  1. Access in other countries

    I have been using my yahoo.com email for some years and now I have run out of space. I don't want to delete my old emails rather upgrade to more space. In trying to do so the system does not allow me to since it is locked on United State only and I am in South Africa. Does yahoo.com now only available to United State only?

    Yes, you can do this... in your Inbox, once you Compose or Reply, at the bottom you'll see a toolbar, if you don't see it scroll down a bit if you're in Conversation mode. You'll see all that you listed above including clicking on "..." (three dots) for more options.

  3. Unable to close tabs

    Hi Yahoo Developers, My tab bar at the top of the compose (or read) screen shows countless tabs for a recent search I did. I am unable to close any of the tabs as there is no 'x' on them. They are moving a screen width and a half to the right. It's a poor UX. Could you please fix this quickly. I'm tempted to go straight back to the old Yahoo mail UI. Thanks.

  4. Fake email in my name

    From: "Alecia Thompson" sat.i@itwise.es this is not my email address as someone is pretending to be me ! Please fix this! Also my real email still displays my prior last name as Taylor when sending any correspondences, It should read Alecia Perry-Thompson?

  5. HTML format not preserved when forwarding an email

    HTML emails are being forwarded as text only. This works fine from phone app (Android), but fails from web browser (Both firefox and Chrome).

  6. List of addresses and address groups

    I miss the ability to look at the list of addresses of people to whom I send emails. Under the Comcast system, I could scan the entire list, but that function apparently doesn't exist with Yahoo mail. I view this as a serious flaw in the Yahoo mail system.

    Also I had a number of regularly used address groups under the Comcast system. But again that function didn't transfer over to Yahoo mail. I view this as a serious flaw in the Yahoo mail system.

    A response on both of these concerns would be greatly appreciated.

  8. 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.

  10. 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.

    Hi Glenda, if this is still happening, can you send us a video of what you're seeing? Along with browser and browser version? That would be super helpful. Please send to oasis.mail.feedback@yahooinc.com. Thank you!!

  12. Old Mail Features

    I wished you would bring back Stationary in the email and the option to pin messages at the top of my inbox. I also was not pleased that you dropped the storage limit from 1TB to 20 GB thats a huge drop. Then you act like it was done for our benefit. It would also be nice to have a button to insert pictures instead of having to copy and paste or drag and drop from from a folder somewhere. Many times, when you do that it inserts several copies of the same picture. Very screwy.

    Google has an option to undo the send option. That would be very beneficial for Yahoo.

  15. Allow users of the original Yahoo Mail to adjust font size and style

    For those of us who prefer the old Yahoo Mail layout, please restore the ability to change font size and style. The inbox shows the correct font, but when I go to compose, the font is very small.

  16. The layout of the historical message chain is very confusing - such a nightmare to find the right email on a chronicle basis...

    The mails will get stuck together with no logical order. Also, it hard to delete a specific email cause the delete will erase the entire email chain. Such a nightmare!

  17. Make email addresses visible when hovering over the name in the "TO" section

    The New Mail does not allow me to see the actual email addresses of people I'm writing to. Annoying, since some people have several and if I want to see an email address now I have to go to contacts.

    Hi Fran, yes we do allow this! When you hover with your mouse over the sender's name, a small window will appear showing you the entire email address. The same can be done when opening an email. Hope this helps!!

  18. I'd like to send emails

    So after I type in an email address, a subject, and some body content, I would like to be able to hit send, and then the email sends to the email address I entered, and then the person with access to that email can open up their inbox, and see what I sent them.

    That would be really cool.

    Hi Greg, yes we agree and that's how Yahoo Mail works! We have no issues doing this! IF you are having any trouble, it would be helpful for you to tell us what issues you are running into? Thanks!

  19. making email work normally?

    Why is there a line half way down the left side of my emails? It's creating a "pasted paragraph" look on new messages?

    I CC myself on these message and my version shows this line. My sent items show the same but if I foward it, it's not there before sending. Why are they not all the same? How do I know which version the recepient is recieving?

    Why do I have to contact you so much about sending an email??? It's email, not new technology, but somehow you seem to make it so difficult.

    Can you send me instructions…

  20. You removed subject line autocomplete/history. It was a key productivity feature. Now users need extra steps for something that used to take

    You removed subject line autocomplete/history.
    It was a key productivity feature.
    Now users need extra steps for something that used to take one.
    Please restore subject suggestions while typing.
