  1. MOVE option not working

    I receive messages from EBAY concerning automatic searches I have set up with them Most of these correctly go to the OFFERS folder but some go to PRIORITY. I select the message in PRIORITY and clicked on MOVE, select MORE OPTIONS. change the pull-down menu to OFFERS and click the MOVE button. The message disappears from PRIORITY. When I click to OFFERS folder, that message from EBAY is not there. I checked the other folder and it is not in either of them. If I go back to the PRIORITY folder, the EBAY message is there.

  5. Bug: Page elements can appear cut off

    Sometimes I will open an e-mail in the new yahoo mail for desktop and the page elements will adjust incorrectly. The entire message pane goes upward and the compose button almost disappears. I took a screenshot https://i.imgur.com/yWpjiCx.png

  6. links jump to beginning of email

    when typing out an email, and trying to paste in a URL, say for a restaurant menu - it gets shoved to the start of the email??? I cannot post a URL in the body of an email? Crazy, weird? WHY?

  7. Cannot Accept Teams Invite

    There is nowhere i can accept an invite for a Teams meeting when party send an invite. please fix this. Not only can I not accept the invite, I cannot even see the time the invite was sent for. How embarrassing. Yahoo is not keeping up with the times, and it may be time to switch to a new email service.

  9. Photos View

    There used to be an images or photos folder on the side that showed you all the images in your emails all together in a collage of thumbnails.

    It was a critical search feature to my work.

    Now, I know I can click on the advanced search function and click the "photo pill" but that does not help at all.

    Sure, it sorts out the emails that contain photos, but it does not display the images unless you click into each individual email, so you have no way of locating the picture you are looking for quickly or easily. You…

  10. Contacts List Cut Off

    1) I am not able to add a new contact to my contact list. When I open up New Contact, the box does not provide enough room for me to input the contact data. Only 1/2 of the contact information box is visible, as the contact information box is blocked by the inbox emails to its left. Can this please be fixed.

    2) Also, why did you discontinue "attach document from previous email" as an attachment option when sending documents? The only option is to attach documents from my files. Your previous version was far more user friendly when it…

  14. Send Button in Long Thread

    In the new email, if I'm in a long thread, I have to scroll way way down to get to the SEND button. Can't you put it on the top? THAT would be an improvement.

  16. 'Schedule Send' and 'Undo Send' across all platforms

    I’ve noticed that the Yahoo Android mail app includes the “schedule send” and “undo send” options, which are handy features I regularly rely on. However, these options aren’t currently available when using Yahoo Mail on a web browser. Since these features greatly enhance the user experience and help set Yahoo Mail apart, it would be fantastic to see them implemented consistently across all platforms. Since the backend already supports these functionalities, extending them across all platforms seems like a great addition. Would you consider adding this to your future updates?

  17. Add an option to turn off AI summaries.

    It might be useful for people with robust business-style accounts, but most of my messages are already short, or they're notifications. It makes the "summaries" redundant and obnoxious.

  18. Coming Soon: Default to "ALL" Instead of "Priority"

    I will often let Offers and Newsletters pile up for a while, then go through them all in one go. But, annoyingly, if I open a message from, say, the Newsletters view, then move the message to a folder, I get put back into Priority view - argh! It should return to the most recent view I was using (Newsletters).

  19. Differentiation Between Unread and Read Emails

  20. Delete e-mail

    With the new UI I think the pop-up that says "Message Deleted" appears right on top of the Delete button. I typically delete my e-mails in preview mode which I don't see as an option in the new UI which allows me to see the e-mail briefly and then click the Delete button in most cases. Now I have to open the e-mail click Delete, then wait for the pop-up to disappear or manually close it, before I can delete the next e-mail. If you just move that pop-up off to the right of the toolbar then I would be…
