  1. Draft emails just delete while you are working on them

    Three times I have been writing an email and suddenly yahoo just says your email has been deleted. It just happened to me 11:47am 6/20/25 AZ time. I am so frustrated. I don't know why this happens and how to stop it.

  2. Bug: Deleting a draft deletes entire conversation email thread

    When I delete a single draft email within a conversation email thread, the entire email thread is permanently deleted instead of just the draft. This is a serious data loss issue. Drafts should be treated as separate items within a thread and not control the existence of the entire conversation. Please fix this behavior immediately in Yahoo! Mail.

  3. improve "delete" function

    When I want to clean up the "Newsletters", I go into newsletters, select all, and delete. Then to my horror, I find ALL emails in all the other sections are also deleted, and no way to "undo" it.
    Here's a crazy idea: how about making "select all" apply to ONLY the category we are actually in, not to the entire emails for all time. Doesn't that make sense? If I want to clean out "Offers", why in God's name would I want to also clean out all my "Primary" emails? Geez, people, use use some common sense.

    Hi Rick, is this happening on desktop or the app? We knew about this issue and already have a fix for the app, but this wasn't an issue on desktop. This section is for only desktop, please put app feedback in their channels. Thanks!!

  4. Function for removing emails is not working

    The function for deleting all unread messages does NOT remove more than 100 even when I mark Remove all.
    Please sort this out before askinfg your customer to pay for storage.
