  2. draft emails in inbox

    writing a new email or responding to an email I get dozens of copies of the "in progress" email in my inbox. I am guessing that every time a draft is saved, as well as updating the copy in 'drafts', it also puts a copy of the in progress email into my inbox. It is a major disaster and I have no idea how to turn this (useless) feature off. I have had to delete (manually) 200 to 300 emails in the last 2 days. The problem started yesterday (I did nothing to cause it that I am aware of)

  3. 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.

  4. refresh glitch

    I'm using latest Google Chrome. During checking emails and deleting, Yahoo Mail keeps refreshing and putting me back to the top when I was scrolling down a couple of hundred emails. I have to scroll down to find my spot, but then refreshes again and I can never get lower than a 100 emails or so. Also, while writing from a saved draft, Yahoo Mail refreshes and puts me out or opens a new draft, or scrolls down to the bottom of the message. Then finally, the draft disappeared and is nowhere to be found!!! Please bring the old Yahoo…

  5. backspace deletes emails that are being replied to

    When I try to reply to an email and I hit the back space, at all, it deletes the entire email. I just hit the back space on a very important thread of emails and it permanently deleted the entire string of emails I have been trying to work out a return for an expensive product for. When an email is in my inbox, it will automatically send it to the trash folder and exit the email if I press the back space and it does this without warning. the reply function/forward seems very buggy and there was also an…

  6. edit subject in draft

    When composing an email, if I click in the text field without first typing in the Subject field, I am unable to go back and edit the Subject Field. The only workaround that I've found is to make a change in the To field first, then it lets you edit Subject. This is annoying.

  7. Ctrl+Shift+V

    In Chrome browser on a Windows laptop, Ctrl+Shift+V usually means "paste as plain text" but when I use that in Yahoo! mail it actually sends the email (prematurely) with no way to call it back. Please make Ctrl+Shift+V paste text instead of sending the email.

  8. 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.
