  2. 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.…

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
