  1. Fix Crashing after Scheduling a Future Email

    Fix the new Yahoo Mail so that it does not cause the Microsoft Edge browser to crash after scheduling a future email. Yesterday I scheduled an email to be sent to myself on January 15, 2026 (due date for federal estimated tax payment). Now the Microsoft Edge browser (updated on Windows 10) crashes soon after I start using it as the only tab. It's probably running out of memory. Use less memory.

  2. Fake email in my name

    From: "Alecia Thompson" sat.i@itwise.es this is not my email address as someone is pretending to be me ! Please fix this! Also my real email still displays my prior last name as Taylor when sending any correspondences, It should read Alecia Perry-Thompson?

  3. List of addresses and address groups

    I miss the ability to look at the list of addresses of people to whom I send emails. Under the Comcast system, I could scan the entire list, but that function apparently doesn't exist with Yahoo mail. I view this as a serious flaw in the Yahoo mail system.

    Also I had a number of regularly used address groups under the Comcast system. But again that function didn't transfer over to Yahoo mail. I view this as a serious flaw in the Yahoo mail system.

    A response on both of these concerns would be greatly appreciated.

  5. Draft Email Subject Line Too Short

    The "Drafts" folder of the new email doesn't show enough of the email title. Example: I save email drafts numbered from 1 -100 so I can know which one to send out the next day, but with install of the new email, I can only see 1 character in the daft subject line. Please make it where we can see more in the subject line of draft emails.

  7. Email Address Lookup

    When you select a person to email you should be able to right click on the name and either see the email address or copy the email address. Now it just goes between texts and listing other possible email addresses. Just give me the email address... I don't need the name... I need to see the address. Especially today when people have multiple email addresses, seeing the name means nothing.

  8. Old Mail Features

    I wished you would bring back Stationary in the email and the option to pin messages at the top of my inbox. I also was not pleased that you dropped the storage limit from 1TB to 20 GB thats a huge drop. Then you act like it was done for our benefit. It would also be nice to have a button to insert pictures instead of having to copy and paste or drag and drop from from a folder somewhere. Many times, when you do that it inserts several copies of the same picture. Very screwy.

  10. Undo Send

    Google has an option to undo the send option. That would be very beneficial for Yahoo.

  11. Allow users of the original Yahoo Mail to adjust font size and style

    For those of us who prefer the old Yahoo Mail layout, please restore the ability to change font size and style. The inbox shows the correct font, but when I go to compose, the font is very small.

  12. The layout of the historical message chain is very confusing - such a nightmare to find the right email on a chronicle basis...

    The mails will get stuck together with no logical order. Also, it hard to delete a specific email cause the delete will erase the entire email chain. Such a nightmare!

  13. making email work normally?

    Why is there a line half way down the left side of my emails? It's creating a "pasted paragraph" look on new messages?

    I CC myself on these message and my version shows this line. My sent items show the same but if I foward it, it's not there before sending. Why are they not all the same? How do I know which version the recepient is recieving?

    Why do I have to contact you so much about sending an email??? It's email, not new technology, but somehow you seem to make it so difficult.

    Can you send me instructions…

  14. send button not visible

    The send button is not visible when scrolling down to the bottom of the page when using zoom larger than 100%. This makes Yahoo mail very difficult to use for people who need to see larger characters. This is a problem on both the Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome browsers. It would be nice if buttons were always visible at the bottom (outside of the scroll area).

  16. sizing down a photo to email

    When copying and pasting a photo from another site to an email, please return the little three dots in the upper right corner so that I can size down the photo, like I used to be able to do.

  17. Responding to email thread is too difficult - too much scrolling

    When I respond to an email thread, often the portion of the email that I'm typing in is not in the composing window and I have to scroll multiple times to compose even a short email response. Also, I find it hard to access the emojis when responding on an email thread. Otherwise, I like the interface. Thanks for your help!

  18. Introduce schedule mail

    Namaskar, I've been using it for a long time, and I'm happy to be a Yahoo user. Now, I would like to request adding a feature like scheduled send mail, as it would be very helpful for users who rely on their mail for personal and official correspondence.

    I hope I'll soon get a new update on my feedback.

    Thank you.
