  2. Give us the option, don't just change it.

    I don't want to change my Inbox. I try to get my email on my phone it's showing a bird sitting on an empty box. I don't want any cost.

  4. Colors for email

    The color of unselected emails in the All or Primary screens is now grey. Why is this? They should be black, and when selected, they should turn grey (or a specified color).

    I have an idea. Why don't you allow the custormer to choose the colors? Create a menu selection that opens a color table and choices for particular functions or areas of the screen. Let the customer choose what happens when something is chosen or clicked.

  5. Issue when deleting email drafts

    I've noticed since last year that when a draft is deleted and that draft is part of a chain of email exchanges, everything related to that chain of emails is also deleted, from Inbox, from Sent, etc. The only option is to send a recovery request, but that doesn't work every time. It would be very important not to delete and lose everything when deleting a draft. Thank you!

  6. Fix Message Preview Bug

    As of February 6, 2026, the message preview feature is not working as intended. Whether the feature is toggled on or off, a preview of every email is visible when the inbox is displayed. When do you expect the message preview feature to work properly?

  7. YNotes partial search does not work

    Can Notes / calendar be integrated into YMail? in Ymail app also. is it a security issue? secret notes get compromised when YMAIL gets in wrong hands?

    YNotes partial search does not work. For example if notes contains "YMail" and when I search for mail, it does not give any results. On the notes search, Need to have option for whole word search or partial search across all notes.

  8. Increase vertical space in email reading pane

    Today's emails are more tailored for mobile screens. Often email has less width but more length. Yahoo's email reading pan almost starts from bottom half of the screen hence one need to scroll more to view whole email. It would be great if length of reading window can be increased.

  13. Poor viewing pans

    Remove the fixed right pan feturing Starred/Contact section. That's a total consumtion of mail viewing pan on the right. earlier there was one click right expansion on the right view pan which is removed at teh present set up thus restricting eapnsion of the viewing pan to the right if required. Very poor design and appearance, no improvement at all, remove the guys who are formign these non-sensical type of user interface

  14. easy way to manage attached/linked applications...

    signed into USERVOICE just to send a message on here, but how do I remove or disable or detach applications linked to yahoo account?
    In google it's super easy, you see the list and delete what you don't want. In yahoo it's a mystery.

  16. Make filters EASY

    Gmail makes it so simple to set filters to send messages to certain folders. With Yahoo, it's so complicated I never remember how to do it, I have to look it up every time & it's so aggravating. It's nowhere near the inbox like it would intuitively be. It's this whole ordeal, so most of the time I'm left with this disastrous inbox of ALL THE THINGS until I get unbelievably fed up + have some minutes to re-research how to do it, and find the place to set the settings, and have to LOOK UP each individual email sender…

  17. unsubscribe popup

    Give the option to disable the unsubscribe popup. As I click to view the email, the popup appears and a click the popup instead of the email. I then have to back out and click a different part of the email.

    Annoying and a waste of my time. Maybe make it a right mouse click instead?

  18. Please Reinstate the "Today" and multi-selection on Yahoo iApp.

    I’d like to request that you reinstate the multi-selection buttons that previously allowed users to quickly Select emails from specific categories like Today or Yesterday. This feature automatically checked all messages from that day, making it fast and efficient to perform bulk actions such as deleting or organizing recent emails.

    Since the latest update removed this functionality, it has become much more time-consuming to manage daily email cleanup. Having to manually select dozens of messages that used to be selectable with one click is a significant step backward in usability.

    This feature was one of the most practical tools for…

  19. message deleted popup

    the message deleted popup is low enough that when trying to open up the first email, the popup can be miss clicked upon. just move it up a bit to appear in the "select all messages box/preferences" row.
