    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.

  2. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. DARK MODE WHILE COMPOSING IS HORRIBLE!

    I wanted to share some feedback regarding an issue I’ve encountered while using Yahoo Mail in dark mode.

    When I compose an email with dark mode enabled, the editor displays white text on a dark background, which looks fine while drafting. However, I recently noticed that when the email is sent, the text remains white. As a result, recipients with the default white background cannot see the text unless they highlight it.

    This issue makes it extremely difficult to ensure that my messages are readable for recipients. I would like to suggest that when composing emails in dark mode, the…

  19. 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.

  20. 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…
