  1. autofill address to

    I wish addresses associated with the name i type in the TO bar of an email would auto fill from my contacts! I thought it used to do that.

  2. From email address list order

    Allow users to order the "from" email addresses (when they have multiple) so they can keep the most used at the top if they want to.

  3. I have composed by response below

    I went back to the previous "old" version of Yahoo Mail. The word "standard" in the new version is completely confusing....standard means just that not "new" as is the fact in the new version of Yahoo mail (which by the way is a total mess). In the older version now 1) all the writing tools (size, color, script, etc. choices) are missing, 2) today's date emails are not loading 3)there is a hug blank space between the email text end and the bottom choices (send, delete, etc) at the bottom of each email when I hit reply.

  6. Put CC and BCC in one button like before

    CC and BCC being in one button that you can use to also hide those lines was more practical than the new buttons, I think.

    Note the convenience of tabbing from the recipient header to the subject line.

  7. send button

    I've just started using your new version, and I just tried to send my first email. In order to see the send button at the bottom of the screen, I had to decrease the browser zoom to 90%. It seems you're trying to copy Gmail in putting the send button all the way down there, but why. When you've finished composing an email, leave the button where I can see it.

  8. email jumps to top of screen when typing

    When I'm typing an email, the cursor jumps to the top of the screen (putting the body of my email out of view).

    Why?

    I need to be able to see that part of the email that I already wrote so that I can ensure the next words that fall out of my brain make sense.

    Every time I adjust the scroll bar to where I want the view (so I can see the email I'm drafting) it jumps to put the cursor at the top of the screen.

    I absolutely hate this. I've had this account open for 20…

  9. cc & bcc needs to have option to stay visible when composing/reading e-mails

    If you put addresses in cc or BCC and then go to type the message, the CC & BCC automatically hide so you have to show them again if you need to check something, then they hide again when you go to the message. If you choose to show all the recipients, they should stay visible.

    By hiding it, it also makes it hard to hover over one and copy the e-mail address and then paste it in the e-mail if you need to. I use this when I need to give someone an e-mail address... I would put it…

  13. Stop being stupid

    STOP putting the cursor at he top of the screen. I like/Need to see what I've typed to make it coherent. I am tempted to drop Yahoo and use the google interface.

    Also, I like seeing ALLL my emails while you prefer to pick and choose what YOU think is important. It is not about YOU it is MY email.

    STOP IT. STOP doing both of those actions as it makes managing my email more difficult.

    I am already signed in. Why are you making everything so difficult.

  14. Provide ability to attach more than a couple of images to mail - documents or photos ..

    I would immediately pay $5 / month to open up 1/3rd of the screen now cluttered with images of all but naked ladies of which I have no interest WHENEVER I can send e-mail containing a few images ... as Gmail allows ... It is very bothersome ... at least warn reaching limits of attachments rather than telling me afterwards to go to Google

  16. ability to edit the list of suggested e-mail addresses when composing a message

    I used to be able to delete e-mail addresses that would show up when I started typing on the 'to' line when composing an e-mail, but the 'x' symbol to remove them from being suggested seems to be gone. The suggestions include any e-mail address that I have ever received a message from, regardless of if I have ever responded to it before. Please give that back so unnecessary, obsolete or invalid e-mail addresses can be removed from being suggested. Not having it is very annoying and there was absolutely no reason to remove it.

  17. Mention or tag someone

    The function to mention or tag someone is not working, when you use "@" followed of a name or email, you should be able to choose the email or person you need to tag, but right now is not working. Or maybe you need to activate it somehow?

  18. email addresses during composing

    When composing an email, typing in the name of a recipient, your listed contact name pops up along with any similar name of previous received senders not in your contact list.
    You used to be able to hover to the right of the "unwanted" names, an X would pop up and you could delete the excess contacts.
    We are no longer able to do that and would appreciate the return of the feature. It helps clear up clutter and unnecessary addresses, and it makes finding the right recipient easier.
    Please consider bring this feature back. Thank you.
