    There needs to be a way to pin frequently used folders instead of burying them under a folder icon.

  4. attachment filenames with greek characters are not displayed on iphone

    Hello,

    I have been using Yahoo Mail via Chrome on Windows for years without any issues. However, during the last week, a new problem has appeared.

    When I send email attachments (PDF, DOCX, JPG) with Greek filenames, recipients using Apple Mail on iPhone cannot open them correctly. The attachment name appears encoded, for example:

    =?UTF-8?Q?...

    instead of the actual Greek filename.

    If I rename the same file using only Latin characters, the attachment opens normally on the iPhone.

    The files themselves are not corrupted. The problem seems to occur during the email sending process, as the filename encoding appears to…

    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!!

  7. Problem with cursor while composing

    I am a long-time yahoo mail user. There is a problem with using Yahoo email while composing messages and how that interracts with advertisements cycling to new ones. When a new ad populates, it steals the cursor from the compose window causing any further keystrokes to be seen as hotkeys. This is a major usability issue that needs to be resolved as it makes yahoo mail nearly unusable while composing emails of any length. Please address.

  9. Let us OPT OUT of these motivational "challenge" notifications in email

    These are very annoying for people who don't need to be motivated to do what we're already doing. I want LESS clutter in clearing my inbox, not something else I need to click off. I don't want these motivational things like, "You're doing great! Keep it up!" just for clearing my trash bin or sent emails periodically, which I've done for years anyway. The only notifications I want from Yahoo are when I have emails I need to open that someone has sent me, or if there is a problem in some way with my account. NOTHING else. Please give…

  11. Creating A List

    I am trying to create a list in Yahoo mail. I successfully created the list and added one contact, but I need to add 15 more. When I open the list and click Add Contacts then type the name exactly as it appears in the contacts, it does not find the name. But when I click all contacts, the name is there with a valid email address. This appears to be a bug in Yahoo.

  14. 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

  15. 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.

  16. 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…

  17. 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!

  18. 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.

  19. Keep "reply", "reply all", "forward", "Read/Unread", "Star", "Move", "Delete" & "Spam" buttons positions static.

    In the latest edition of the Yahoo mail, the "reply all" button has been made conditional where it appears or disappears based on whether the email chain has one or more persons on it. When this happens, the location of the delete and spam buttons to move. Previously, I would keep my mouse on the delete button and keep clicking on it as I am going down my emails. Now, when the "reply all" button disappears, the spam button shifts to the location where the delete button used to be. And unintentionally, I end up marking the email as spam…
