  1. 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…

  2. Storage plans confusing

    I got a strange email from Yahoo - it says I have 200GB of storage under the new plans (I subscribe to Mail Plus mobile-only). It also says I am over my quota and need to pay for more storage. But when I check my usage using the newfangled tool, it's only 24.9GB. Am I over quota or not?

  4. refresh glitch

    I'm using latest Google Chrome. During checking emails and deleting, Yahoo Mail keeps refreshing and putting me back to the top when I was scrolling down a couple of hundred emails. I have to scroll down to find my spot, but then refreshes again and I can never get lower than a 100 emails or so. Also, while writing from a saved draft, Yahoo Mail refreshes and puts me out or opens a new draft, or scrolls down to the bottom of the message. Then finally, the draft disappeared and is nowhere to be found!!! Please bring the old Yahoo…

  5. Copy/paste an email address

    Why is it impossible to copy/paste an email address?

    For example, in the "To" you add a name. Then, there's no way to click it, to grab the text of the email address.

  6. Without tick marking Email the mark as read icon (dot in previous yahoomail) is missing

    Unable to mark email as read without opening / without selecting / tick marking it, as in old Yahoomail there was a "dot" so without tick mark or opening email we could mark email as read to save time. I suggest it should be there in new yahoo.

  7. On delete, the success dialog come on top of delete icon, does not allow delete next until gone

    I have noticed in new Yahoo Mail, when i delete an email, the "Message Deleted" dialog comes on the top of Delete icon which does not allow you to delete any next email until it is gone, need to wait until it is gone or X it. it should be shown somewhere else so if we plan to delete more emails one by one it should not come on the way.

  9. Go back to how it looked before!

    Your new ,mail inbox settings are hard to read and even less ways to customize. Give me back what we had. Now I barely can see any emails at one time. Before I could at least see 20. All your little logos for everyone that sent something is super annoying and distracting.

  10. Spam folder does not show up in "new" Yahoo Mail

    Spam folder is missing from the left pane in new Yahoo Mail. I cannot find a way to make it show up all the time. This means I have to click the three dots and click on Spam. I have switched back to the old mail, because I need the Spam folder to show up in the left pane.

  14. panneau de contact

    Mettre une option qui nous donne le choix d'enlever le panneau de contact et de suivi sur le côté droit.
    En enlevant ce panneau, l'aperçu des PJ pourraient de nouveau être mise sur le côté droit, ce qui permettrait de pouvoir faire autre chose tout en ayant l'aperçu de la PJ affichée.
    Actuellement on est obligé de toujours cliquer sur la PJ pour avoir l'aperçu et de le refermer pour faire autre chose, avant on pouvait faire les deux en même temps.

  15. Go back to old email

    You can improve it by making it work like the old Yahoo email. It worked fine. The new one does not. It constantly switches to "priority," it's really hard to see anything, it doesn't scroll right. The subject lines don't seem to match what the sender wrote It doesn't save the title of attachments when you try to download them. You had a good product, and you have ruined it.

  16. New Yahoo Email

    Change it back to the other version. HATE this new version that we got today. Too hard for me to see, too hard to see which emails are new, not user friendly, etc.... I want the option to have the older version instead. Sick of you changing things for the sake of changing things instead of just fixing what people are complaining about. Why do you keep doing that? I really cannot see this well as I have vision issues and this white is entirely too bright and the dark is too dark. This is hurting my eyes and giving…

  17. Folder order

    Hey...
    I miss the link to the spam folder being at the top left, with the other folder options.
    That is something I check daily... and now the new Yahoo Mail has made it harder to get to!!!
    I have to scroll down past all my folders... and it's a long folder list... to get to 3 dots... and in there... finally, the spam folder link... WTF?!

    Please fix this.

  20. Horrific new layout

    This new layout for yahoo mail is horrific. Anything you tried to do to improve it was a complete back fire. Is there a chance a settings option can be included that returns yahoo mail back to the previous layout? I accept that some will like it, can you accept there are those of us who don't and prefer how it was?
