  1. Email alias

    I love the new interface along with All mailboxes in one view. Easy short cuts to delete emails and navigate through.

    One issue I saw - not sure if I'm not doing it right, I have couple of alias emails on my gmail workspace, I dont see a way to reply from the email alias I received the email to.

  2. Notification Prompt Irritant

    Stop the "notification" popup! It appears several times a day when I'm checking mail. Checking "Maybe Later" doesn't cut it. I already get a notification on my phone, I DO NOT NEED A DESKTOP EMAIL NOTIFICATION!!! What an annoyance!

  3. Duplicated Attachments

    This is NOT an idea. This is a BUG in the product. When you send an attachment it is duplicating the attached files. For instance, I sent 8 files attached (pdf, xls) and when I see the sent message, it duplicated 8 files to 16 files. This is a basic functionality for an email.

  4. Bug report: deleting draft forward email, deletes the original email too

    This is a bug report with the "forward" and "draft" feature.
    When I delete a "draft" email that is a draft "forward", it also deletes the original email.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open an email
    2. Press the "forward" button
    3. A "new message" will appear with the forwarded email
    4. Close the app, or go back, or navigate out. Any of these actions will save your mail as a "draft"
    5. Open your drafts
    6. Delete the new message that is a "forward". Confirm that you want to delete this "draft" email.
    7. Check your inbox
    8. Expected result:…

  5. Scroll bar does not work right for moving messages to folders when starting from one message that is being read

    The scroll bar to move down the list of folders does not work right when moving a message to a folder, but this problem only happens when I'm starting from one message being read.

    Everything is okay if I start from the message list.

    Basically, the scroll bar only scrolls within the window. This makes it hard to reach the folder I want, especially since I have a large number of folders.

  6. Duplicate attachments

    It seems that all my old emails now have the attachments duplicated. For example if the original email had attachment X, attachment Y, and attachment Z it now still has those been then it also has a second copy of attachment X, attachment, Y and attachment Z. This has just seemed to start happening in the last few weeks and I do not understand why. I have had the free yahoo mail service for almost 20 years and recently noticed that yahoo mail is now putting storage limits on this account type and wanting those with large amounts of data…

  7. DARK MODE WHILE COMPOSING IS HORRIBLE!

    I wanted to share some feedback regarding an issue I’ve encountered while using Yahoo Mail in dark mode.

    When I compose an email with dark mode enabled, the editor displays white text on a dark background, which looks fine while drafting. However, I recently noticed that when the email is sent, the text remains white. As a result, recipients with the default white background cannot see the text unless they highlight it.

    This issue makes it extremely difficult to ensure that my messages are readable for recipients. I would like to suggest that when composing emails in dark mode, the…

  9. translation

    Please program a language translation feature for translating emails received in other languages. For example --- If I make a reservation for a hotel in Mexico and receive a message in Spanish, I would like to be able to have the program translate the message to English. At present, I have to forward the message to a Google account to make that possible.

  10. Feature Request: Follow-Up Reminders in Yahoo Mail

    Dear Yahoo Mail Team,

    I’d like to suggest a useful feature that could enhance Yahoo Mail's functionality: follow-up reminders for emails. Gmail has an option that automatically reminds users to follow up on emails they haven't received replies to, helping to ensure important conversations don’t get lost.

    A similar feature in Yahoo Mail would be incredibly beneficial for users who manage busy inboxes and need a prompt to revisit unanswered emails. Having a built-in follow-up reminder would improve email organization and efficiency.

    I’d love to hear your thoughts on this idea and whether Yahoo Mail might consider implementing something similar.…

  13. Move Spam and Trash above Folders. Now, Spam and Trash are virtually inaccessible if you keep your Folders expanded

    I saw you currently have a hint about keeping all folders expanded and this is really important. However, this is unusable right now. When Folders are expanded, it becomes a nightmare to access the Spam folder and since your filters do not work (no matter what tricks you try to make them work), easily checking the Spam folder is a must. If you expand Folders though, access to the Spam folder (and Trash as well) becomes quite hard, especially when you have a lot of folders like me. Please, move Spam (and Trash) above Folders (ideally in the section with…

  14. When I read or delete an email please return me where I left off in my inbox of emails

    When I read or delete an email from my Inbox please return me to where I left off . Your making me remember the time or subject of the emails so I can return to where I left off. Not good time management. Making me work harder not smarter .. Thank you... .

  15. NEW EMAIL AND UNREAD IN DARK MODE HARD TO DIFFERENTIATE

    In the new version of Yahoo Mail, any read and unread messages in dark mode are so hard to differentiate. It was better in the older version.

  16. Sent Folder - Mass Actions

    I'm trying to clean up my sent folder. There is no way to select multiple messages and do a mass action on them such as delete, move, archive, mark read/unread. You have to do them one message at a time. Bring back all of the action buttons that used to be at the top and also the select all messages checkbox. I don't know why these aren't there. Should be at least consistent with the other folders especially because the sent folder is one of the main folders in any email app.

  17. Conversation View

    Reading and responding to emails within a chain is almost entirely unusable. You don't need to include the entire chain of responses with every reply it makes is so confusing and unreadable.

  18. Attach from Recent Email Attachment Option

    I see the attach from computer option for adding attachments to new emails, but where did the Attach From Recent Email option go? It was very handy and saved time not having to download and reattached. Bring back 'attach from recent email' option.
