    Hi Valeria, it would be super helpful to know what browser you are using and browser version. Then can you send us a video or a screenshot of the messed up file? Anything so we can try to replicate. Please send to mail.oasis.feedback@yahooinc.com.

  4. Keep the name associated with my email address from changing to an unknown name.

    There appears to be a glitch in the new Yahoo Mail system. When I compose and send an email, everything looks normal at first. However, when I later check the message in my Sent folder, the name associated with my email address has changed to an unknown name.

    I checked my account settings to verify that the display name had not been altered, and it still shows the correct name that I entered. Despite this, outgoing messages in my Sent folder continue to display an unfamiliar name attached to my email address.

    I have searched through the Help section but…

  5. There is no 'Save' button in Vacation Message settings

    I've tried the app, Google Chrome and Safari on my laptop and in none of them after I go through all steps is there a 'Save' button to click on so that my vacation message will appear. Why is that?

    Hi Jay, thanks for your feedback! Yes, there is no "Save" button, but instead we have the toggle on/off for vacation response. You turn it on and the vacation response will work til you toggle it off. Hope this helps!

    Hi there, you can archive the email without going back to the Inbox. You can do it right from reading the email (Message Read). When looking at the email, just click on the three dots above the email (...) and from there can Archive the email.

  8. High Importance

    There needs to be an option to send an email as High Importance. This feature is very helpful when sending an email or a response to someone's email so they see its urgent.

    Thanks

    Hi Laura, thanks for your feedback. We are working on adding a way for you to say a certain email or sender is Priority, so stay tuned. For now, you can move an email to a certain category. For example, if an impt email goes to the "offers" category, you can move it to "Primary."

  9. Still cannot find contacts in my contacts!

    I search for 'Peter' but it does not find peterdyounng

    I search Higgins and it find him and suggests peterdyoung and allows me to 'update' his email and add to contacts but still cant find him on his own.

    I search contacts, find the target, click the email address and it goes into the To: box. Search and find second address, select email address does not go into To: box but searches for all emails from that person instead! Inconsistent behaviour!

  11. Fix a text entry problem

    When composing an email I often have to reset the cursor position as it disappears from the body of the email and I can't enter any more text. I use Firefox as my browser so could there be a problem with it rather than Yahoo?

  15. Bring back a feature

    When composing a message and pasting in a graphic (in the text message area, not as an attachment), yahoo mail used to offer a feature where the user could click on the right corner of the graphic before the message was sent that allowed the user to change it to an attachment or make it smaller or remove it completely. It'd be great to bring that feature back. Also offer user a method to remove an image that he pasted into the text(again, before sending the message) if user decides they don't want to include an image before sending.

  16. When writing an email. You can't format the email for paragraphs, greetings, signoffs, or anything else. It's just one run-on sentence.Sucks

    Make the body of emails being sent formattable. The current one run-on sentence looks terrible, unprofessional, and makes a bad impression on the receiver. As is, I won't be using Yahoo Mail for much of anything slightly important. When the email can start looking like you have an education, instead of a four-year-old writing it, I'll return. For now, I'll see what "Gmail" offers.

  17. Paragraphs in mobile app

    Dear All,
    When replying to or composing a new message in Yahoo Mail mobile app all paragraphs are being removed and the message is displayed and sent like one long line. This is highly inconvenient, please fix this as soon as possible.
    Best regards

    Hi Thomas, this forum is only for Desktop feedback, not the apps! Can you let them know via their channels please? There is a feedback button in the app. Also, it would be helpful if you can mention whether you have Android or iOS? Thanks.

  18. Where is my contacts list? It has disappeared.

    My contacts list has disappeared. How do I get it back?

    Why do you change things and make them worse than before?

    Stop making nonsense changes.

    Hi Katelind, thanks for your feedback! Looking at your Inbox, on the top right hand side (above the ad) you'll see Starred, Contacts and More. Just click on Contacts and from there you can manage them. Hope this helps!

  19. Formatting incorrect when bullet points used

    I have received a few emails where people have either used bulleted lists or either copied and pasted bullet items from a word foc and the formatting in the email is all over the place.

    Items overlap and it is not clear to see where bullet points begin and end. It is like they are showing in a columnar table format rather than a bulleted list. The text overlaps the bullet points and it is almost impossible to discern which text belongs to which point. I can provide screenshots.

    Hi Laura,


    Thanks for your feedback. We actually tried replicating the issue above and couldn't. If you still can, can you please send us screenshots, videos anything so we can see what's happening. Please send along browser and browser version to oasis.mail.feedback@yahooinc.com. Thanks!

  20. 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.
