  1. SEARCH IN BODY OF EMAIL

    SEARCH IN BODY OF EMAIL... IIRC, the old Yahoo Mail allowed you to search not just for words in the title, but also in the body of the email. The new Yahoo email appears to only allow searching for words in the title of the email.

    Can we go back to the old way?

  2. (BUG) Sign in Freezes Page When Signing in or Switching Accounts

    There is an ongoing bug with new Yahoo Mail where signing in freezes the page, Freezing the page also happens when switching accounts. This was an issue a few days ago. It got fixed temporarily and now it's back again (March 15, 2025) This happens regardless of browser being used.

  4. Remove suggested results from search

    When searching my inbox, I'm being served 2 emails (which I assume Yahoo is suggesting as my intended search results) above the full list of my queried emails. These 2 emails are displayed as massive thumbnails and fill half of the space within my viewport. It makes searching through the full list of queried emails much more difficult. Please allow for the option to disable this feature.

  5. SEARCH like I could in the older version on Yahoo. The Yahoo I had in February.

    When I search my IN Boc, I get results from emails that already in Folders. I want to be able to search like I could in the February version of Yahoo. I could search by IN BOX or SENT or by FOLDER.

  6. Mail Advanced Search Does not Search Name Adequately

    Hello,

    Your advanced search form in Mail should search by rendered name in order to help users bulk identify spam.

    I am receiving a lot of spam from addresses encoded like this:
    From: =?UTF-8?B?86CBvU5h86CBvfOggb1086CBvfOggb3zoIG9afOggb1v86CBvfOggb3zoIG986CBvfOggb1u86CBvfOggb3zoIG9YfOggb1sRGVi86CBvfOggb10UvOggb1l86CBvfOggb1s86CBvWnzoIG9ZWbzoIG9LmNv86CBvfOggb1t86CBvfOggb4=?= zxtxlaluqr@gaviner.com

    Many of them will display with the same name in the From, such as "NationalDebtRelief.com". You cannot search for these and mark them all as spam because the "NationalDebtRelief" as a search term gets no results due to the encoding.

    In any case, a From address like this should be a huge red flare for your spam filter. Why do users even have to mark…

  7. Correct email search

    This issue does not have a listed category. I don't where else to discuss this issue.
    I have just deleted two emails from an individual I view often. I do a search to review one of the emails and all I get is two emails from May and June. Why not the rest of them? I do a visual scan in trash and I locate the desired email. This not the first such incident. What am i doing wrong

  8. the location of the search box makes it hard to delete or move emails. Why can't the search box be moved?

    The search box is placed right over the icons to delete, move, etc. The only way I can delete old mail is to reduce my screen to 80%. I am a senior citizen and I can hardly read it at 80%. I have been unable to move or change the location of the search box, and it interferes with my ability to delete mail. Since you are changing the policy of how many GBs we can have, why have you made it so hard to delete old mail without having to reduce the script size?

  9. Improve search and move features

    I feel like the search was downgraded in the new mail. There are less filters in the search bar and it seems to be more difficult to search by a sender than it was previously. Why not put the search option in the menu that appears when you hit control click? I'd rather have that than the "view raw message" option...that seems completely useless to me. Same with moving emails to folders, I feel like that was downgraded too. Maybe the expectation is that AI will sort emails for us, but I already didn't like how I wasn't seeing things…

  10. sort by subject

    I really miss the ability to sort the e-mails in my box by subject (re: line). I get a lot from the same person, on many different topics. So when I want to clean up what I don't need, sorting by sender doesn't help if I can't sort by the subject line.

  13. double spacing instead of single spacing

    This is still related to composing email having extra spaces between lines. It looks like double-spacing between lines on email -- when you get to the end of the line, the email goes to the next line but has extra space between the 2 lines. I've tried all the fonts possible. I'm thinking maybe the new yahoo email adds extra space either before or after a line. When I'm in a Word document, I select paragraph 'single, no space before and no space after. That is perfect. And it used to apply in the old yahoo email. When I view…

  14. joined date

    Dear Yahoo Mail Team,

    I hope this message finds you well. I am a long-time user of Yahoo Mail and have appreciated the platform's features and reliability over the years. However, I have noticed that the joined date feature, which previously allowed users to view the date they created their Yahoo Mail account, is no longer available.

    This feature was incredibly useful for tracking account history and providing a sense of personal milestone for users like myself. Its removal has made it difficult to access this information, which I relied on to recall when I first joined your service.

  17. unread options do no allow for bulk actions, they either contain all read inbox messages or all unread sent messages

    Your two unread options are now very confusing. Selecting for unread in the main view shows even the read emails from the inbox. Adding the required two extra mouse strokes to get to the "unread" folder under the 3 dots now also includes every unread "sent" email that I've accumulated from at least the last 10 years and who knows what else further down the view and cannot do a bulk "mark as read" but have to singly select all of the new ones, instead of unselect the specific ones that aren't junk that I need to read.
