  2. Sent Folder - Mass Actions

    I'm trying to clean up my sent folder. There is no way to select multiple messages and do a mass action on them such as delete, move, archive, mark read/unread. You have to do them one message at a time. Bring back all of the action buttons that used to be at the top and also the select all messages checkbox. I don't know why these aren't there. Should be at least consistent with the other folders especially because the sent folder is one of the main folders in any email app.

  4. Undo Send

    Sometimes an e-mail is sent too quickly or hasn't been proof read thoroughly. It would be nice to be able to do edit or recall an e-mail.

  5. Turn Off "Streaks"

    I hate this annoying "Streaks" thing you've just started in Yahoo Mail. It has no discernable purpose. I can't find a way to turn it off in my desktop view. Show me how to turn it off - by an easy toggle preferably - or eliminate it. Please.

  6. Bug: Disabling AI Message Summaries toggle does not work (stuck on generic previews)

    I turned off the "Message summaries" toggle in Settings, but my inbox won't revert to normal. It is stuck showing generic AI text like "Linkedin has sent you job alerts for..." instead of the actual company and role details.

    I have already tried:

    1, Turning the toggle on and off again.

    1. Hard-refreshing the browser (Ctrl+F5).

    2. Logging completely out and logging back in.

    The UI says it is turned off, but the inbox is completely failing to update. Please fix this caching issue!

    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.

  8. Images continue to show despite changing setting, this is unsafe

    I want to use the new Yahoo mail but it feels unsafe to do so until the images are truly blocked. They are still there for me. But when I switch to the older version they are gone.

  9. Fixing Issues with Fonts

    I would like the Font that I selected in my Yahoo Mail settings to function when I write an email. I chose Classic- Medium. When I write an email, the font automatically reverts to Classic, Tiny. I have to consistently change the font while writing the email to Classic Medium. Can you fix this ongoing issue?

  11. clicking outside the selector box of an email cancels all selected emails for deletion

    This drives me nuts. When i'm cleaning out emails, junk or otherwise, by selecting emails by clicking the box next to them, if i miss a box ALL the emails i've selected get de-selected. Then i have to go through it again. Huge pain. Please fix this.

  12. Ads: Fake Checkboxes - Looks Like an Email

    Ads in my inbox should not be permitted to look like a checkbox to get clicks.

    I had an ad with a box that appeared to be a checkbox, I clicked and it took me to what appeared to be a malicious link. I think it is likely something as a scare tactic to sell some form of PC protection service.

  13. Have differnt Star Colors

    I was thinking it would be great if the user could change the star color from just red. I personally star a tone of emails but they are for different things like work, purchase orders, medical and so on. So for example, I could star my work emails with a yellow star and for medical a blue star and so on. Just food for thought.

  17. Fix Issues with 3rd party apps

    Listen, I get you want me to use your yahoo app, but I don't like it and prefer using my outlook. That doesn't mean I should have to re-sign in and verify my yahoo account almost every time I open my outlook. I've had this email as my primary...the one I check regularly...for decades, but I'm tired of the sign in issue. If you can't resolve this issue, then I'll close my account and set up a second outlook account instead.

    Thanks

  18. Security Questions Instead of Verification Code

    Instead of sending a verification code to another e-mail that I am locked out of, or to a cell phone that I do not have with me, allow verification by means of security questions. Or just let me into my account if I know my password.

  19. Setting Email Senders to timed delete

    It would be great to have emails self delete after a certain amount of time. The user could choose an option to have emails from a specific sender self-delete after 30, 60, or 90 days. For example, I get newsletters weekly. I read through them sometimes, but there are other times I am unable to read them in time so the newsletter is no longer current. By designating this particular sender's emails to self-delete after 30 days, this would also passively manage my inbox.

  20. Contacts

    Recent changes have made finding and editing contacts VERY difficult

    It also seems to be impossible to delete contacts meaning that people come up on my suggested lists that I haven't emailed for years.

    Recent changes that you have made has made using Yahoo mail harder. I am about to switch out to another user unless this improves
