  1. Allow multiple signatures with a drop down to select the one

    With emails, alot of the times you might be replying under different titles. As for me, I might be sending something personal out or something work related and I have two different titles with my work. It would be nice if I could have more than one signature and an easy way to swap between them depending on what kind of email I am trying to send.

  3. Stop blocking me from sending simple emails to my contacts

    Stop blocking me from sending simple messages to my friends and contacts saying it resembles spam - sometimes we just want to send a link or simple message. If this continues, I will be moving to gmail and cancelling my yahoo subscription. This is bs. Who made you the judge of what we can send our friends? Knock it off now or I am gone by the end of January.

  5. Auto Save Bug

    When I am composing an email, auto-save keeps causing my curser to unfocus from the email body, wrecking havoc as I am typing (because suddenly shortcuts are running instead of typing characters in the message body). Specifically, this happened to me while in my email drafts, finishing a composition.

  6. Text colour when replying in dark mode

    I use dark mode with purple highlights - how Yahoo of me! Reading an email from the inbox is fine, text is white. But when I reply, the text I'm composing with is white (good), but below that in the email I'm replying to, the text suddenly becomes black on a reasonably dark grey background (#000000 on top of #303030), which is not a good look, and probably bad for accessibility too.

  7. Dark mode and pasting text

    Hi, a limitation (bug?) with the dark mode, when pasting text into the mail, it is pasted as black font, leading to that it's difficult to read while composing the mail.

    Best regards,
    David

  8. Fix the compose message window!!!

    Comcast customer, now on the Yahoo platform here.
    When I compose an email, I cannot get a cursor to appear in the message body window unless I click on Bold or something, then my entire message is unfortunately in Bold. I have learned that I am not alone with this issue, but so far the solutions listed online are not available to me, like trying to find settings and go to a Basic Mail option. I don't see a proper settings link, or icon where it is shown by others, and the one settings menu I did find, was missing…

  11. Send a new email to an existing group

    My previous server allowed me to click on an old "sent" message to a group and create a new email addressed to them, collectively, with ease. I do not see this feature in Yahoo Mail, and I need and miss it!

  14. Glitches in the New Mail

    I tried to schedule an email to send later, it didn't work the first time. Had to open it back up and try again.
    Also tried adding a new contact and it doesn't have a way to save, so I can't add the email as a new contact.

  16. Add an easy method to attach other Yahoo emails to an email

    Right now I've been looking for how to attach an email I've sent in the past to a new email I'm currently composing. It should be an up front and easy process but for the life of me I am not able to find it. My idea is to simply add under the attachment icon (the paper clip) the option to search and add a previous email from the inbox or a folder. Some attachments can be other than files.

  18. QUESTION

    Usually and normally, after I type for 1 or 2 alphabets of the receiver's email, it'll automatically recommend 1 or 2 emails, then I pick whoever I want. But, I cannot do that since months ago. I've scrolled through every settings, but nothing works. And it's kind of inconvenient for me. Please, help me solve this problem cause I desperately want to know why.
