  1. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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…

    i'm visually impaire and the new l ayout is a nightmare to see it quickly. 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.
    help refers to ... and settings, that are nowhere to be found.
    it is a shame for visually impaire persons to let them…

  11. 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…

  12. 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…

  13. 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!

  14. 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.

  15. 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!

  16. The floating "offers" icon

    While I am reading emails in the Priority tab of my inbox, there is a small "Offers" icon floating between the Priority tab and the list of emails. I want to be able to disable that little floating "offers" icon, because if I wanted to read emails sorted to my Offers tab, I would manually click the Offers tab to read them. I do not need a hovering little icon to remind me there are unread emails in another section.

  18. Keep "reply", "reply all", "forward", "Read/Unread", "Star", "Move", "Delete" & "Spam" buttons positions static.

    In the latest edition of the Yahoo mail, the "reply all" button has been made conditional where it appears or disappears based on whether the email chain has one or more persons on it. When this happens, the location of the delete and spam buttons to move. Previously, I would keep my mouse on the delete button and keep clicking on it as I am going down my emails. Now, when the "reply all" button disappears, the spam button shifts to the location where the delete button used to be. And unintentionally, I end up marking the email as spam…

  20. clicking outside the selector box of an email cancels all selected emails for deletion

    This drives me nuts. When i'm cleaning out emails, junk or otherwise, by selecting emails by clicking the box next to them, if i miss a box ALL the emails i've selected get de-selected. Then i have to go through it again. Huge pain. Please fix this.
