  1. 'Schedule Send' and 'Undo Send' across all platforms

    I’ve noticed that the Yahoo Android mail app includes the “schedule send” and “undo send” options, which are handy features I regularly rely on. However, these options aren’t currently available when using Yahoo Mail on a web browser. Since these features greatly enhance the user experience and help set Yahoo Mail apart, it would be fantastic to see them implemented consistently across all platforms. Since the backend already supports these functionalities, extending them across all platforms seems like a great addition. Would you consider adding this to your future updates?

  2. Account switcher broken

    The new account switcher (in the upper right) is seriously broken - it only shows 3 accounts after I click on "Add or switch accounts", when I have 4 active accounts. Worse, it doesn't show the most recently used account. For example, I recently switched from account A to account B. Now, when I select "Add or switch accounts", it shows me accounts B, C, and D. There's no way for me to get back to account A!!! Seriously broken. Also, why the extra click on "Add or switch accounts"? - This is an extra, unnecessary step. I switch accounts…

  3. 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.

  4. Conversation View

    Reading and responding to emails within a chain is almost entirely unusable. You don't need to include the entire chain of responses with every reply it makes is so confusing and unreadable.

  6. Attach from Recent Email Attachment Option

    I see the attach from computer option for adding attachments to new emails, but where did the Attach From Recent Email option go? It was very handy and saved time not having to download and reattached. Bring back 'attach from recent email' option.

  7. Contacts List Cut Off

    1) I am not able to add a new contact to my contact list. When I open up New Contact, the box does not provide enough room for me to input the contact data. Only 1/2 of the contact information box is visible, as the contact information box is blocked by the inbox emails to its left. Can this please be fixed.

    2) Also, why did you discontinue "attach document from previous email" as an attachment option when sending documents? The only option is to attach documents from my files. Your previous version was far more user friendly when it…

  8. NEW EMAIL AND UNREAD IN DARK MODE HARD TO DIFFERENTIATE

    In the new version of Yahoo Mail, any read and unread messages in dark mode are so hard to differentiate. It was better in the older version.

  10. Storage

    very upset because I stayed with Yahoo and moved all my history here because yahoo mail offered 1Tb storage. Now I can't even pay to receive what was promised. Pay for 200GB when I had 1Tb for free? Why Yahoo? You should not take away from existing accounts but rather just limit new accounts. Yahoo apparently wants to have a reputation for lying, false promises, and taking away services from long time loyal users.

  11. When selecting sort - it should remain as the choice you want; should not reset each time

    I sort so that "unread" is first and then when I return to the screen it sorts right back to newest first. If I select the sort option it should stick to that choice until I change to a different choice. Ridiculous - no wonder everyone hates the new version. Stupid.

  12. links jump to beginning of email

    when typing out an email, and trying to paste in a URL, say for a restaurant menu - it gets shoved to the start of the email??? I cannot post a URL in the body of an email? Crazy, weird? WHY?

  13. Move Spam and Trash above Folders. Now, Spam and Trash are virtually inaccessible if you keep your Folders expanded

    I saw you currently have a hint about keeping all folders expanded and this is really important. However, this is unusable right now. When Folders are expanded, it becomes a nightmare to access the Spam folder and since your filters do not work (no matter what tricks you try to make them work), easily checking the Spam folder is a must. If you expand Folders though, access to the Spam folder (and Trash as well) becomes quite hard, especially when you have a lot of folders like me. Please, move Spam (and Trash) above Folders (ideally in the section with…

  15. backspace deletes emails that are being replied to

    When I try to reply to an email and I hit the back space, at all, it deletes the entire email. I just hit the back space on a very important thread of emails and it permanently deleted the entire string of emails I have been trying to work out a return for an expensive product for. When an email is in my inbox, it will automatically send it to the trash folder and exit the email if I press the back space and it does this without warning. the reply function/forward seems very buggy and there was also an…

  18. Cannot Accept Teams Invite

    There is nowhere i can accept an invite for a Teams meeting when party send an invite. please fix this. Not only can I not accept the invite, I cannot even see the time the invite was sent for. How embarrassing. Yahoo is not keeping up with the times, and it may be time to switch to a new email service.

  19. storage button

    Is there a way to move the storage cloud icon to the top next to the manage account? or remove the cloud icon since it does show the amount of storage in use in the manage account? The reason I ask is because I have multiple yahoo accounts and with the cloud icon on the side bar, it moved the icon that lets me switch between accounts so easily. Or if that icon to switch accounts can be moved to the top? Thank you for your time.
