  2. Account switcher broken

    The new account switcher (in the upper right) is seriously broken - it only shows 3 accounts after I click on "Add or switch accounts", when I have 4 active accounts. Worse, it doesn't show the most recently used account. For example, I recently switched from account A to account B. Now, when I select "Add or switch accounts", it shows me accounts B, C, and D. There's no way for me to get back to account A!!! Seriously broken. Also, why the extra click on "Add or switch accounts"? - This is an extra, unnecessary step. I switch accounts…

  5. 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.

  6. 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

  7. EMAIL PRINT BUTTON

    THE EMAIL PRINT BUTTON IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. YOU HAVE TO SELECT THE 3 DOTS, PRINT BUTTON, AND ALL THAT SHOWS UP IS THE HEADDER OF THE EMAIL AND NOT THE SUBJECT OF THE EMAIL. IN ORDER TO PRINT THE ENTIRE EMAIL, YOU HAVE TO HIT CANCEL AND THEN PRINT AGAIN. THIS IS CRAZY AND YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SELECT 5 DIFFERENT THINGS IN ORDER TO PRINT ONE DOCUMENT.

  8. no send button

    I use a chromebook and it has numerous problems with the new email. For one, when I try to forward an email, there is no "send" button. I may just leave yahoo for another service.

  9. 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.

  13. 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?

  14. 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…

  15. 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.

  16. In new yahoo mail, inserting an emoji into a message being composed causes the rest of the message to vanish, leaving only the emoji. WTF?

  17. 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.

  19. Calendar in the right panel

    In the new version you have starred and contacts on the right side to easily see this information without leaving mail. It would be nice to have calendar there as well to see and make small changes/additions without leaving your email to go to the calendar website. The old version was like this.

    Hi there! I love the new Yahoo interface. However when Dark Mode is activated, CSS media queries seem to be broken by the interface. A full bug report with screenshots is here: https://github.com/hteumeuleu/email-bugs/issues/159.
