  1. 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.

  3. Yahoo Mail Plus subscription on an annual basis?

    Hello Team,

    Is it true that you can't get (buy) a Yahoo Mail Plus subscription on an annual basis? I'm referring to the subscription that removes ads from your email.

    I can't see all my inbox message, like I could do before.
    Sections of the inbox message to the right cannot be seen - it's cut off.

  5. Make the box less busy, crowded looking

    I hate the new Yahoo mail format. The look is too crowded, close together, too busy looking. It gives me a slight headache just trying to focus on what I need to. Can hardly distinguish the ads from the emails as they are intermingled in together. I do not like how Yahoo decide what is primary and what is not. There is a space/box to the right of the opened emails that I can't see how to move as it makes the emails themselves have smaller room to enlarge to be able to read the entire email without having to…

  9. 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

  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…

  13. 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!!

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  19. 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.
