  1. Return to Classic Mail

    Go back to the original Yahoo. This is terrible. Why do I have to click on the 3 dots on the bottom to get the Spam and Trash Folders. They should be on the top with the icons for inbox, etc.

  4. Calendar Feedback

    Why have red/yellow green flag notations at all when they don't show up on my calendar page? And why can't I see all of events that I've entered onto a certain date? I use the flags to help find certain events when I need to remind myself of something. And I don't want to go through extra steps to view the whole day, regardless if was in the past or the future. In short, IMO, the current format sucks 💩.

  5. unable to move emails from sub folder to inbox

    i can move emails from inbox to a subfolder, but if i make a mistake i cannot move from a subfolder to inbox. drag and drop doesn't work nor does ticking the checkbox and clicking on 'move to inbox'. it doesn't work in standard or basic yahoo versions.
    This includes the spam folder which now has some emails incorrectly put there by yahoo's filters from my bank that i cannot move back to the inbox.

  7. Search Emails by Keywords

    The new Yahoo Mail version does not allow you to search emails by keywords as the previous version did. This is an important feature which needs to be added back immediately.

  8. Advertisement issues - Virus

    advertisements that can result in a virus like encounter should not be allowed on yahoo mail. the ad prompted me to a page which resulted in a screen and audio claiming my computer was corrupted and i should not shut or close the computer and asked me to call Microsoft at the telephone number on the screen. because i was afraid to do that i had to shut the computer down manually and reboot.

  12. Turn Off "Streaks"

    I hate this annoying "Streaks" thing you've just started in Yahoo Mail. It has no discernable purpose. I can't find a way to turn it off in my desktop view. Show me how to turn it off - by an easy toggle preferably - or eliminate it. Please.

  13. 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.

  14. Ads: Fake Checkboxes - Looks Like an Email

    Ads in my inbox should not be permitted to look like a checkbox to get clicks.

    I had an ad with a box that appeared to be a checkbox, I clicked and it took me to what appeared to be a malicious link. I think it is likely something as a scare tactic to sell some form of PC protection service.

  17. Search results are obscured

    When searching on a particular word I get results where two results are highlighted at the top as two windows. The remainder of the results appear below these, but no matter how I try to format or change screen size etc. I can see at most one line or even one-half of a line. I cannot expand the remainder of the results and I cannot reduce the size of the top items highlighted at the top. I end up having no way to search my mail.

    Hi Marc, thank you for the feedback and elaborating. Definitely super helpful. Can you share with us your browser, browser version and send us any screenshots to oasis.mail.feedback@yahooinc.com? This would be super helpful in debugging and replicating the issue.

  18. Stop Showing Ads in Yahoo Mail+

    When I signed up for Mail+, one of the key benefits was an ad-free experience across Yahoo. Since then, that benefit has disappeared, and they've even reduced the amount of inbox storage available. Yet I'm still paying for the "no ads" promise.

    So imagine my surprise when I opened my inbox and was greeted by a massive promotion for 50% off the first year of Monarch—presented as a special "perk" for Mail+ users. But let's be honest: it's an ad. And not a subtle one, either. It's huge.

  19. 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.

    Hi Desiree, we're not able to replicate the issue, our Conversation threads shows up on in order.. can you send us screenshots of this happening? As long as they are not personal, we'd love to see what you're seeing, please. Thank. you!!

  20. 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.
