  1. copy email from string

    I used to be able to highlight an email in a group email and copy their email to send then a private message. That doesn't work anymore and is super frustrating.

  3. For the sake of security- Yahoo must stop hiding the senders email.

    Hello, For the sake of security- Yahoo must stop hiding the senders email address when viewing emails. Seeing the actual email address helps users like myself confirm if an email is a spoof address. The only way to see the actual senders address is for me to click 'reply' so that the senders address then shows like this- support@prime.com info@jobhotel.be. This email spoofed itself to be from Amazon Prime but the real address shows @jobhotel.be. So your current yahoo mail design is going to get a lot of people scammed I hope you realize.

  4. Improve SPAM filtering and blocking

    Hi, it would be great to increase the number of blocked addresses or blocked domains.
    Another new feature would be the ability to use wildcard character (asterisk) in the block addresses function. Certain spammers use the same 'to'/'from' name but dozens of domains. The ability to block say "Newsletter@(asterisk).com" would help immensely.

  7. Draft

    It would be nice to be able to see a draft reply as we navigate through our emails, as can be done in Office Outlook.

  9. BUG: scroll bar does not go to end of long message

    The behavior of the scroll bar is different from the behavior of the two finger scroll gesture.

    When composing a message that is larger that the compose window, using the scrollbar to get to the end of the message does not work. But, using the scroll gesture to get to the end of the message does work. This seems like a bug and confused my older sister to no end...

  10. forward a message

    Your system is almost impossible and exceedingly difficult to use. I wanted to forward a message but there was no place to enter addresses. Do I had to rewrite the original message.

  11. undo send

    I had trouble pasting an image from the copy buffer into an email. It kept immediately sending the email rather than pasting the image. Please give us at least 5 seconds to "undo" a send.

  12. Draft email deleted as I was typing in it. No undo, no way to recover it. Just gone!

    A draft email I was working on just got deleted without any input from me! And it didn't go to my Trash folder -- there's no way to recover it! WTF?! I was typing, making changes, and about every 15 seconds the system tries to save my progress, which is good. But when it does that, it takes the cursor out of the panel where I'm working on the body of the email, and it makes some other panel the active one. So all of a sudden, whatever I'm typing becomes a command for some other window. One time when…

  14. typing email

    I have my mail page text enlarged. When I am composing an email I run out of space and my lower lines get hidden by the box below it. The only way to see fully what I write is to shrink my text down to the absolute smallest available. Can this be corrected. My vision is not the greatest and it's hard to see small text.

  15. Ability to hyperlink needs to be put back

    Where is the ability to hyperlink?! My signature and website on the bottom have been changed and unlinked. You cannot add a hyperlink to Zoom, etc. This is critical.

  16. Contacts List

    Before the platform changed, there used to be a folder called contacts. I had hundreds of contacts in there, of all the people I had ever emailed. Now I have no contacts.

  18. Attachments

    When I try to include attachments of larger (+1mb) PowerPoints, photos, other files, the draft emails shut down and become inaccessible in the drafts folder. However, I can receive large files of +15mb. Can this be remedied? Thanks
