    Hi Paola, can we please have a bit more info? Can you please elaborate? Are you writing an email and it saves as a draft and when you go back it's gone? We can't try and replicate because we definitely need more steps, context. Thanks.

  4. Hackathon Sorting

    Create an option for users to delete all UNREAD messages with date selection, ie delete all "unread message prior to 1/1/26"

  5. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  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?

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  13. New viewing format is terrible

    The new viewing format looks terrible. I cannot distinguish between the read and unread messages. They all look the same. The boldness of the fonts is not different from the non-bold ones. Everything looks like they are all blended together. Hard to tell between AD or real message. I like the previous format better.

  16. New email layout does not have the easier way to 'sort by sender' feature that was available in the classic version.

    New email layout does not have the easier way to 'sort by sender' feature that was available in the classic version.

    If clicking on the column header can activate the sorting by sender, date, size etc. that would be great.

  17. Advertisement Panel too Big

    The advertisement panel on the right-hand side is too large, which negatively affects the email reading experience by reducing the available space for email content.

    Compared to Yahoo Mail's new layout, the Microsoft Outlook Webmail layout is much better balanced and provides a more comfortable reading experience. It would be great if Yahoo Mail could optimise the right-hand advertisement panel or allow users to resize or collapse it.

  18. asked for my frequent flier number

    I am being asked to provide a frequent flyer number to recover the password for my old account. However, I have never participated in any frequent flyer program, so I do not have a frequent flyer number.

    There is no way I would have selected this as one of my security questions. As a result, no matter what answer I provide, it will always be marked as incorrect.

    This leads me to believe that Yahoo either deleted or corrupted my account information, making it impossible for me to regain access. After trying every available recovery option, I still cannot log…
