  1. Draft emails just delete while you are working on them

    Three times I have been writing an email and suddenly yahoo just says your email has been deleted. It just happened to me 11:47am 6/20/25 AZ time. I am so frustrated. I don't know why this happens and how to stop it.

  3. Trash and Spam folders - Thank you!!

    Hi! A few weeks ago I had sent in a suggestion to put the Trash and Spam options back on the main folder list (instead of buried under the ...). You did it and I'm so pleased. Thank you very much for listening and for acting on this suggestion.

  4. Remove the ads from the bottom of the email reading screen

    The ads to the side are somewhat unobtrusive, but now with ads at the top of the email and at the bottom of the email, there's hardly room for the message! Please remove the ad banner from the bottom of the email. This has gone too far!!!!

  6. Fixing Issues with Fonts

    I would like the Font that I selected in my Yahoo Mail settings to function when I write an email. I chose Classic- Medium. When I write an email, the font automatically reverts to Classic, Tiny. I have to consistently change the font while writing the email to Classic Medium. Can you fix this ongoing issue?

  7. Copy/paste an email address

    Why is it impossible to copy/paste an email address?

    For example, in the "To" you add a name. Then, there's no way to click it, to grab the text of the email address.

  8. backspace deletes emails that are being replied to

    When I try to reply to an email and I hit the back space, at all, it deletes the entire email. I just hit the back space on a very important thread of emails and it permanently deleted the entire string of emails I have been trying to work out a return for an expensive product for. When an email is in my inbox, it will automatically send it to the trash folder and exit the email if I press the back space and it does this without warning. the reply function/forward seems very buggy and there was also an…

  9. external images

    Even though I have external images disabled in my settings, webmail (I'm using Firefox) is displaying those images anyway, with a message saying that they are shown by default, along with a link to the the settings. I've tried changing the setting back and forth just in case, and it still doesn't work.

    This has only started happening with the recent site redesign.

  10. Hard to distinguish between read and unread mail in dark mode after recent change.

    Now the only indication in dark mode that an item has been read is the dot to the left of a message is no longer visible. It would be great if the item was black instead of gray similar to the hover action. I believe this was the case in previous versions. The class that changes when hovered is here: #Atom .j4_n:hover
    {
    box-shadow: none;
    }

    If this would happen when read that would help with readability.

    Thanks,

  12. 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…

  13. Protect Starred/Tagged Emails from "Select All" Deletion

    The 'Select All' feature is fantastic for quickly clearing junk. However, when 'Select All' is used, it includes emails that I have already marked as Starred (or otherwise "tagged important").

    My suggestion is that the system should be designed to automatically exclude any emails that are Starred/Tagged Important when the user selects 'Select All' for deletion. This would prevent accidentally deleting priority messages while mass-clearing the inbox.

    In short: Starred/Important emails should be protected from the 'Select All' function for deletion.

  14. file name of attachment

    I sometimes receive emails with Attached files, and it's important for me to easily read the Full File name of the attached files, and I'd like to do this w/o opening the file.

    For example, if I am working on a project with someone and they are sending me attachments with file names that have a rev number in them or other information in the file name that gives me information on the file. I don't see anyway to view the full file name except by downloading the file. I would like to be able to hover my cursor over…

  16. Add a "compact" view to the email interface

    Paddings are way too large, text is too big:
    - Around the top nav bar
    - The rows with the emails are way too large, I'd like to see more of them on my screen
    - The buttons are way too big they have too much padding

    Other issues :
    The search bar is not centered in the middle
    Hovering over the rows (emails) has an outer box shadow which feels clunky, I prefer the subtle highlights.
    The new message button is HUGE too much padding and margins

  17. 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.

  19. Migration from Comcast

    I've migrated from Comcast to Yahoo. There is no help available for technical issues on this migration.
    The account that got set up for me at Yahoo is an IMAP account. l need it to be a POP account. The way to do this from my Mac OSX mail client is to delete the IMAP account and create a new POP account. I can delete the IMAP account on my Mac Mail client but I can't create a POP account. That's probably because it thinks I'm creating an account at comcast.net because of my email address. I'm very glad I…

  20. Improved Calendar Event Editing

    When I edit an existing Calendar Event - change the date - then click on another field such as the time - the square calendar box where I selected the new date does NOT close. This makes it difficult to select the SAVE button. Please improve this.
