  1. Outlook can't communicate with the Yahoo server

    Co wydarzyło około jednego miesiąca temu że mój Outlook nie może komunikować się z serwerem Yahooo - błąd podczas ściągania wiadomości. To jakaś tajemnica i gówniana robota. To psuje całkowicie dotychczasową funkcjonalność mojego programu do poczty e-mail: Outlook. Niefajne jest także automatyczne zmiana grafiki i funkcjonalności app pod przeglądarkę internetową - stara byłą zdecydowanie lepsza , bardziej intuicyjna i funkcjonalna. Ktoś ponadto ograniczył dostępna dla mne pojemność przestrzeni dany określana do niedawna w 1 TB - obecnie Yahoo do dno. (What happened about a month ago is that my Outlook can't communicate with the Yahoo server – an error while…

  3. Lost folder access

    My idea is to put back access to the folders I created under the old yahoo mail.
    Can't find them under this new yahoo mail. I had important information in those folders that I need. You should have told me I'd lose access to these folders BEFORHAND!

  5. Connect multiple Comcast mailboxes after migrating to Yahoo

    I have more than one email from my years at Comcast.net and use one as my primary, and another as secondary. There seems to be no way, after a half hour of working at it, to combine another (or ANY) Comcast Mailbox. Options are there for Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL, and 'Other.' Nothing seems to work.
    I still want to be able to use the one sign in to monitor all my email accounts.
    Please advise if this is possible, and my best steps to make it happen.
    Thanks

  7. Move to inbox

    After the recent upgrade, I can no longer move emails from a folder back into the Inbox. The Inbox does not appear as an option under the Move icon, and drag-and-drop into Inbox also fails. The only workaround is moving messages to Trash and then restoring them to Inbox. Please fix — users rely on Inbox as an active workspace.

  8. FIX SELECTION

    Search by Sender - Just hover over the sender's profile image and a spyglass icon will appear where you can search all emails by that sender.
    Well it works, but I suggest that if i am in my INBOX I would like to see only the mail in the INBOX and not my complete mailbox.
    When I did a search for mail in TRASH I thought I was only deleting mail in TRASH and NOT delete all in mailbox. That causes me to ask for a recover of my mailbox, which put all mail from all folders into my INBOX.…

  10. delete

    How can I remove the pop-up reminding me to Undo deleted messages? I go through my emails, hit delete, then next email want to delete but the popup for the previous email to undo sits on top of the trashcan! So I can't delete until I close the Undo. ugh.

  11. HOW MANY UNREAD MESSAGES?

    NOT a fan of this (unrequested) change. AT all. Immediately can't see how many UNREAD emails I have. Just to begin with. It's really not that easy. God, after all these years, do have to find another platform? Or just switch to GMAIL? God! No thanks!

  13. mail viewing box

    old version---i was able to adjust the width of my email viewing area as much as 2 whole inches by making the folder section thinner with a simple click and drag....the new version should have this ability instead of dead unusable space in between each section (folders, mail, contacts/ad)
    due to eyesight I need to use my screen at 100% and this makes a huge difference

  15. Adding links: a more efficient process

    When composing a message, I often embed links in the text. e.g., "Last year's report says blah-blah", and I'd add a link so people can click on "Last year's report" and it would take them to the report. To do this I use the shortcut Ctrl-K (or click on the add link button).

    Problem: when I add a link in the new Yahoo Mail, my cursor does not automatically go to the Link field. So I have to click on that field before pasting the url, instead of just pasting it right away. Then the cursor does not automatically go…

  18. Give option to search a folder for a specific email.

    Currently, you only give the option to search all messages or search another email account. Please add the option to search a specific folder (one I created) for an email. For example, I have a folder called "Orders," when I make an online purchase I save the receipt email in this folder. If I go looking for this email, I only want to search for it in my "Orders" folder. I do not want to search all my emails. Another option would be to allow users to change the color tint of the headers of all of the emails in…
