  1. Found a bug with Compose

    Love that you launched the divided screen (left nav | msg list | msg read) - yay!!!

    But I found a serious bug: start to compose a message, then navigate to the message by clicking "Drafts" and continue to edit the body. After a minute or two, suddenly the keyboard focus jumps from the composition window to the msg list window. If you don't notice, then all of your typing is interpreted as keyboard shortcuts. I've had my draft completed deleted because I hit the backspace/delete key to edit my draft - not good!

  5. Dark mode for composing/reading messages

    It would be nice for the email message itself to be dark. It is very ******* humans to stare at LED white color. I'm in my email a lot and this feature would be amazing.

  8. remove hide email contact auto suggestions

    I want to be able to remove/hide contact auto-suggestions when I am composing an email. I get valid contact suggestions, as well as all the spam and other junk email senders. If I can no longer delete/hide them, can you at least stop the non-contact addresses from being added to the auto-suggest lists? Or, at least, restore the "X" button, so I can (again) hide/delete them from being suggested. Thank you. :-)

  9. Reinstate ability to edit font

    Reinstate the ability to edit font size to make it uniform, especially when you're copying text from a document to add to your e-mail. The inability to make the text uniform is going to make me go back to the old Yahoo.

  10. Open emails on top of inbox

    Please bring back the option to toggle between open emails at the top of the inbox. There are many times that I have to toggle between an open email to refer back and/or I have to leave one task to complete another. Having to go to the drafts folder is cumbersome.

  12. composing impossible, text formatting at opposite end of long email thread

    Because the reply function now scrolls my active reply out of view by placing the active cursor at the top of page view, I now have to compose my emails in a text editor. A new problem arises when I take my reply generated in a text editor, copy and paste and the text is too small and all wrong in the yahoo email format.
    The new yahoo email does not provide a way to collapse a long email thread, requiring the reply box is at the top of the long thread, and all the text formatting options are removed…

  13. Remove Autofill Email Addresses When Composing

    Hello!
    Someone else suggested this idea in Jan. 2025. It was marked "reviewed" by Yahoo with no comments now allowed and no indication that Yahoo is going to take action on the suggestion. Here is it again.

    When trying to enter an email address when composing, Yahoo begins to autofill suggested addresses. It previously showed an "x" by each suggestion, which allowed me to eliminate it from showing up again.

    Yahoo has removed that "x". What makes it worse, is that addresses from spam are also suggested, and with all the spam that comes through, that means a LOT of…

  14. Where's the email address autofill when composing?

    When I start typing an email, the address I wanted used to auto-fill. Now an autofill box appears, but it's blank! This is incredibly annoying. So I now have to go manually find the address I want and ... type it in.

    What a step backward this "upgrade" is.

  15. Increase the allowed amount of blocked email addresses

    Increase amount of blocked email addresses for incoming spam. With the amount of spam that is sent each day, the 1023 limit is too small. Please increase so that users can block ALL spam.
