    While composing an email on a desktop, it is impossible to remove an attachement after it has been added. Please fix this issue.

    There are no such problems in the app.

  3. BUG: Editing Draft Messages is Perilous

    I have started using the the new Yahoo Mail. When ever I attempt to edit an existing Draft message, I am "bounced" out of the message every few seconds. When the "bounce" occurs, I have to retrieve the message from the draft folder and carry on from where the interruption occurred. In happened to me 7 times today during the edit of a short email. Recently a longer edit to another draft email was completely deleted. Does this happen due to an inadvertent keystroke entry or is it some type of timed auto-save feature?? Regardless, it is a complete pain.…

  4. Storage Used

    It's kind of ****** that you changed the amount of free storage and made it next to impossible to find out how much storage I'm actually using. AND you give the hard sell on buying more storage. Just one of many reasons most people have switched to Gmail.

  5. no

    First off, shoving AI in everything continues to be wildly stupid and against the wishes of users. Not to mention an ecological nightmare.

    Secondly, if someone changes the NAME on their account, it should default to changing the name in their sent email headers. It's insane that you have to dig into the settings for this, and you have no reason to believe that it WOULDNT do this. I used this mail to try and be anonymous, and you made me send an "anonymous" email with my full first and last name in the header. Terrible design.

  8. Certain emails not showing up on the New Yahoo Mail

    Hello, After switching to the New Version as of yesterday Feb 26, certain emails are not showing up when I open Yahoo Mail on my PC or Chromebook. I was able to discover this discrepancy only because the Yahoo Mail on my phone is still on the Old version. This is very serious - please address this ASAP because I wouldn't know who is sending my important emails if they do not show up on the new Yahoo Mail.

  9. Setting Yahoo as default in browser results in an error message

    Setting Yahoo as default in browser results in an error message.
    I tested both Microsoft Edge and FireFox browsers. When I setup Yahoo Mail as the default "mail to", clicking on a "mail to" link on a web browser results in error message "Your mail is temporarily unavailable.".

    If I switch back to the Old Yahoo Mail, "mail to" links work without issue.

    My workaround is to go back to Old Yahoo Mail until the ability to use New Yahoo Mail in a browser as a default "mail to" without error is resolved.

  11. Scheduled message not in Sent folder

    I sent a message using the "schedule" feature. Before it was sent, it was in the "Scheduled" folder. However, after it was sent, I can't find it anywhere. I know it was sent, because the recipient responded. I would expect my original message to be in the Sent folder.

  16. subject field cant be editted

    Using google chrome on windows 11 and yahoo mail in that browser. When I compose a new email; if i start to type in the message body field, I am then unable to edit the subject line. I've had this issue through several iterations of google chrome on windows 11.

    No issues in yahoo email in my yahoo app on iOS.
    No issues in old yahoo email. this is only an issue in the new. clearly a bug. sadly yahoo support requires payment to submit bugs
