  1. deleing draft

    I’m writing to express my deep disappointment with a recent experience I had using Yahoo Mail. I was in the middle of an important conversation and attempted to delete a draft. To my shock, this action deleted the entire conversation thread — not just the draft itself.

    This behavior is highly unintuitive and extremely frustrating. When a user chooses to delete a draft, the reasonable expectation is that only the draft message will be removed — not the entire conversation history. Losing an important conversation in this way was not only upsetting but also very disruptive.

    To make matters worse,…

  2. filters

    How about .... making it so user filters actually work? As far as I can tell, your system offers these, but they do not work at all. For example, I would like to block anything with the letter pattern "offeestor" - it's almost like yahoo sponsors this spam, i.e., Yahoo is incapable of blocking it, and my user filters which should enable automatic deletion of anything having this letter pattern... are also completely nonfunctional. Please don't comment that my filters interfere with your spam protection, i.e., that's nonsense.

  3. by not sending mail from inbox to draft

    I am surprised how an email from my inbox was transferred into drafts without the original email in the inbox. Now I have deleted the draft and lost a very important email.

  4. Delete stupid additions

    unsubscribe pop up box and the whole thing just plain irritating. Get rid of the receipts, don't want it to be gin with, don't use it, and it takes up too much room. I don't need a record of my spending in my mail account.

  7. how to delete email using arrow keys

    I used to be able to delete email by highlighting one email and then using the arrow keys go down or up and select emails for deletion. It now seems that using the arrow keys selects from either the beginning or the end and starts highlighting versus where i have selected a particular email to start highlighting. What happened

  8. spam mail delete

    Can you make it so that we can click on the box on front of the Spam mail we want to delete and just have all click delete? It's very time consuming to go through each one, hit the trash can, answer the delete button again for each one. If I sent them to Spam it's because I don't want to see them.

    Thank you!

  10. Delete Autofill Contacts Permanently

    Please provide users an option to delete all the autofill contacts that Yahoo Mail saves. Many do not want the addresses of every person they ever corresponded with saved to an increasing long list of autofill contacts. You used to provide a way to hide these autofill suggestions (an X next to the name) before the recent Yahoo Mail update. Unfortunately, that method only worked temporarily until you logged out. Log back in, and all autofill contacts you hid were no longer hidden, which just makes for added frustration. Even turning off enhanced contacts has not removed any of these…

  11. After unknowingly losing focus on the body of the message, I kept typing. This led to deletion of my draft and moving sev

    After unknowingly losing focus on the body of the message, I kept typing. This led to deletion of my draft and moving several messages from my search results into the Trash folder.

    I'm not sure what happened, but I think the following should be implemented to keep my data safe:
    - Don't execute commands with single keystrokes. Use a modifier like ctrl, cmd, option, etc.
    - Send deleted drafts to the Trash or "Deleted Drafts" folder. It's really frustrating to lose the message I spent several minutes typing.

  12. Custom deleting

    A custom delete checkbox seems like a no-brainer add to have. When clicking upper box, yes there is a delete all. But when you're someone like me that has thousands of emails, but also gets a ton of trash emails to delete, the custom box could say... 'check all, check none, etc. like it has already. But now let's add 'delete today, delete last 2 days, delete to a certain date backwards'. You get the point as in 'Custom'

  13. mass blocking

    when blocking/deleting massive amounts emails in bulk, if too many are selected then I can't actually hit the button at the bottom of the menu to block all the senders! I have to use Ctrl + mouse wheel scroll to zoom out and sometimes I still can't see the delete button because so many addresses are on the list.

  14. delete key?

    go back to simply clicking delete key also while in email or when highlighted. Remember some of us are physically unable.
