  1. 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!!!

  2. allow an option to display the full email address on the "to" field without changing it to the name in contacts.

    same as title. but after entering the email it defaults to the corresponding name in contacts. I don't want this. an option to keep the full email address, or display both, would be preferable.

  3. odd issue while typing in drafts

    I have been composing an email for the lat 30 minutes and as I am typing, the screen changes like I am hitting short cut keys. There was many times a new email draft was started, or I was asked if I was sure I wanted to delete the email, and another time the screen changed into dark mode. This is quite frustrating.

  4. Allow deletion of ads without the $5.00 upcharge. That's extortion; never seen anything similar from other providers.

    Add "spell-check". There is none, at least that I can find. That's ridiculous!
    Add "undo" and "redo" options. Again - they do not exist, at least that I can find. Also ridiculous.
    The interface is awkward and clunky.
    In short, Yahoo email is in the "dark ages".

  6. Yahoo mail is way too slow

    When I use yahoo mail id from my browser (chrome), it is way too slow when I try to compose a message. I am almost unable to use it. It would be good to get this addressed.

  8. Unable to prevent old invalid email addresses from appearing in email auto-suggestions

    Hello, I would like to remove old and invalid email addresses permanently from auto-suggestions in my Yahoo email. I already removed the invalid contacts from the address book. However, these email addresses keep appearing whenever I start typing the email address in the To or CC list. Even though I remove such invalid address suggestions using the X sign in suggestions, they reappear the next time I open Yahoo email. This is very irritating and leads to errors with non-existent recipients. How can I remove these invalid addresses permanently so that they don't appear in auto-suggestions?

  11. improve mail writing formatting options

    The limited formatting options here, are leaving my messages looking completely unprofessional. Like someone who doesn't know how to use a computer. Even copy pasting doesn't work as expected.

    And what is it with not being able to resize pasted images?

  13. None. You need to fix this..

    I am UNABLE to permanently adjust/set the "Font Family or Font Size" (Default rich-text font). It's located as the last option on the screen and when I click on either tab (Font Family or Font Size), I'm not able to select any the drop down option due to the fact the screen will NOT scroll down to allow me to make a selection.

  15. New version: Missing sent emails, cannot delete drafts

    Email are not being saved in sent. I cc'd a copy to my self. I forwarded it again using the correct email address and Yahoo deleted the corrections and changed it back. If they are wrong, they should be left alone. The user will know when they get a failed message for it. Then I tried to send it to one of the corrected email addresses and changed my mind. It isn't clear that the delete is only for the draft, but it worked. The original email now has 2 of every email embedded in the sent email and the…

  16. Maybe you can give us actual humans who can help when we have a problem

    I have nowhere else to put this, and I'd appreciate it if someone got back to me. I'm unable to load word docs onto emails and send them, as an error message comes up instead (and I'm a freelancer that needs to in order to send out billing). Nothing on the Yahoo help page has any useful suggestions. (I've already cleaned my caches for both my browser and my device, rebooted multiple times, updated browsers, changed browsers, changed devices, etc). What I need is a person to help me. Please advise.

  18. There is so much wrong with this, I don't know where to start!!!

    1. it seems the reason for your change was to use 1/3 of my screen for that ad on the right side!
    2. When I set up my choices way back when, they worked for me, and still would if you would let me be.
    3. You didn't give me an option...you hi-jacked my account and forced me into this new email garbage.
    4. The color choices and changed layout makes it very hard to read and file my emails.
    5. I used to be in one of my 4 email accounts, and could easily change to the others with a click of the mouse.…

  20. Draft Versions

    On multiple occasions somehow my long Draft message has been over-written, or otherwise somehow the text (not a message deletion but only the text) has be erased. There should a way to retrieve erased text, perhaps timed multiple revisions of Draft text. Could you please address this? I have had large blocks of text just erased, and I have been forced to re-write the message from the very beginning. This has happened to me multiple times over the years, and it is maddening.
