  1. unsubscribe popup

    Give the option to disable the unsubscribe popup. As I click to view the email, the popup appears and a click the popup instead of the email. I then have to back out and click a different part of the email.

    Annoying and a waste of my time. Maybe make it a right mouse click instead?

  2. message deleted popup

    the message deleted popup is low enough that when trying to open up the first email, the popup can be miss clicked upon. just move it up a bit to appear in the "select all messages box/preferences" row.

  4. Dark mode viewing

    Hi Yahoo, when in dark mode in this updated UI, it's quite hard to distinguish what's been read or unread. Hope you can do something about it. Thanks.

  7. What's the point of Yahoo Mail if you can't see your mail

    I get the need for advertising and put up with the advertising on the right side of the screen but to now cut off the bottom half of our emails list to show more advertising is annoying at best and defeats the purpose of an email account. Now it is a pain in the but to see such a narrow window of emails.

  8. Make things logical !!!!!

    How do I change the font for the emails I write? I went to that section under settings and it only will show "modern" font and "tiny" text. When I click the little arrow to select a different font or size, it does not bring up any options. One time when I tried it, I saw part of an option below but it could not be selected or seen.

    I have a long correspondence with a person and when I click on the newest email, it does not always take me to that email. It takes me to a random…

  9. Layout ridimensionabile manualmente

    La colonna per la navigazione nelle cartelle è troppo piccola e deve poter essere ridimensionata liberamente o chiusa dall'utente.
    La colonna dei contatti e delle altre funzionalità note etc. deve poter essere ridimensionata liberamente dall'utente o chiusa all'occorrenza per dedicare più spazio alla lista dei messaggi.
    In generale gli spazi devono poter essere ridimensionati, altrimenti creano problemi enormi di usabilità ed accesso alle informazioni ed alla manovrabilità dei contenuti.
    Grazie

  11. Manage account button getting in the way

    Hi, on the Yahoo (Singapore) homepage, when I move my mouse to access the mail button at the top right hand corner, my cursor sometimes moves over the 'manage account' button (the one on the right of the mail button), which triggers a pop up. This pop up only disappears when I move my cursor to the very left of the mail button where the icon of the envelope is. It would help navigation smoothness if the 'trigger area' of the mail button encompasses the whole button (icon and text) and the manage account pop up disappears as soon as…

  12. Hello

    I'm looking for some help. I started typing an e-mail last night. A long one. Then my computer froze. But it was auto saving. And I copied it after it froze. But after the computer rebooted, it was gone. Not even able to paste it. It says I have 5 drafts but only 2 are in there. Is it hiding from me? Can you help me recover it please? Thank you so much. -Kevin

  13. Casella email peggiorata

    La casella è brutta, poco funzionale, peggiorata rispetto a prima. unica cosa "decente" è che si è adeguata alle nuove risoluzioni bianco o nero. Per il resto sembra di vrede quell'aborto di windows vista

  16. Per cortesia rimette i colori nella mail

    Per cortesia rimette i colori che permettevano di personalizzare la casella mail, era molto più chiaro vedere i messaggi ancora da leggere e quelli che invece erano già letti oltre che avere un tocco di vivacità che ora non ha.
    E e mio avviso l'IA che legge la mia corrispondenza (anche se in modo sicuro) non è cosa gradita e ora provo a disattivarla come dite, spero che sia effettivamente cosi..

  17. Remove contacts tab, or at least give ability to toggle this

    Please add a button so I can toggle the starred/contacts tab. It is way too big, and really not very useful. Waste of space, since the rest of the parts cannot be moved to be smaller, and emails are still too cropped.

  19. give accurate mailbox numbers

    you said my mailbox is full so I can no longer receive or send messages. I have deleted THOUSANDS of emails tonight and emptied my trash and it still says my account is 100.1% full. The size isn't going down no matter how much i delete. i'm ready to just let this account go dormant.
