  3. blackmailing users

    I think that it is horrible that you are blackmailing loyal users to suddenly have to buy storage space because you decided to cut your storage limit from 1tb to 2gb a drop of 98% I have used yahoo mail for over 20 years and I have 68gb in my account there is no way I can magically remove over 66gb. I can see if you do that policy going forward but forcing loyal customers to do mass deletions or stop receiving mail is pretty much just extortion!!

  6. Provide a function to sort mails from the largest to the smallest

    My email chineselanguagetutor@yahoo.com was registered more than 20 years ago. I cannot find a function to sort mails from the largest to the smallest in size. It would be great if you can provide the function.

  7. Spam detection

    The spam detection agent is totally unintelligent. It keeps sending to the spam folder messages repeatedly marked as not spam. And provided the spam folder is hidden and there is no indication of the number of messages in the folder, the user has to go every single day to look for the folder and find if there are messages marked as spam. This is ridiculous for a paid email app. If this issue is not quickly fixed I'llI go back to a free and much more intelligent gmail account.

  10. Firefox Bug Update: Toolbar App Install Prompt Still Appears at Every Login (March 8, 2025)

    Bug Update: Firefox Bug of Toolbar app asking to be installed at every login still appears.

    I posted this before, back in December 2024, but it has still not been fixed so I am filing new Feedback on March 8, 2025. Please fix this so that the install toolbar app is removed from the New Yahoo Mail Inbox just like any other web browser.

  11. Improve the email search function

    There is an issue with the search function. When I try to use "Search your mail" for an email, I get an error message: An error occurred while trying to fetch the items in this list. Retry.

    I click Retry and receive the same message.

    This has been happening for months now. How can this be resolved?

  12. Inbox older than 12 months

    I have always kept some old emails in my Inbox because I refer to them frequently. Since the upgrade now emails older than 12 months are automatically removed from my inbox and deleted. WHY are you doing that?!?!? Please don't force me to Gmail.

  13. how to close email without going to the X

    Currently after reviewing an email I cannot get out of it without going to the top of the email and clicking the X in the upper right hand corner. The old version had the ability to go back to the inbox with a back arrow at the top left of the email.
