  1. Request for Improved Support Options for Yahoo Account Recovery and Security Issues

    Official Yahoo Mail Call Now +1 844-588-2505

    As a user of Yahoo services, I often encounter challenges when trying to resolve account-related issues such as password recovery, hacking, or unauthorized access.

    Currently, the support options available are limited and sometimes difficult to navigate, especially for urgent security concerns.

    I would like to request the addition of more accessible and direct support channels, such as live chat or phone support, specifically for account recovery and security issues. This would greatly enhance user experience by providing faster assistance and peace of mind.

    Additionally, clearer guidance and step-by-step instructions within the Help Center…

  2. Hire a new webdesigner

    the new design is just akwardly terrible. It is not possible to see clearly the difference between read or unread E-Mails on a webbrowser.

  3. Email notifications of replies and responses to comments

    Return the notifications of replies and responses to comments I've made. The interactions are the best feature of Yahoo article comments.

  4. Settings to allow condensed view of inbox messages (spacing, etc) like old Yahoo Mail

    Hello,

    I would like to move to New Yahoo Mail but the settings do not seem to allow a condensed view of inbox messages (spacing and title only) so I can see more inbox messages at once and avoid having to scroll down.

    I have this setting with my current Old Yahoo Mail and it is so convenient.

    Is this functionality available for New Yahoo Mail too?

    Best regards,
    Mark Hollis

  5. Make unread emails clearer

    I find it much harder to see unread emails in the new look yahoo mail - would be much clearer if unread emails were highlighted as they were before.

  6. The unread messages are not prominent in Yahoo Mail Dark Mode

    When in Dark mode giving a better background to unread emails will make them more prominent. This isn't an issue in non dark mode as the boldness of the text easily stands out on the white background.

  7. I logged in to see how much storage I was using and it doesn't say.

    You sent me an email about storage and so I logged in using a storage link, to see how much storage I was using, but there is nothing to tell me how much i'm using. All the page does is advertise to sell more storage. Which is rather annoying. :( So I am none the wiser! Thanks.

  10. Colored circles

    There should be an option to not see the colored circles(pictures. It makes the GUI look messy. Even Google the king of buttons has an option not to see it. The old GUI was cleaner looking.

  11. Jag vill ha den gamla versionen

    Den nya versionen är hemsk, oöverskådlig och beige.
    Den är tråkig och inte lika organiserad som den gamla versionen.

  12. Suggestion for Dark Mode

    In Dark mode, it is not as easy to see which emails are unread as in Light mode. The purple dot does not stand out as much as it does in Light mode. I think if the preview bar on unread messages was a shade darker (or lighter) than messages that were already read than it would be easier to quickly glance and instantly see which emails are still unread. I prefer Dark mode in most applications, but because of this I am still using Light mode with Yahoo emails.

  13. Keep option to write new mail to same sender

    The following feature should not be lost: when opening a received email, we have the option to reply to it, but if we want to send a new one with a different subject to the same sender, it is easy. You just have to click on the header of the received email, where the sender's address appears, and a small modal window with the contact details and their email address will automatically open. By clicking again on the email address, a new tab opens to send a new message with a new subject to that sender, thus avoiding manually typing…

Further I can't find how to change the layout, and what I now have is only a fraction of mail information, so need to double click, and loose the overview of the list of mails. i didn't ask for it to be changed and I need to put the font size of the screen smaller which makes it even harder to read.

  16. Fix the Add New Contacts function in Yahoo Mail

    I am presently unable to find new contacts to Yahoo Mail. I had a long chat with the AI about the issue. I fill in each field when adding the contact. I click SAVE. I see a small popup telling me the contact was saved. However, it doesn't appear in the contact list, and I cannot find it by searching for either first name, last name, first and last name, or email. I clicked on ALL when searching. I cannot find it by searching by email. I do get similar listings, but not the new contact. The AI was unable…

  17. Yahoo Premium

    I recently upgraded to Yahoo Premium to increase my email storage space. I needed to edit and send a form to my doctor today. His receptionist received the form with my signature only. Any fields on the form that I entered information in a blank space were erased. I kept opening the PDF form on my computer and could see all content. I would upload the form to the email message, click on the icon to see the preview, and none of the content that I entered in the blank fields of the form showed in the uploaded one to…

  18. Verify advertising links!

    I clicked an AD link at the top of my inbox and it immediately opened one of those scams where your screen is locked, there is a siren noise and a voice telling you your PC is compromised and to call the flashing number on the screen. I recognized the scam and took the necessary steps to clear and protect my PC, but I was disappointed that the scam came from a link in Yahoo.

    Hi Ann, thank you for sharing your feedback with us! It would be super helpful to take screenshots of this happening and send it over to oasis.mail.feedback@yahooinc.com. Then we can get the client's name. They create their ads and we simply put them on our platform. So if they created something like this, yes, it cannot be on our site. Thanks!

  19. CANNOT ZOOM IN THE ATTACHED FILE WHILE PREVIEW

    WE CANNOT ZOOM IN THE ATTACHED FILE WHILE PREVIEWING, I JUST WANT TO VIEW THE FILE IN EMAIL ONLY WITHOUT DOWNLOADING, BUT THERE IS NO ZOOM IN OPTION AT THE TIME OF PREVIEWING. I THINK SO THE VERY FIRST WEEK THERE WAS THE OPTION OF ZOOM IN DOWNSIDE TO JUST VIEW THE FILE WITHOUT DOWNLOADING, NOW THERE'S NOT.

  20. Add a Subscriptions tab to the desktop version

    It is not very easy to find subscriptions from emails like it is in other mails where u can easily go to a subscriptions tab and unsubscribe from there instead of having to go through the emials, I know you can do this on the yahoo app but I cant seem to do this on my desktop so if you could please add a tab on the side for subscriptions. Thank you!
