  1. the mail checkboxes are not working noir setttings buttons or anything in that bar

    Using the yahoo mailbox in firefox or chrome, I can't use anything in the navigation bar. The back button. The check boxes of mail. the reply , forward, and settings buttons all do nothing in both browsers. I tried to submit a support ticket, but it's not letting me. I looked at the developer tools and it looks like your CSS of the buttons are messed up. Please fix this ASAP. it does appear as the phone app is sitll working, but the website is definite busted.

  2. Increase Blocked addresses to be more than 1000

    Would be great to increase the limit to add blocked address under security to be either unlimited or atleast 5 times or more the limit it currently has.

    Scammers and spoof emails change day to day; they update their email address and or update or change/add domains, and the feature comes in handy when you can block the address to help fight spoofing/spam emails coming into your client's inbox.

    Please consider increasing the limit or making it unlimited.

    The best way to get rid of spam is to mark as spam, not delete or block! This helps with your spam filters and does exactly what blocking does, prevents that email from coming to your Inbox. So please keep marking as spam! It is free and part of regular Yahoo Mail. Thanks!

    Hi Russ, looking at your Inbox, you can find your Contacts in the top, right hand side (above the ad). Click on Contacts and from there you can click on any Contact you want to edit. Once you're in that Contact card, just click on the "..." (three dots) and you'll see Edit Contacts. Hope this helps!

  4. Return to displaying email address of possible scam site

    Display of possible scam site address in messages helps in trying to identify suspicious email sources. Why was this function removed in the "New Yahoo Mail" set-up? It was very helpful & was advised as an online safety check by at least 2 sources. Where did it go?
    And there is more, much more, changes in "New Yahoo Mail" set-up that are mind boggling.

  6. When Unread becomes Read

    Where do unread emails go if they are marked read? It is very easy to mark a message as read and then it seems to just disappear, without having ever been read. They don't appear to go to trash.

    Hi Jim, thanks for your feedback. If you disable Conversation view under your Settings, you will have more options to sort your email. Some options can't be done when you have Conversation mode enabled. Thanks!

  8. Arrow key scrolling through opened email

    I still want to be able to scroll through the currently opened email by using my up/down arrow keys.

    PLEASE?!?!?!?!

  9. choosing between different accounts

    Before this latest "up"grade, it was possible to toggle between different mail accounts right under the inbox menu on the left hand side. This was handy. in the nez design this is not possible anymore, one haz to go to the bottom of the screen and switch. This is less user friendly why I encourage you to consider re-locate this functionality where it used to be, i.e. right at the top, easyli accessible.

  10. Make settings easier to find

    Currently, you have to scroll all the way down to the bottom of your list of folders just to find settings. It should be much more accessible. I suggest a cog icon at the top right: next to the preferences icon in the email list window, and next to the close button in the email reading window.

    Hi Lorna, thanks for your feedback. We currently have no plans in moving Settings as most of our Community go to their Settings when there's a redesign. After that, we see in our data Settings is rarely touched. Hope this clarifies!

  11. I just want to report a bug. WTF

    When scrolling to the bottom of an box of messages, upon reaching the bottom, the wheel glitches back to about halfway through the box, making it nearly impossible to get to the earliest saved mail.

  12. List inbox by sender, not search by sender.

    We recently were forced from xFinity email to Yahoo. 'List emails by sender' is either really hard to locate or not present. I don't want to search by sender because that is only one sender...not all. Categorizing emails by sender makes it very easy to delete or save emails to the correct folder.

  13. Move to inbox

    After the recent upgrade, I can no longer move emails from a folder back into the Inbox. The Inbox does not appear as an option under the Move icon, and drag-and-drop into Inbox also fails. The only workaround is moving messages to Trash and then restoring them to Inbox. Please fix — users rely on Inbox as an active workspace.

    We encourage you to read at the top of the Uservoice header (forum). There we provide What’s New, Coming Soon and some Tips. There we mention how to disable Inbox Categories: All, Priority, etc. Definitely read those as we update them with useful information. Thanks.

    Why can't I scroll through an email using my up/down arrow keys (Windows 11, Brave browser)? It works fine in the old email.

  17. Inbox - Unread

    Hi - can you please bring back the ability to see how many unread emails are left? There used to be a small number indicating outstanding unread on the inbox tile. Now it's hard to tell. You have to scroll through your inbox to ensure all have been unread. The number just makes it easier for at a glance view.

  20. New navigation

    I have a few issues with the new Email from Yahoo. While I miss the old version as it was easier to use and read, I realize the need to modernizing. I am OK with using the new Yahoo however there are two issues that drive me nuts.
    First, I would prefer to have the option of which email box to default. I am always being directed to the PRIMARY box and even after a page refresh, it continues to default to that box. I would prefer to use the ALL inbox. Can a configuration setting be created for this.…
