yahoo.
