  3. Email Locations

    I have 3 emails. I want all 3 emails at the top of the page. I DO NOT WANT an icon paper tray with only one email address! I should not have to scroll down and find the other 2 emails to check for mail. Why would you change that? This is stupid! More work, and it is not organised sufficiently. I need to see if I have emails from these 3 addresses in one place. I will miss them if I can't see them in one spot. CHANGE THIS IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!!!! If you have to have this stupid fancy inbox…

  5. Options for older/better versions of Yahoo

    I am very unhappy with the new Yahoo Mail interface. Several essential features that I relied on daily have been removed, including compact spacing, message layout options, the reading pane, and the classic settings panel. The new version feels stripped down, less customizable, and harder to navigate.

    The inbox is more cluttered, the spacing options are limited, and the removal of the traditional layout controls has made the interface significantly less efficient. The previous version allowed me to organize and view my email in a way that worked for me. This new version does not.

    Please restore the classic customization…

  6. Yahoo Notepad

    Unable to download Notepad backup. Getting error Will be Right back, Engineer are working, then from where do we get back our data from? I felt due to technical issues, you may extend the 15th August date. Please allow some more time.

    It is really sad that we are Yahoo loyal customers since years. Initially you had withdrawn beautiful Yahoo Groups services & now you are removing Notes/ Notepad. Don't know why, but please allow some platform for same. Google has Keep, then why Yahoo has to remove it.

  10. Difficult to see new messages, Priority tab - I hate it

    1. When new messages come into the Inbox on a laptop/desktop computer using a browser to access Yahoo Mail (and not a phone or tablet), it's difficult to differentiate between the messages being NEW vs. old ones still sitting in the inbox. The new messages aren't highlighted well enough or bold enough to make it clear they are not old messages. I've accidentally deleted new messages thinking they were old several times now. Frustrating! It would be a better idea to have new messages in the list of messages to be highlighted (perhaps with a yellow highlight background or something), so…

  11. BUG Report - Hotkeys going active after an autosave while editing draft.

    when editing a draft, after some time it will autosave. this autosave causes what I can only describe as a kind of "loss of focus" of the edit mode and the keyboard shortcuts in mailbox go active. typing after this autosave while trigger functions in the mailbox, such as typing "m" for example will take user back to inbox in the middle of editing a draft.. steps to replicate:

    step 1: start a draft in yahoo, type some stuff, hotkeys not active. typing is normal and as user expects
    step 2: wait for autosave
    step 3: type some stuff to…

  13. remove the offending sarcasm and add missing features

    you wrote: "*Those asking about going back to the old version. Unfortunately, if you do not see the "Go Back" button you cannot go back. We really hope you'll try the new experience! Thanks!"

    We were obviously forced to used the "new experience". It is unfortunately much worse then the previous version. Why can't you just delay the new version until it at least have the same features as the previous one???

    Example of missing feature: we can not add simply files from previous emails, we must save them first locally.

    We can not simply view addresses (to, cc, bcc)…

  18. In dark mode, it is difficult to identify which folder is active

    I like the new dark mode, but is difficult to see which folder I am currently in. The shading could be improved to make the active folder on the left side stand out. Thank you.

  19. Search feature

    When you close a search window, please bring the user back to wherever in their inbox they initiated the search, rather than the top of their inbox. It is very frustrating when you are, for example, 100 messages into your inbox, click search, then close the search window and end up at the top of your inbox and you have to scroll back to where you want to be. The previous version of Yahoo brought you back to where you were in your inbox when you initiated the search, not to the top of your inbox.

  20. Make right side billboard smaller and hide-able.

    Billboard on the right side is overwhelming. It should be smaller or hide-able.
