  1. Problems with e-mail sending.

    I tried to sent an e-mail to an address that had the german letter 'ü', however I couldn't do it as the system took it as a wrong address. I haven't tried to send anything to another email with country-specific letters or symbols but I believe this is an issue, that should be addressed.

  2. I need to be able to print unsent emails so I can edit them offline.

    When typing a new email, there is no print icon - there is no way to print an unsent email.

  3. Create options to turn off keyboard shortcuts and identify Primary/non-Primary messages

    Dear Yahoo email team,

    I like the new version overall but have a couple of feature requests:

    • PLEASE make it possible to turn off the keyboard shortcuts. When I am writing a message, the compose tool is frequently thinking that I want to delete a message or simply takes me out of a message entirely for reasons I don't know. My guess is that I am bumping the control key when I am reaching for shift but I am not sure that is the reason. Anyway, I hardly ever use the shortcuts anyway. If I could just turn them off…

  4. Web - mail subject is empty unless focus is changed before sending

    Repro:
    1. Click "New message"
    2. Fill in any recipient in the "To" box
    3. Enter some subject like "Test"
    4. Immediately click "Send"
    Result: the email subject will be blank

    The bug is that the subject is only populated in the outgoing message if between steps (3) and (4) above you change the active element focus - e.g. after typing in the subject, you press TAB or click the email body text box and only then click "Send"

  6. No way to copy an email

    I have emails in my address book. But when I want to send someone that email address there is no way to copy it over from the email screen. And finding the address book some other way seems to be impossible. Which means I have to hand copy and email over which I cant do easily because when I click away yahoo mail also makes it disappear. So how am I suppose to easily copy an email address when needed? This is a basic feature Gmail and outlook all provide but for some reason the new Yahoo makes this almost…

  7. Please make keyboard shortcuts optional or give us option to toggle them on or off

    I have accidentally sent half-finished emails because of the keyboard shortcuts. I really don't like this feature.

  8. whats up with contact suggestions?

    contact suggestions have been pretty rough. I can’t find my recently used contacts easily, and the @mention option in compose is just… gone.

  11. multiple attachments at once

    Previously I could attach multiple files by selecting them from their folder, new mail has me attaching them one at a time. very inefficient when I have a folder with an invoice and packing slip files side by side and can no longer box both at once for attachment. Same thing where I need to attach multiple photos, 1 at a time, very inefficient attaching process. Too many repetitive process extra clicks, do you not beta test this junk before just dumping it on us?

  12. Display previews of attachments beside email textbox

    When I click on attachments to preview them, they appear through overlay that has to be clicked out of instead of appearing beside the email message as it was in the old yahoo mail.

    Being able to view them beside my email message made cross-checking and referencing information from the attachments much easier instead of having to close and open the preview each time.

    This would also be a more efficient use of space on for desktop users who have ample horizontal display space for such a layout.

  13. 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.

  15. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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

  20. 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…
