  1. Bring Notepad back

    I use the notepad feature regularly and it has disappeared from my right side of my list of features. I understand this happens from time to time. Well please return it. It is a very important feature and is used a lot by me. Thank you.

    Hi Edwin, unfortunately we are EOLing Notepad, but not til August 15th. You should still be seeing Notepad on the right hand side, above the ad. Are you not seeing it anymore? Can you please send us a screenshot of what you're seeing to oasis.mail.feedback@yahooinc.com? Thank you!

  2. I can't see all my inbox message, like I could do before. I have to go all the way to the bottom of the message and use the bar .

    I can't see all my inbox message, like I could do before.
    Sections of the inbox message to the right cannot be seen - it's cut off.
    I have to go all the way to the bottom of the message and use the bar horizontally.

    Hi Lindsay, we tried replicating this issue and it worked fine for us. So our team had additional questions...

    Can you tell us what browser and browser version you're using?

    How many contacts are in your list, and whether this happens every time or only sometimes?

    Last, a screen recording showing the issue would be very helpful.

    Thanks!!

    Hi Paola, can we please have a bit more info? Can you please elaborate? Are you writing an email and it saves as a draft and when you go back it's gone? We can't try and replicate because we definitely need more steps, context. Thanks.

  7. Turn Off "Streaks"

    I hate this annoying "Streaks" thing you've just started in Yahoo Mail. It has no discernable purpose. I can't find a way to turn it off in my desktop view. Show me how to turn it off - by an easy toggle preferably - or eliminate it. Please.

  8. Calendar Feedback

    Why have red/yellow green flag notations at all when they don't show up on my calendar page? And why can't I see all of events that I've entered onto a certain date? I use the flags to help find certain events when I need to remind myself of something. And I don't want to go through extra steps to view the whole day, regardless if was in the past or the future. In short, IMO, the current format sucks 💩.

  9. Advertisement issues - Virus

    advertisements that can result in a virus like encounter should not be allowed on yahoo mail. the ad prompted me to a page which resulted in a screen and audio claiming my computer was corrupted and i should not shut or close the computer and asked me to call Microsoft at the telephone number on the screen. because i was afraid to do that i had to shut the computer down manually and reboot.

    Its getting very difficult to reply in the thread emails. Whenever I type its hides the above lines and I have to scroll up all the time; moreover, if I copy and paste then it takes me to the last message and if the email thread is long then I have search for my message again to send it.

  13. Can not forward emails with attachments

    As in a few days ago I could not forward emails with attachments. I have to go to the old version to do so.
    Also, I do not know why now every attachment gets copied twice. If I send an email with 5 attachments when I go back to my email now it has 10 files.

    How often are you allowed to make changes? It is taking way too long for these things to get fixed.

  17. Bug: The forum may be locked and I can't reply to Yahoo staff

    I have opened at least two feedback issues that have been responded to by Yahoo staff. I have no way to follow up because when I go to each page with the issue there's no way to reply and the comments are hidden. All the issue page shows is the original report. Additionally, as I reported in a separate bug, this uservoice forum does not work anymore and I can't see anyone else's ideas. I think that the forum may be locked. I don't know how you expect me to search for duplicates or reply to existing issues if the…

  18. Request to Restore Missing Emails & Folder Name Issue on Yahoo Mail via Outlook

    Dear Yahoo Mail Support,

    I am experiencing an issue with my Yahoo Mail account when using it with Outlook. I have created a new folder in Outlook and moved some emails into it. However, when I rename the folder, it automatically reverts to the original name, and the emails inside disappear.

    I have tried checking my Yahoo Mail via the web, but I could not find the emails in the original folder, Trash, or Spam. Could you please help me restore the missing emails and investigate why folder renaming causes data loss?

    Here are the details of my account and…
