  1. Allow users to sort inbox by sender.

    This allows user to delete, in bulk, emails that are not wanted.

    Hi James, thanks for your feedback. Yes, we do have sort by sender still, but just like the old version, you need to disable Conversation view. You cannot sort by sender when that is enabled. Once you disable that under Settings, you will see "Senders Name" as a sorting option.

  2. You have a dating ad that comes up on my email

    no unsubscribe button, tried blocking it and it says not valid email address and invalid domain. I WANT THEM TO STOP

    The best way to get rid of spam is to mark as spam, not delete or block! This helps with your spam filters and does exactly what blocking does, prevents that email from coming to your Inbox. So please keep marking as spam! It is free and part of regular Yahoo Mail. Thanks!

  3. Get rid of "streaks"

    This is a stupid idea. If you are going to do it, at least offer the choice to opt out.

  4. Stop jumping up and down while reviewing mail

    I am about ready to leave Yahoo Mail due to the fact that I have a lot of traffic and when I am going up or down the list, it will spontaneously jump, especially down, causing me to lose track of where I am and have to take time to rediscover my position in the list. Very frustrating and should not ever happen. Please get rid of it.

    I'm totally tired of the all-white page. What happened to the themes that used to be options? I really enjoyed knowing that when the screen was brown or blue, I was in…

    Hi Clarence, thank you for your feedback. We have seen a few reports on the scrolling and jumpy issue, but we have yet to replicate. Can you please send us your browser, browser version and a screen recording of this happening? You can send to oasis.mail.feedback@yahooinc.com. Thanks!

    Hi Chad, yes you do not have to participate with Streaks and yes, we do have a way for you to disable. Just go to your left hand navigation. Tap on the "..." (three dots) and then Your Streaks. There you can find where to toggle off the feature. Thanks.

    Hi there, thanks for your feedback. Friendly reminder to always check your Settings. Yes, we always default features including AI features to "on," but you can almost always disable or customize features under your Settings. Thanks!

  8. keep archive button on the button menu when viewing email

    It's annoying archive is hidden behind an additional menu when I'm viewing an email as opposed to my inbox. I'd like it visible there or even better a customizable icon menu

    Thanks Thomas! You're right, Archive is under the "..." (three dots) when you're in Message Read. We will share this with our team. But from the Inbox, if you click on a checkbox, the Archive icon does show up first. Thanks for your feedback.

    Hi Peter, we still have Archive with this version. Are you having trouble Archiving your email? Or are you having trouble finding the Archive folder? Let us know and we can help, but Archive is still there. That it not something we get rid of... thanks!

  11. Make it easier to find the attachment in an email.

    I cant find where to download or open an attachment sent to me in a chain email. I can find it on my phone, but not via webmail.

    Hi Cher, thank you for your feedback. Can you share screenshots of what you're seeing in chain emails? There should be a paperclip icon in the emails that have the attachment. And when you open that single email, you'll see three dots to the right side.

    Hi Patricia, thank you for loving the GIFs. Yes, unfortunately we no longer support GIFs or Stationery because it had very very low usage. Therefore with low usage and high upkeep we made the decision to not support it any more. Very sorry!!

  13. Email instead of names on inbos

    Hello, old friend. To better distinguish legitimate emails from spam, I think it’s best to display the full email address instead of just names. If possible, it would also help to detect fake addresses with altered single character that mimic official ones.

    Hi Luca, yes like the old version we give you the ability to see the full email address instead of just the sender's name. Looking at your Inbox, with your mouse, if you hover over the sender's name, it will show you the full email address. You can do this also, in the message read. Hope this helps!

  14. Please give us a chance to go back to the old yahoo, or at least recover our notes in the notepad

    The new Yahoo! Mail is horrible. I can't find my notes, the Help feature tells me to go to a place that does not exist, and I can't go back to the old Yahoo, not even to find my notes where they used to be. I understand the Notepad is going away, but removing it or making it impossible to retrieve is horrible! I absolutely HATE it! How about let us choose between the new and the old, at least until the Notepad is phased out? And now I need to sign in before posting. Yahoo is making things hard,…

    Hi Denise, if you are seeing the new layout, Notepad will be in the your top, right hand side. Next to Starred and Contacts, and above the ad. Just click on More and you'll see Notepad. Please see screenshot!

  15. Stop hiding the full email address

    Latest version of yahoo mail hides the full email address, but this is inconvenient in at least two situations. 1. someone has 2+ email addresses (e.g. home and work) and you want to see which one you're sending to. 2. malicious emails. Scammers will often send emails that appear to be from someone you know, but are in fact a subtly different email address. I recently had that. I was able to spot the scammer because I noticed that their email address was wrong, but I wouldn't have been able to do this on the new yahoo mail.

    Hi Finn, the sender's email address is just like the old version. From the Inbox, you can hover with your mouse over the sender's name and the email address will appear. The same thing when you open the email as well. Hover with your mouse. We are not hiding the email address. This was the same as the old version too. Thanks!

  16. Allow me to block logos next to emails on the desktop version

    Allow me to block logos next to emails on the desktop version, as is available in the mobile version. They clutter the appearance while adding nothing substantive.

    If you have a way to remove logos that I can't find, please let me know.

    Hi Krissy, yes you can still bulk delete! Just hover over any email and you'll see a checkbox show up to the left of the email. From there you can bulk delete, or a checkbox will appear at the very top. From that you can Select All and then Delete All.

  18. My calendar keeps disappearing.

    Please give some sort of way to report the problem besides wading through a stream of muddy situations that do not fit the problem. My email calendar is gone. What is left is a blank calendar with no information. I am not getting my alerts which are important to me. This is the 3rd time that this is happening. I have missed dates and notifications to myself and others. WOW

    Hi Barbara, thanks for the feedback. Are you not able to find your calendar? Or you've found the calendar, but it's missing? Are you logged in with the right account that would show everything on that calendar?

  19. Enable individual e-mails to be opened in new windows in browser

    In the old version of Yahoo, you could right-click over an e-mail in the inbox and select 'Open in new window'. This was really useful because I could open lots of e-mails at the same time and go back and forth - perhaps when creating a new e-mail that refers to various previous e-mails from different senders. Sadly, you've forced me to use the new 'improved' version which doesn't let me do this anymore, so I'm having to copy and paste e-mails to Notepad, and read them from there. Very complicated and time consuming. Please reinstate this useful feature. I…

    Hi Giles, thank you for your feedback. Yes, we no longer have that functionality as it had very very low usage. Instead, we do have multi-tasking tabs. Where you can open an email in another tab instead of window. Just go to Settings > Appearance and then toggle on Multi-tasking tabs. See if that works for now!

  20. Go back to the OLD INTERFACE!

    The new interface does not update timely between the desktop and mobile applications! I routinely either MISS emails or get duplicates when checking from one device to another. When I delete or read an email from one device it SHOULD immediately show the same status on the other!!!

    I do NOT need my email to categorize the email. Just give it to me as sent.

    This frustration is about to cause me to move to another email platform!!!

    Friendly reminder to always check your Settings. Yes, we introduced Inbox Categories to help organize your emails better, but we also understand that not everyone would need or want, therefore, you can disable it under your Settings and go back to having just one Inbox.
