  1. After selecting a folder from the Move drop down, keep that location for the next Move

    When an email is to be moved to a folder and you select a folder from the Move dropdown, the next time you want to do the same thing, the Move dropdown has returned to the top folder.

    Fix: Keep the top Dropdown folder showing the last one used. It used to work this way.

    If you reply to an email, that crates 2 emails for the one sent. To move them both into the same folder, you select file from the Inbox, select the Move dropdown, scroll to the folder and move the file. Then go to the Sent…

  3. Deleting emails doesn't delete them

    Hi,
    You were right, I had more than 40000 emails I can erase without thinking twice. Unfortunately, I needed to think about it more than 10 times I tried deleting them and they are still there. It would be good to know when that is solved so I can clear the space.
    Thanks!

  4. Please keep Yahoo Mail safe

    Please block ads that direct users to scam websites. I have received several ads with the title "3 New Messages". When I click on them a popup appears that indicates my device will be locked unless I pay.

  8. Have a button by ads for users to stop seeing particular ads.

    For the past two weeks, the exact same ad has haunted the side of my Yahoo inbox on loop.
    It's an AI-generated video of a man biting into half an avocado... with the skin still on it. As he pulls the avocado away from his face, a big chunk of avocado remains on his lip as he slowly chews. And it repeats. Endlessly.

    I thought it would eventually change to a different ad. I held out hope. For two weeks, I saw that horror of a GIF above text saying, "Americans Have Been Lied to About Avocados."

    It finally changed.

  10. Reverting back to old Yahoo Mail

    Having switched to New Yahoo Mail to see what the new features were, ther is no option to return to Old Yahoo Mail. I prefer how that looks on a desktop screen.

  11. 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…

  12. 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.

  14. 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

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  20. 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.
