  4. Yahoo Mail Plus subscription on an annual basis?

    Hello Team,

    Is it true that you can't get (buy) a Yahoo Mail Plus subscription on an annual basis? I'm referring to the subscription that removes ads from your email.

  5. Why did you make yahoo mail FUBR?

    Hi!

    How can I revert to the old yahoo mail, that let's us reply on top of the message?

    Why does it bug out when replying properly at the top of the message? When replying properly at the top of the message, the paragraph or sentence get's broken and jumps down automaticly below the message that I'm replying to.

    Can you fix the issue of having to reply to message below the message that waws sent to you? Please, revert to the original replying on top of the messages, that was sent to you.

    Is there a reason for making…

  6. make default rich-text font changable

    in my yahoo mail, I can change the font style and font size in a composing mail window.
    However, if I compose mail in reply, only "modern wide" and "tiny" available. I checked the setting for writing mails, under "Default Rich-Text Font", only "modern wide" and "tiny" are the options available.
    What is going on?

  7. I can't see all my inbox message, like I could do before. I have to go all the way to the bottom of the message and use the bar .

    I can't see all my inbox message, like I could do before.
    Sections of the inbox message to the right cannot be seen - it's cut off.
    I have to go all the way to the bottom of the message and use the bar horizontally.

  8. mail view change when you dont use full screen mode.

    when you have the screen smaller the reading area with the message layout right side get cut off because you enforce the right bar where you can see calendar and stared mails. should be a option to hide this bar, and or have it so it can get poped out over the message if needed.

  9. Renaming Folders

    Just tried to change the name of a number of my email folders and after changing them and receiving a confirmation message they had been changed none of them changed. I have several folders titled INBOX/......

  10. New emails are not appearing in my inbox

    New mails appear, and I see my unread count increment, but they don't appear in my inbox. If I click "Unreads" they sometimes will appear in that list. But then I got back to my inbox, and they are still not appearing, and then they also don't appear in "Unreads" because, well, they're read. This started only since the new mail design went live. I never had this problem in the old design.

  12. Make search work again. Please. Or let us switch back.

    Well done breaking it, heroes. I can't find messages that had information in that I needed, which this time last week I could get to with ease.

    I don't know if there's something changed on the algorithm front that affects what does and doesn't appear in response to particular search terms, but the UI itself is busted anyway.

    Best that I can tell, what's being returned behind the scenes is the same 25-results-per-page list that I was used to (and would prefer to have again - is there any good reason why, in the words of this very page, I…

  13. Make the box less busy, crowded looking

    I hate the new Yahoo mail format. The look is too crowded, close together, too busy looking. It gives me a slight headache just trying to focus on what I need to. Can hardly distinguish the ads from the emails as they are intermingled in together. I do not like how Yahoo decide what is primary and what is not. There is a space/box to the right of the opened emails that I can't see how to move as it makes the emails themselves have smaller room to enlarge to be able to read the entire email without having to…

  14. Bug Report: Yahoo Mail Print View Displays UTC Instead of Local Time

    In the new Yahoo Mail interface, clicking the Print button opens the NOVATION_APP print page, which displays email dates in UTC instead of my local time zone (Pacific Time). The inbox shows the correct local time. Old Yahoo Mail prints the correct local time. This occurs in both Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome and began about a week ago.

    When I create a new contact through the iPhone Phone app, the contact is successfully saved to my Yahoo account and is visible when I sign in to Yahoo Contacts online. However, the contact does not appear in the Contacts app on my iPhone.

    I have already completed the following troubleshooting:

    • Confirmed that the correct Yahoo account is connected to the iPhone
    • Confirmed that Contacts syncing is enabled
    • Turned Yahoo Contacts syncing off and back on
    • Removed the entire Yahoo account from the iPhone
    • Restarted the iPhone
    • Re-added the Yahoo account using the built-in…

  18. Fix the Printing Scale (You Just Broke It)

    The "New" Yahoo Mail's print function doesn't print the email scale correctly. It shrinks the email contents down very small, a small percentage of an 8.5"x11" page, making it very hard to read. The header text is similarly VERY small and hard to read. The print function in the previous version worked perfectly fine. Changing the scale option in the browser's printer options doesn't help this. For example, if you increase the browser's print scale to 130%, the email contents disappear off the side of the page. So this is not a browser issue. Yahoo Mail is forcing a huge…

  19. Stop Blocking the Navigation Bar with "Undo Delete"

    This "new thing" is obtrusive and considerably annoying. You moved it up and out of the way for a couple of days yet now IT'S BACK. Get rid of it....move it up...whatever. I'm about an inch away from going back to Outlook. That's how much some of us hate this "led by the nose" experience with Yahoo Mail!

  20. show next message option displays previous message

    The "Show next message" setting displays the previous message instead of the next message. The issue is reproducible in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge and by clearing cache. The issue occurs using the move message function from the folder icon and the delete message function. A capture of the issue is provided and at 00:18s where the previous message is displayed when the show next message option is selected. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o0oY9sGHaM

    Secondly, how do users respond for User Voice? Our confusion is there is no Reply option as shown here - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_K9bkHka6E3BORO3W1Tt_tvWy2x3CLKO/view?usp=sharing
