  1. deleting emails

    When deleting emails and your several pages down and when you erase it goes back up to the top of the emails. I need it to stay where I had the last deleted email to continue to erase more emails further down. Please remove the default to go back to the top. Thanks

  4. Comcast to Yahoo conversion

    I just completed the switch from Comcast delivering my email to Yahoo delivering my email. It was not easy. I suggest that someone (Xfinity or Yahoo) should create a how to switch set of instructions. Currently Comcast just throws you on to the Yahoo screen. It would help to let you know ahead of time that you are to sign on using your Comcast email an pass word. It would also help to know that you have to change your external mail app to a new address. Comcast should also allow a few weeks to compare what you had under…

  6. Can't scroll in the email

    I like the new email but I am not able to scroll to see the full email. when I go into the email I can see that there is a bar on the right side of the email but when I go to click on it, it isn't there. I did try to use the down arrow by clicking in the email but that did not work either.

  7. Scroll doesn't work

    Yahoo mail does not handle scroll / zoom correctly on Windows. When viewing inbox, options on the left can't be scrolled to the bottom. When composing, it is not possible to scroll to the SEND option. The "pop out" works but should not be required. Basic email didn't have these problems. I'm about ready to switch to gmail....

  9. having to refresh after changing category

    Why do I have to hit refresh everytime I move to a different catagory. For instance if I go to empty spam folder, I double check before marking to be deleted. Then after I check them to be deleted I have to hit refresh before it will delete. This happened in the last week.

  10. Mobile flip phone compatibility

    you broke mail l0g1n about two weeks ago on a 4G Kyocera flip phone using the phones web browser. It just sits there spinning and not giving an error message or letting me see my mailbox. I'm not paying for phone support for a poorly tested way to get to my account when its a yahoo created problem that was working two weeks ago. No I cant use apps on the flip phone, nor alternate passcodes, nor are there anymore phone software updates. Its also bad that you can't determine from what type of phone I have that it cant…

  12. Editing email drafts is very frustrating when cursor disappears after auto save and email draft disappears and goes to another email draft.

    Very frustrating to edit an email in drafts because the cursor disappears after auto save. Plus, email disappears and goes to next draft email every-so-often so trying to edit/write draft.

  13. Add filter option in email header

    In the header there should be an option to define a filter on the sender. Way too cumbersome to set up filters.
    Also it is impossible to register for premium for non-US citizens! It is a recurring problem. Very strange.

  15. left column navigation

    Left column navigation is impossible with new yahoo mail on smaller screens. On a 13" laptop, the left column menu options (inbox, sent, drafts, etc.) become "frozen" since the vertical scroll bar disappears.

  16. All the ability to report inappropriate ads

    The Ad "SecretMeet" is completely inappropriate. Please do not let these types of domains advertise on your site and I do not want them appearing at the top of the inbox. Allow me to report them as inappropriate instead of asking me to sign up and pay for additional services. I don't mind seeing ads especially since the service I have is free, but I can't get these inappropriate ones removed from my inbox for some reason.
