  1. Show all emails by default in inbox

    Please allow a customer to choose whether they want to default to all emails or one of the other options. Default setting should be to all emails. Also, there is an issue with the inbox as new emails that should be showing in the inbox are having to be searched to find.

  3. Error issue loading email

    This is not an idea to improve but more on a report on issue I still encounter for couple of months now. Whenever I open a specific email from "Shopee" with content of advising that my parcel has been delivered, it always display "Yahoo Mail has encountered a problem. Learn more" So I can't view the content of the said email.

    Hoping that you could fix this issue.

    Thank you

  4. Need help receiving from a specific domain

    Hello. At some point I stopped receiving emails from a specific website/community/domain. feabie.com I have added their email address info@feabie.com and filtered their domain to attempt to White List so I can receive their emails. I had to do a password reset on their site but could not receive emails to fix the logon issue. It was eventually fixed through their support but I still can not receive emails from them. Can you please look into this and fix it? I believe Yahoo Mail is filtering it out before it comes to my inbox. Thanks!

  7. Your Delete All Option in Email doesn't work!!!!!

    This is not an idea, more of a feature that you supposedly offer already, however it does not work! When I select All Emails I get an option I would attach a screen shot if your feedback form had that option, or even ability to take in some graphic input. Option says (green check) 100 messages selected.Select all 154,931 messages in Inbox. I select those 154,931 the app goes through the motions of deleting it just to leave every single one of them still there.

    Also, maybe adding more formatting options to the Feedback form would help.

    Thank You.

  8. Put back the view settings

    The new email doesn't have view settings. I want to see the email content at the bottom without opening the email and I don't want the extra column at the far right side of the screen If there are settings for these items, they need to be more visible and NOT HIDDEN.

  11. Filter Email

    Please allow the option to auto filter the whole inbox after selecting the options to filter messages like this.
    This is still confusing in yahoo classic mode.
    Microsoft team allows this to filter all emails in the inbox after making the selection - yahoo does not.

  12. Dark mode is not dark. The entire screen should be enabled to dark background with light lettering.

    I was excited for the "dark mode" I use this with my work and other group email platforms. Unfortunately Yahoo's dark mode only changes everything but what is most important, the messages. While reading long emails the white background makes it difficult to read and ultimately for longer emails, I have to copy the text and paste into a document with actual dark mode to not get a headache from the stark white background. I do enjoy my yahoo mail which I have had since yahoo came about. With this major flaw paying for Yahoo premium for something other email…

  13. Unread Selection on the new mail is not working

    The “Mark as Unread” option in the new mail interface is not functioning as expected. The change is neither reflected in the inbox view nor reopening the application.

  14. Yahoo mail isn't working

  15. In order to sort mail, do you open my mail or just go by the sender address?

    Can you do a mock up of the new Yahoo? I tried one before and was very happy to be able to go back. Is the new one required? In order to sort mail, do you open my mail or just go by the sender address? If the sender is in my contacts is their mail still categorized?

  16. Undo the new changes highlighting every email.

    The small dots for unread emails is unrealistic. The old format was fine. It is impossible to see what emails are active and up to date versus emails that need attention. As a business my email impacts my livelihood and this is a great inconvenience to my day to day life.

  17. Prevent repeated failed logins by locking account

    I have a person or persons attempting to gain access to my yahoo account every 10 minutes. I suggest if a device does this it should be locked out from attempts for some period of time. I ha e denied them access literally over 200 times this week already. Its impossibly annoying to get requests every few minutes. Your security seems laking. I have 2FA and a random password. But if a device tried and is denied. Why not ban the device for 24hrs or something after 3 attempts or something like that.

    There should be an option for massage spacing in the list view.
    The current view has the messages too widely spaced.

  19. GUI Update is less functional and limits preview space for email

    The new gui view that adds a random bubble to the left hand side is invading my mail space making it harder to read my mail in preview mode. this makes me want to abandon Yahoo completely. I had relegated this to a working email but the new GUI seems to be designed to limit functional usage in favor of advertising; but i have to point out that i boycott all advertisers you present. Yahoo is one of my oldest emails but i have no sentimental attachments to this email add will abandon it if it continues to deteriorate its…

  20. Priority

    When all mail tab is selected the Priority label on all the Priority mail covers part of the subject line in the list of mail, a smaller circle with just a P in in it I believe would be better to not interfere with reading the subject titles.

    Not real important but it does look sloppy.

    Thanks - Paul
