  2. 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?

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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!

  9. 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!

  10. 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.

  11. Access in other countries

    I have been using my yahoo.com email for some years and now I have run out of space. I don't want to delete my old emails rather upgrade to more space. In trying to do so the system does not allow me to since it is locked on United State only and I am in South Africa. Does yahoo.com now only available to United State only?

  12. Font customization - color, bold, italic, sizing

    Yahoo basic mail ,simplified version of Yahoo Mail, could use some more complex features, such as:

    Themes
    Formatting toolbar
    Drag and drop attachments or GIFs

    Especially font options like size, color, bold, italics. Thank you.

    Yes, you can do this... in your Inbox, once you Compose or Reply, at the bottom you'll see a toolbar, if you don't see it scroll down a bit if you're in Conversation mode. You'll see all that you listed above including clicking on "..." (three dots) for more options.

  13. Unable to close tabs

    Hi Yahoo Developers, My tab bar at the top of the compose (or read) screen shows countless tabs for a recent search I did. I am unable to close any of the tabs as there is no 'x' on them. They are moving a screen width and a half to the right. It's a poor UX. Could you please fix this quickly. I'm tempted to go straight back to the old Yahoo mail UI. Thanks.

  16. 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.

  18. 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.

  20. 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.
