  1. Remove Autofill Email Addresses When Composing

    Hello!
    Someone else suggested this idea in Jan. 2025. It was marked "reviewed" by Yahoo with no comments now allowed and no indication that Yahoo is going to take action on the suggestion. Here is it again.

  4. see below

    not liking the new email format. I don't feel it's user friendly. I've been trying to email files to my CPA and it keeps saying not the correct format. However if I send the files from my husband's email and NO Problem. I want the old format back, a lot more user friendly. Not Impressed!!!
