  1. Search by Sender

    One of the key features I use quite frequently is the "Search by Sender". I get lots of emails from specific vendors like Rumble, Zillow, and other vendors that send me notifications. In the past, I click on the "..." and I can select Search Sender, and I can find all my emails. With the new interface, you have to open the email and select "Search Sender". Why move this function to an actual email? For EMAIL management, this capability should be a mailbox feature, not a specific email feature.

  2. Storage plans confusing

    I got a strange email from Yahoo - it says I have 200GB of storage under the new plans (I subscribe to Mail Plus mobile-only). It also says I am over my quota and need to pay for more storage. But when I check my usage using the newfangled tool, it's only 24.9GB. Am I over quota or not?

  4. Allow sort by size in email

    If you are going to limit storage size it would be great if, like with outlook, we could see which emails are the main culprits, like I can in outlook. Its often the back and forth with a big powerpoint presentation or photos from my sister that can be deleted to give me months of additional normal mail space. But if I cant sort by size......

    Think about it. Help us manage the size by deleting our BIG emails. Thx

  6. Draft email not saved

    What happened to "draft" emails? I accidentally closed an email I was drafting, and it disappeared. In the past, any draft was automatically saved in "drafts". But not this time. Please advise or correct. Thank you.

  8. reply to

    What the **** ever happened to the arrow showing that I've replied to a message? Why is it gone? Is there a setting so I can put it back. So irritating!! And why am I still seeing the search field for suggested improvements right here when it doesn't work? Who's doing your coding these days? How many customers have you lost with the New Mail? Why am I getting a message that my idea is being processed and will appear shortly? WHERE will it appear? You took away the list? If you can't even get this right, what else are…

  9. Yahoo Mail Search History

    There is no way to Permanently Clear your Yahoo Mail Search History, You can delete a mail history item but it will reappear when you next sign-on to Yahoo even if you clear all cookies in all Browsers.

    Please fix!!

    Thank you,

  10. send later

    I would like the send button or menu bar to show a "send later" icon. Sometimes I want to set the date and time of a message being sent to ensure it is relevant at the time received.

  11. 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

  13. Number of TOTAL emails - Not Just Unread

    I would like to be able to see the number of total items in my inbox without having to hover or take an extra step. I know you can see the number of unread items by hovering but I would like to know the total number of items read and unread without having to hover.

  14. Renaming Folders

    When trying to rename a folder, it greys out the existing name and if you just want to add to the existing name you have to retype the entire thing. For example, if the original name is 2025-03-18 and you want to change it to 2025-03-18 $1485.00 you can't just add $1485.00 at the end - you have to retype what it was called first. Very time consuming.

    It is also cumbersome to have to hit the update button once finished typing the name change.

  15. When selecting sort - it should remain as the choice you want; should not reset each time

    I sort so that "unread" is first and then when I return to the screen it sorts right back to newest first. If I select the sort option it should stick to that choice until I change to a different choice. Ridiculous - no wonder everyone hates the new version. Stupid.

  16. Autosave glitch in Drafts

    While working on a draft from the Drafts folder, about once per minute I get bounced to the next draft in the list in mid-typing.
    I believe this might be triggered by autosave, as it doesn't seem to occur when I haven't made any changes.

  18. Can no longer forward an email and make edits without losing links in body of email

    The new version does not allow me to forward an email and make edits. I can only copy/paste, which loses the links. The old version allowed for forwarding with links remaining and the ability to edit (like filling in data needing to be forwarded). Can this functionality be returned please?

  20. Search results list should show folder

    In the old version, when you searched for a phrase or sender, and a results list was displayed, one of the columns in the results list was "folder", so you could see if the listed email was in "Inbox" or one of your other folders. I found that very helpful. It's no longer there. Once again, good functionality lost or forgotten for no apparent reason.
