  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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…

  4. missing contacts

    Since the updgrade to this ****** "New Yahoo Mail" I have 0 contacts in my address book. Where did they go? All the contacts are available in the Yahoo Mail App on my Android Phone. I have tried to "import addresses" from my own Yahoo Account = nothing.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  9. 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

  12. While working on a draft, autosave moves focus!

    While working on a draft, I think the autosave moves focus. Then you have to reclick in the draft email window and find where you left off. If you hit backspace on the draft it deletes it! I HATE THE NEW STANDARD YAHOO MAIL!!!

  13. Email send, reply all and forward buttons

    Send button is hard to find. It will be good to have it at top as well.
    Also sometimes scrolling down the message does not go all the way down to send button, there is a problem in scrolling using track pad.
    Similarly reply all and forward buttons can be at the top as well.

  15. In Dark Mode, Text in the "To" Field Should Always be White so that it's Easier to See

    My feedback is that when the new Yahoo Mail is in Dark Mode, text in the "To" field should always be White, not black to make it easier to see. Text is already white when a sender is in the user's address book and in the subject and composition screen, it should be White in Dark Mode across the board.

  16. Send email again / "Reply Again"

    In a back and forth email conversation, I want to send a another email to the recipient but that's not a reply, it seems I want some kind of "reply again" function -- it may already do that, but it's not clear how to send a follow-up email from within an ongoing conversation.

  18. Missing the option to attach an image as an attachment from the email body

    In the old version, I could drag and drop an image onto an email I was writing, then click the "..." in the upper right corner of the image and tell Yahoo to clip it to the bottom as an attachment instead of having it as an inline image

    This option is now missing, and the only way to add an image as an attachment is to click the paperclip button at the bottom.

    Please fix.
