  1. Link Preview in Emails

    In new Yahoo Mail, "Automatically generate a preview of links" is not working. It should be fixed or just allow users to go back to old Yahoo Mail. Thank you.

  3. backspace deletes emails that are being replied to

    When I try to reply to an email and I hit the back space, at all, it deletes the entire email. I just hit the back space on a very important thread of emails and it permanently deleted the entire string of emails I have been trying to work out a return for an expensive product for. When an email is in my inbox, it will automatically send it to the trash folder and exit the email if I press the back space and it does this without warning. the reply function/forward seems very buggy and there was also an…

  4. Cannot Accept Teams Invite

    There is nowhere i can accept an invite for a Teams meeting when party send an invite. please fix this. Not only can I not accept the invite, I cannot even see the time the invite was sent for. How embarrassing. Yahoo is not keeping up with the times, and it may be time to switch to a new email service.

  5. irrelevant & annoying Yahoo popups can't be closed

    Big deal. I've been able to drag & drop e-mails into folders for years. I don't need the e-mail I'm composing to be blocked by a huge popup touting a feature that's neither new or novel. Nor to I need the useless popup to extend beyond the edge of the browser page, denying me access to close the fool popup.

    Seriously, do any of you ever test the software you roll out for usability?

  6. Draft Email Subject Line Too Short

    The "Drafts" folder of the new email doesn't show enough of the email title. Example: I save email drafts numbered from 1 -100 so I can know which one to send out the next day, but with install of the new email, I can only see 1 character in the daft subject line. Please make it where we can see more in the subject line of draft emails.

  7. Leave email in a tab at the same text position where it was

    I frequently use tabs. I copy sections of text from tabs and paste them into the email I am composing. The New Yahoo Mail does not keep the position of the text in a tab. This means I have scrolled down into an email in a tab to copy a section of it. I go to the email I am composing to paste the text. When I return to the email in the tab, the position of the text is back at the top! Please keep the position of the text in the tab where I left it so I…

  9. Alert the user if there is no email address in the "To:" field when "Send" is clicked

    Alert the user if there is no email address in the "To:" field when "Send" is clicked. Make this a preference setting if you must. I composed an email one night and I specified email addresses in the "Bcc:" field, but I left the "To:" field blank because I did not want to accidentally send it until I was sure I was finished. I forgot to enter a "To:" email address and the email was sent when I clicked the Send button! This resulted in a lot of problems since the intended "To:" recipient had no idea what I was…

  11. scroll bar on far right

    I am no longer able to scroll down to hit the send button which should be way down at the bottom anyway. What the heck happened to the page scroll?

  13. Email Address Lookup

    When you select a person to email you should be able to right click on the name and either see the email address or copy the email address. Now it just goes between texts and listing other possible email addresses. Just give me the email address... I don't need the name... I need to see the address. Especially today when people have multiple email addresses, seeing the name means nothing.

  14. refresh glitch

    I'm using latest Google Chrome. During checking emails and deleting, Yahoo Mail keeps refreshing and putting me back to the top when I was scrolling down a couple of hundred emails. I have to scroll down to find my spot, but then refreshes again and I can never get lower than a 100 emails or so. Also, while writing from a saved draft, Yahoo Mail refreshes and puts me out or opens a new draft, or scrolls down to the bottom of the message. Then finally, the draft disappeared and is nowhere to be found!!! Please bring the old Yahoo…

  15. 14" SCREEN TROUBLE

    I use a 14" screen laptop. The new yahoo display often hides the send button, I can not scroll down far enough.
    The yahoo search bar covers the tabs at the top - back, delete tabs.
    This affects both reading incoming emails and writing emails.
    I'd like to go back to the older version if there is no fix to this. Please help.
    I have tried making the email images smaller so I can reach the bottom of the email, to no avail.

  16. DARK MODE WHILE COMPOSING IS HORRIBLE!

    I wanted to share some feedback regarding an issue I’ve encountered while using Yahoo Mail in dark mode.

    When I compose an email with dark mode enabled, the editor displays white text on a dark background, which looks fine while drafting. However, I recently noticed that when the email is sent, the text remains white. As a result, recipients with the default white background cannot see the text unless they highlight it.

    This issue makes it extremely difficult to ensure that my messages are readable for recipients. I would like to suggest that when composing emails in dark mode, the…
