  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. Complaint: Severe copy-paste issues in the Reply window

    Dear Support Team,

    I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding Yahoo Mail, specifically the functionality of the Reply window. The current system is extremely frustrating and unreliable to work with.When I copy formatted text (containing bold words or bullet points) and paste it into a new email message, it works without any issues. However, as soon as I try to paste that exact same text into a Reply to an existing email thread, the system completely refuses to display the text, or the layout becomes totally corrupted.Competitors like Gmail have handled this basic feature flawlessly for years. It…

  5. rDNS problems with yahoo

    GMail is not really sensitive to metadata and on my website I have some problems and the HELO is set to yellow.me, but on yahoo, I have some troubles because you are not working like google to solve automatically rDNS troubles so basically. Google translates the yellow-design.me from context to IP to solve rDNS, you just refuse the emails. Which means if someone is not technically knowledgable enough he won't be able to send emails to clients.
    It would be nice for you to solve these problems automatically like google.

  9. Why isn't there functionality to REACT to an email instead of reply???

    Sometimes you want to acknowledge an email but not send a reply that they have to open. I'm in the new email but there is no ability to react. On the desktop or my phone app. This alone has me consider changing.

  10. Regression

    Ok, this new version of Yahoo Mail that was released is frustrating. Now if I'm replying or forwarding, I am unable to see what email address it is that I'm sending to!? This is very effectively inhibiting usability. I click on the recipient name to see the email address, but it just turns it to show only the plain text of the display name - no email address!? If I hover over the name, I can see a tooltip with the email address, but there is no longer a way to even copy it!? There doesn't seem to be any…

  11. Month, Day Year needs to be shown on all dates when sending and replying to emails

    Month, Day Year needs to be shown on all dates when sending, forwarding and replying to emails.

    Currently you have only Month and Day. The Year needs to be included too since emails could be for used for legal purposes.

  14. bug with email feed

    I have the Yahoo app on my Iphone and I regularly use the Yahoo Mail website on my desktop. I have noticed a discrepancy between my Yahoo email feed on my Yahoo mail app on my Iphone and my email feed on the Yahoo website on my desktop. It is my understanding that the two email feeds should be identical given that they both pull their data from the same source. This discrepancy first appeared about three months ago. Prior to that time, both of my feeds were the same. I suspect this discrepancy is the result of a bug…

  17. Dont duplicate attachments in original email after forwarding

    Would be good if when forwarding an email it didn't duplicate the attachments in the original email. You loos track of what your original email ever was.

  18. Copy Paste is broken on older browser.

    Worked fine before but not on the new mail app. Nothing can be selected or copied in any mail or anywhere on the page .. No selection is made with the mouse, it appears to be a broke UI element .. I can copy on the reply, but not if I close and open the draft again, ... it looks like it is disabled almost everywhere ... Crazy consider one of the ting you do is copy data from email, no I have to reply, view raw or print to copy the information ... anywhere else on the interface does…

  19. putting the "reply" to an "email" first in the stream, instead of the bottom

    When you open an email with a reply you have to scroll through all the previous e-mails sent to get to the reply message. Very annoying. Want it at the top of the e-mail stream

  20. Bug in forwarding to contacts

    I forward one daily mail every day - separately to two contacts who need not get to know each other's address. Until yesterday, that was no problem at all. Now with your latest update it has become a severe problem!
    I hit the forward button and select the first contact and ignore the useless suggestions that your app makes whom else I could act to get a copy of the mail.
    Then when I try to forward the mail a second time to the other contact, this contact is not offered any more, no matter how many letters of the…
