  1. translation

    Please program a language translation feature for translating emails received in other languages. For example --- If I make a reservation for a hotel in Mexico and receive a message in Spanish, I would like to be able to have the program translate the message to English. At present, I have to forward the message to a Google account to make that possible.

  2. Zoom - Meeting Invitations

    The old yahoo would give me the meeting along with the zoom invite in emails. This version is not giving me the date of the meeting to RSVP to with the zoom like like it should!

  3. Put the list back

    Where is the idea list? How can I search ideas if you you remove the list? What's WRONG with you? Is there a competent person under 30 (40?) in the workforce these days? Or is this even handled by humans at all?

  5. When I select "full calendar" I can only see today's calendar instead of a monthly calendar.

    Can only see today's calendar, not a week or monthly calendar of events. This greatly diminishes value of the calendar. Give back the weekly monthly and year calendars. We are not fans of the new Yahoo.

  6. email preferences

    Where is the preference/option/setting to fix the way my email is displayed? I am scrolling through ONE email chain that has dozens of replies, and they seem to be out of order. I can't tell which end of the chain is the beginning and which is the end without doing an (unnecessary) analysis of the date/time stamps on each message.

    Give me an easily accessible way to "sort" the email ascending or descending by date/time.

  8. why do emails written and hit send--disappear with no trace?

    Why do emails written and ready to send, hit send and sometimes get an error "email cannot be saved as draft". The fully composed email no longer shows up anywhere---not in draft, not in sent, not in inbox. NOWHERE--as if it was never written. This has happened several times to important emails. They vanish without a trace. The former email never had this problem. This is an urgent issue.

  9. Bug: Deleting a draft deletes entire conversation email thread

    When I delete a single draft email within a conversation email thread, the entire email thread is permanently deleted instead of just the draft. This is a serious data loss issue. Drafts should be treated as separate items within a thread and not control the existence of the entire conversation. Please fix this behavior immediately in Yahoo! Mail.

  10. home page layout

    your new layout is TERRIBLE. I cannot access the down arrow for subfolders and cannot get into most of my files in those folders. There is no option in Setting that I can find to make adjustments. I need HELP IMMEDIATELY to get into my Inbox files. To be clear the Expand arrows pointing downward do not show up on the right because the left shoulder is too narrow and I cannot adjust it.

  12. Multiple selection

    I am having a LOT of issues with the new Yahoo Inbox. If I try to select all the emails between one and another (click, hold shift, then click) weird things are happening. Sometimes it will also select emails outside the range, it may also miss emails within the range. Please fix this, as it is very annoying.

  13. improve "delete" function

    When I want to clean up the "Newsletters", I go into newsletters, select all, and delete. Then to my horror, I find ALL emails in all the other sections are also deleted, and no way to "undo" it.
    Here's a crazy idea: how about making "select all" apply to ONLY the category we are actually in, not to the entire emails for all time. Doesn't that make sense? If I want to clean out "Offers", why in God's name would I want to also clean out all my "Primary" emails? Geez, people, use use some common sense.

    Hi Rick, is this happening on desktop or the app? We knew about this issue and already have a fix for the app, but this wasn't an issue on desktop. This section is for only desktop, please put app feedback in their channels. Thanks!!

  16. Yahoo Calendar Invite Preview

    Even though my timezone is set to Central time EVERY calendar invite I receive from anyone, shows EDT in the preview. This is very confusing and super annoying. This is not device related. It shows up in EDT using different browsers and different devices. The issue is not the sender, it's somewhere in yahoo setting which is impossible to find

  17. Moving messages from Sent box to inbox

    For some reason, yahoo mail has changed in the last week or so. Used to be I could send a message to someone, and then move that sent message back to my inbox so I could remind myself if the person didn't respond. Now when moving that message, it says that it "moved to primary", but it's not there.

    Also yesterday I encountered another new situation that is a change. An incoming messsage dropped into the spam folder that I didn't want to be spam. When I try to move it to the inbox, it will not move there.

  18. After selecting a folder from the Move drop down, keep that location for the next Move

    When an email is to be moved to a folder and you select a folder from the Move dropdown, the next time you want to do the same thing, the Move dropdown has returned to the top folder.

    Fix: Keep the top Dropdown folder showing the last one used. It used to work this way.

    If you reply to an email, that crates 2 emails for the one sent. To move them both into the same folder, you select file from the Inbox, select the Move dropdown, scroll to the folder and move the file. Then go to the Sent…

  19. Add a Subscriptions tab to the desktop version

    It is not very easy to find subscriptions from emails like it is in other mails where u can easily go to a subscriptions tab and unsubscribe from there instead of having to go through the emials, I know you can do this on the yahoo app but I cant seem to do this on my desktop so if you could please add a tab on the side for subscriptions. Thank you!

  20. The floating "offers" icon

    While I am reading emails in the Priority tab of my inbox, there is a small "Offers" icon floating between the Priority tab and the list of emails. I want to be able to disable that little floating "offers" icon, because if I wanted to read emails sorted to my Offers tab, I would manually click the Offers tab to read them. I do not need a hovering little icon to remind me there are unread emails in another section.
