  1. can't see all features

    I am on a laptop, and there are many times the bar that contains delete and spam goes under the search bar....and becomes unoperable. I recommend testing the app on many devices so you can see how bad it is.

  2. Emails Drafts being deleted

    Email drafts are being deleted when the "delete" button is accidently clicked when typing in the subject of the email. This is extremely frustrating as I always have to restart my email. I have lost work multiple times in the last week because of this. Please look into this issue, otherwise I might need to switch my main email address to Gmail.

  3. Stop the advance to the next email

    This just started, but I noticed when I'm reading a long email and I'm scrolling through it, it advances to the next email, and I'm not done reading the one I was on. So frustrating! I tried to find a way to stop or disable that feature, but there's not an option. So I have to go back several times and open up the email I was reading to finish it before it advances to the next email. I hope my description makes sense?

  4. Keep on current email, without jumping around; then have to scroll up or down to find where you were at!!!!

    Please make it so one does not have to jump around after viewing an email, to have to navigate to go where you first were. I was able to change the option of deleting an email(it comes back to where you were first viewing), BUT if you just view an email and exit out--you are not where the original email was. Please STOP the 'jumping around movement' of where we are currently viewing. It definitely makes for a longer period of viewing email than I want to spend.

  5. Tabs are hard to close now.

    The new "tabs" are ****. You have to hover in just the right spot to get the X to close it, and then it sometimes disappears before you can click it and you have to try the hover move again.

  6. Search Field changing its position

    Sometimes when I use the search field at the top of the page, it pops down lower and covers the "toolbar" where the trash, spam, move, reply, forward, mark read/unread icons are, and I cannot access those icons. I must refresh the screen to get the search field back into its original position. This just started happening recently, which makes me think any recent programming changes may have affected the search field. Can it be made to stay in its proper position?

  7. file name of attachment

    I sometimes receive emails with Attached files, and it's important for me to easily read the Full File name of the attached files, and I'd like to do this w/o opening the file.

    For example, if I am working on a project with someone and they are sending me attachments with file names that have a rev number in them or other information in the file name that gives me information on the file. I don't see anyway to view the full file name except by downloading the file. I would like to be able to hover my cursor over…

  8. 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.

  9. emails keep jumping up to first email

    As I scroll through my emails, whenever I open one, then close it to continue scrolling instead of seeing the next email in the list, the list jumps back up to the first email. This is frustrating and time consuming. CAN YOU FIX THIS PROBLEM?

  10. After you respond to an email top header crashes into next line

    Is not an idea. You have to fix this issue. As soon as you reply to an email the search box crashes into the top of the email header. There is no way you have not noticed it. Also, I can not scroll down more than 20 emails without it kicking me right back to the last email. Like if I need to find an old email from a few days ago I cant. It has been a pain.

  11. Scroll bar does not work right for moving messages to folders when starting from one message that is being read

    The scroll bar to move down the list of folders does not work right when moving a message to a folder, but this problem only happens when I'm starting from one message being read.

    Everything is okay if I start from the message list.

    Basically, the scroll bar only scrolls within the window. This makes it hard to reach the folder I want, especially since I have a large number of folders.

  12. Duplicate attachments

    It seems that all my old emails now have the attachments duplicated. For example if the original email had attachment X, attachment Y, and attachment Z it now still has those been then it also has a second copy of attachment X, attachment, Y and attachment Z. This has just seemed to start happening in the last few weeks and I do not understand why. I have had the free yahoo mail service for almost 20 years and recently noticed that yahoo mail is now putting storage limits on this account type and wanting those with large amounts of data…

  13. selection reset

    Selecting multiple emails for deletion is difficult, as the check boxes have a small "hit box" and instead of checking the box, the email is brought up, and when you go back to inbox, all your selections are gone. This doesn't happen in gmail, which remembers your previous selection.

  14. Location of Message Deleted popup

    After deleting a message in the inbox, the Message Deleted popup covers part of the inbox and interferes with processing the next message. Please move the popup to the bottom of the screen or somewhere else outside of the inbox.

  15. New Yahoo Mail Format

    Dear Yahoo

     I must inform you that the new format for Yahoo Mail is awful.
     When you want to reply to a message, with the new format, you can't see what you've written because you can't place the writing cursor where required on the screen. 
     What's more the options for operations for writing e-mails are very very awkwardly situated with this new format, with the old format the options stayed at the foot of the screen, new you have to scroll down the entire history of the whole e-mail conversation, and a bit more, just to click a simple command

  17. unread mail doesn't show up on primary list

    Yahoo tab at the top of my browser shows I have new mail. When I click on the mail tab, primary mail is listed (as default) but there is no unread mail shown. If I click on the "all" tab I can see unread mail here along with everything in my "primary" listing. Why doesn't unread mail just show up on my primary list like it used to? Alternately, if I could make the "all" list the default setting I would immediately see the unread mail. Why is it when programmers "improve" a program they seem to break more stuff?

  20. DATED EMAIL SYSTEM

    I am NEVER using Yahoo mail again. I recently stopped receiving emails and am being told I need to pay to add storage. This is asburd. I am trying to mass delete emails prior to a certain date, and I cannot mass delete. No matter how many times it tells me my emails are deleted - they are not. I can only delete 50 at a time. No wonder this is a dying company. This is completely unacceptable
