  1. irrelevant & annoying Yahoo popups can't be closed

    Big deal. I've been able to drag & drop e-mails into folders for years. I don't need the e-mail I'm composing to be blocked by a huge popup touting a feature that's neither new or novel. Nor to I need the useless popup to extend beyond the edge of the browser page, denying me access to close the fool popup.

    Seriously, do any of you ever test the software you roll out for usability?

  2. Leave email in a tab at the same text position where it was

    I frequently use tabs. I copy sections of text from tabs and paste them into the email I am composing. The New Yahoo Mail does not keep the position of the text in a tab. This means I have scrolled down into an email in a tab to copy a section of it. I go to the email I am composing to paste the text. When I return to the email in the tab, the position of the text is back at the top! Please keep the position of the text in the tab where I left it so I…

  3. Alert the user if there is no email address in the "To:" field when "Send" is clicked

    Alert the user if there is no email address in the "To:" field when "Send" is clicked. Make this a preference setting if you must. I composed an email one night and I specified email addresses in the "Bcc:" field, but I left the "To:" field blank because I did not want to accidentally send it until I was sure I was finished. I forgot to enter a "To:" email address and the email was sent when I clicked the Send button! This resulted in a lot of problems since the intended "To:" recipient had no idea what I was…

  6. Editing email drafts is very frustrating when cursor disappears after auto save and email draft disappears and goes to another email draft.

    Very frustrating to edit an email in drafts because the cursor disappears after auto save. Plus, email disappears and goes to next draft email every-so-often so trying to edit/write draft.

  7. emoji

    The emoji Clock icon doesn't seem to do anything. It doesn't change the set of emojis shown on the screen. So I always have to search for the emoji that I use all the time. It used to work, now it doesn't.

  8. yahoo mailbox is not condensed it's HUGE

    You do not even give an option for the design category... you are completely missing that your yahoo mailbox is huge. We need an option to make it more slim.. you might think we would just go to a different browser % view.. but we can't do that for Yahoo as it will affect all our other website views. If you had a condensed and very condensed option I might try your new yahoo mail. such a simple feature enhancement!! I'm still NOT sold.

    Please disable this awful jumping of the entire email body when writing, which hides all the previous text and the recipient whenever performing any action such as creating a new line or pasting from the clipboard. It is extremely inconvenient and very frustrating.

  10. Restore support for addresses with (+) like name+label@gmail.com

    It is no longer possible to send to recipients like name+label@gmail.com because the plus sign (+) is considered an invalid email, while it is actually a valid and widely used character! Please restore the ability to send to email addresses that contain the plus sign in the address.

  17. Correct the "fit" in Windows when composing new email

    Adjust the "compose" window so that all of the features are accessible, such as font modifications, italic, bold print, emojis, etc.

    Currently, the above options drop below the visible screen, especially when font size is increased, and are not accessible when composing an email.

  18. Maximize screen view of mail; send video files or auto upload video files to cloud

    I would immediately pay if (a) I knew I could maximize the screen so old eyes can view more of a document AND
    (b) if Yahoo Mail could either send occasional multiple image or video files .... even automatically upload to a in the ozone file that recipients could access for a limited time then choose to save if they wish

    The screen is way too busy
