  1. Mail preview issue

    Thank you for the new Yahoo Mail, I really like it. However, there’s an issue — even though I turned off the mail preview option in the settings, previews still appear in the emails.

  2. mail folder persistent sub-folder expansion

    Hello Yahoo Mail Team,

    Sub: Yahoo Mail Folder Persistent Sub-folder Expansion OR one click expansion of all sub-folders

    I’m using the new Yahoo Mail app on Windows 11 and have noticed that sub-folders in the folder pane collapse automatically. When new messages arrive in a sub-folder, they’re not visible until I manually expand the parent folder.

    This behavior makes it easy to miss important messages unless I constantly check and expand folders. I’d love to see an option to keep sub-folders expanded persistently or have the app auto-expand folders with unread messages.

    Thanks for considering this improvement—it would greatly enhance…

  3. browser stalls when loading

    It looks like whatever you're loading in the background when opening Mail, probably ads, brings my browser to its knees. Stop loading so much junk.

  4. Not GETTING MY EMAILS

    I just found out that after over 25 years of using my yahoo account my email is full in fact over 128% over. I decided to pay the $5 a month. I still have no emails for nearly a month. I need to get my **** from today.

  7. aesthetics and customizations

    1) The aesthetic look of new Yahoo mail is not as great as the older one. Please make it more colorful and customizable.
    2) The options to open folders like inbox, sent items and all other folders should be editable. For Ex: I would like to fit in more folders in a single view rather than click every time to expand the view.
    3) I should have option to be able to see more emails in a single view when i choose the "List" Option in Message Layout. Currently the message preview is also visible which is affecting the number…

  8. Closing last remaining tab brings you to "inbox primary" but scrolled down to a couple days ago. Why?

    Closing the last remaining tab brings me to "inbox primary" but scrolled down 2 days ago. Why? Ideally, it should go to the top. I'd also rather have a setting for my preference to default to "inbox - all" and not just "primary".

  9. Having done a search and clicking on an email, return to the search tab when closing the tab

    Tab 3 is a search. I click on an email and Tab 4 opens. Go back to Tab 3 and click on an email. Tab 5 opens. Close tab 5. It goes to an "Inbox - Primary". It should go back to the search tab, in this example it's Tab 3.

  10. back arrow should close tab

    Clicking on the back arrow when finished reading an email should also close the tab above, but the tab remains open. Clicking on the back arrow should be the same as clicking on the "x" to close an email - which should close the tab.

  11. Starred

    I want "Starred" to appear on the left menu bar. Of the items there, I click on "trash" the least so I'd suggest you replace "trash" with "starred" and move it to the slot second from the top. Starred means you need to reference it, so it's important. Give it an important position in the menu bar.

  13. Mail List format needs to be more compact, too much vertical spacing is wasted

    Mail List format needs to be more compact, too much vertical spacing is wasted, if not by default it would be nice to at least be able to select a COMPACT LIST option for Mail

  16. Settings

    Wellll, so far not a fan. Is there a way to change the gray highlight behind each email in the inbox? Didn't see any option in settings. Things like this is the reason I stopped using Gmail after they insisted on their latest changes which imo completely ruined the interface and made it too hard to look at on my PC. Yahoo was the only last and best option. I loved the old interface but for some reason companies feel they have to change, possibly because engineers need to justify their existence or just need something to do, don't know,…

  19. Commercial ads with sound and music

    Please eliminate the commercials that appear on the right column AND THAT GENERATE SOUND. It is very annoying to be working and all of a sudden have to listen to a commercial coming from an email platform.

  20. FWD msg to recipient

    The last time there was a yahoo update a feature seemed to change.
    Now, when i hit forward on an email, it DOESNT automatically put the cursor in the TO field for the recipient. Im not sure where its selected, but it needs to go back to that, like it is on every other mail platform. When you fwd to someone, I should be able to start typing the address without first having to click in the TO field. thanks!!
