  1. From field not available on Reply/Forward

    ISSUES:

    1. REPLY does not allow you to change the FROM email (it is not even visible). This is a problem if you have multiple emails.

    2. The FORWARD has the same issue as above.

    Both of these are an option on the old version of Yahoo. This is forcing me to copy and paste the entire email and create a new one.

  2. Automatically show editable "Subject" lines when replying/forwarding an email

    When replying/forwarding an email I can't edit the subject line or CC/BCC lines without having to click a little arrow next to the "to" line and selecting "edit subject" or "edit BCC and CC".

    It's confusing when the subject line is already large and bold at the top of the email, but I can't click on it to edit. Instead I have to go hunting around for how to edit it.

  3. Forwarding emails should allow for NOT including attachments

    there used to be an option to included or exclude attachments when you select 'forward' or 'reply' or 'reply to all'--it was either a pop-up or just an editing option when executing the 'forward' or 'reply.'

    BUT NOW, I just tried forwarding an email and was not allowed to delete the attachments. Didn't get a pop up. And there's not way to delete the attachments. Instead I had to use 'reply' and then delete the recipient's name and type in the person I wanted to forward it to.

    Is there anyone reviewing these UI's before you release them? This stuff…

  4. Ability to select a sender for forwarding emails from selected sender

    Allow forwarding only emails originally sent by a selected sender. Gmail has this function. I want to forward only emails that I receive from my insurance company; I want to forward those to my wife’s gmail account. Now I have to do this in reverse; I have the emails sent to my wife’s gmail account, and from gmail I forward them to yahoo.

    The program discrepancy I experienced when sending a modified/updated email from the Draft format, removed all the changes created in the email, and sent the incompleted email verbage..

    Why and what happened, and how do I " Retract or Edit " an email that was sent incorrectly thru your Yahoo Email designed system?

    I need to be able to Retract or Edit the sent Email as the Yahoo Program creates a discrepancy of a Draft email.
    ( An Example of Correction of sent communication is used on the Telegram App communication )

  6. Reply forward glitch

    Why do I have to click in the recipient field to forward an email???? The cursor should automatically be flashing in the recipient field waithing for the address to be entered.
    It is in every other email service. It is very frustrating and time wasting.

  7. Error Messages

    When ever I try to "forward" any messages that have an attachment It will not go through and I get an error message "AN ERROR OCCURRED" message immediately followed by another error message that says: "MESSAGE COULD NOT BE SAVED AS DRAFT".
    This is so frustrating.

  10. Email Attachments

    This a bug more than an idea. When attaching PDF files I have had on a number of occasions the recipient reply the PDF is blank. I verified the PDF on my computer or phone and I can see it on my side it is filled out. I download the attachment from Yahoo Mail and I see the PDF is blank. The workaround I have had to use is send the email from another email provider and then forward that email.

  16. Mail Format

    Good Day,
    First, let me say thank you for all of your hard work, coding, and developing. There are several issues that I have with the new Yahoo Mail that I did not have before. (1) I don't like that the screen goes to the bottom of the email, where send is located, while I'm editing a reply/forward in an email. (2) Can we change it so that when you reply to one email, it has the send button located at the bottom of that specific email, versus going through the whole conversation? (3) The side ads and content influence…

  20. Bug report: deleting draft forward email, deletes the original email too

    This is a bug report with the "forward" and "draft" feature.
    When I delete a "draft" email that is a draft "forward", it also deletes the original email.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open an email
    2. Press the "forward" button
    3. A "new message" will appear with the forwarded email
    4. Close the app, or go back, or navigate out. Any of these actions will save your mail as a "draft"
    5. Open your drafts
    6. Delete the new message that is a "forward". Confirm that you want to delete this "draft" email.
    7. Check your inbox
    8. Expected result:…
