  1. Drastic reduction from 1 TB to 15 GB

    Why Yahoo, after so many years, according to an email I received today, since May 05, 2026 intends to drastically reduce inbox's size (from 1 TB to merely 15 GB) and calls it an "improvement"? It feels like an attempt to force users to switch from free plan to paid plan but I reviewed the information about pay plans and even the key information about their capacity seems to be missing. I am not sure how I'll be able to delete 50% of my storage - I have 28 GB and would never expect that steep reduction from 1 TB…

  2. Email view settings: Compact view

    Thanks for the new interface. however, it would be great to continue having the compact / comfortable space options to view email. this feature seems to have been remove and it now takes more scrolls to view email at a glance

  3. Calendar Display Inconsistent

    Calendar items are abbreviated now. Back and forth between abbreviated and full display. I so much prefer full display of calendar items. In fact, the whole reason to use Yahoo Calendar is the complete display of calendar items without clicking on something.

  4. DO NOT SHOW MY EVENTS AS “3 MORE” OR "2 MORE" IN THE MONTHLY FORMAT, I NEED TO SEE THEM ALL, ALL AT ONCE

    I am having major issues with the updated changes to the Calendar, very dissatisfied

    PLEASE FIX THIS
    DO NOT SHOW MY EVENTS AS “3 MORE” OR "2 MORE" IN THE MONTHLY FORMAT, I NEED TO SEE THEM ALL, ALL AT ONCE

    I NEED TO SEE THEM TO BOOK TIMESLOTS

    IT IS NOT HELPFUL TO CLICK THE “3 MORE” AND HAVE A LITTLE WINDOW SHOW UP

    I NEED TO BE ABLE FOR ALL TIMESLOTS TO BE VISIBLE ON THE MAIN SCREEN AT ALL TIMES.

    WE HAVE DOZENS OF BOOKINGS IN A DAY
    THE EVENING BOOKINGS AS WELL NEED TO BE VISIBLE…

  5. Calendar Scheduling

    Whenever I click on the date, I want to schedule an event, the date is off by at least a day. Even when I amend the date and save the event is off by a day. So I have to end up dragging the event to the correct day. It's a BIG hassle to say the least. Please rectify this buy at your earliest convenience. Thanks in advance !!!

  6. More fixes for Calendar!

    I do not like the colored dots beside an event-I need the color bar, as it used to be shown. I also used the flag type to determine the status of my events-with no flags being shown, I cannot tell what is going on. Are these changes or is my calendar broken?

  7. Fix the Calendar!!!

    When I choose a day to add an event-it opens using the current day-not the day I chose. It also does this when I use the dropdown menu for adding an event or task. This is very frustrating & inconvenient; especially after years of choosing a day & have that day screen open.

  8. Calendar changes make calendar more difficult to use.

    Suddenly, week and month displays are abbreviated into one line. I can't read an entry without clicking on it. The previous version of calendar with multi-line readable entries was so easy to use. The new version with ugly colors has just been such a mess.

  9. Please go back to the old Yahoo calendar!

    This new calendar is awful! The tags all show as little dots of the same color instead of the tags I use to color-code my family's activities. The tags are now useless.

    I like to view the whole month at a time. With the last change, it always defaulted to the week view, which was annoying. Now it is back to the month view as default, but it does not show everything that is on each day without having to click a button to see the additional items. I need to be able to see all items on my month-view…

  10. Why do Calendar appointments default to "All Day" appointments now?

    Please set it back the way it was before. You are creating more work for users.

  12. Allow to create small mailing list groups

    It would be super helpful to create a group, like "Summer Vacation" or "coworkers" or "in-laws" and then add people to that group so later when I want to send an email (e.g. forward a photo from my phone I just took) to that group, I do not have to first save the photo, then look for the latest email to find the thread, then add the photo & send it, or manually add every recepient all over again, hoping that nobody is left out. It's such a simple thing, I don't understand why it is not yet possible... It's…

  13. Fix the "recent emoticon" option.

    When I want to select an emoticon, the recent ones are not available. I have to type into the search to find the icons that I usually use. Why is the clock indicating "recent" not working?
    I did an experiment. I searched for two icons and saw the "recents" until I closed the icon selection box. When I opened it a second later, the recents were forgotten.

  15. can't scroll through folders anymore when dragging message to folder

    It used to be that, when dragging a message to a folder, if there were more folders than could be viewed, you could just drag the message "beyond the bottom" and the folders would scroll up... This no longer works (on new or old yahoomail). instead, I just get a red circle with a slash.

  18. Sending Videos

    When I send a video of mine from Vimeo- I always got a Thumbprint ID so I knew the video I was sending was correct. With the NEW email I don't get that Thumbprint confirmation. I always wonder if the correct video I'm sending IS correct? You might want to re-add that feature on the NEW email. Other than that aspect it's ok.

  20. calendar needs help

    I don't know what happened but my calendar has changed is basically not at all useful. Anytime I'm invited from an outlook account now - for a teams meeting - there is no link for me to follow to join the meeting. The calendar defaults to a week view - and I have to change it to a month view every time. I like the old one better.
