Yahoo Mail Basic
Basic Mail provides base functionality like reading and writing messages, but does not include many of the advanced options. To use these features, we recommend upgrading to full-featured version of Yahoo Mail.

Fix browser recognition
Yahoo Mail is not recognizing Vivaldi, a browser built on the Blink rendering engine, which is also used in Google Chrome. I strongly suspect Vivaldi can render Yahoo Mail just fine, and I'm not going to "upgrade" to one of the big three browsers just for Yahoo Mail.

I want to have list of unread messages only
Let there be a button that shows only unread messages rather than having to search for unread message in the mist of read message(s). This is really necessary because recently, a message that has been read over 3 week ago will suddenly appears as unread and now, you need to start searching for the message in an ocean.

Yahoo is no longer user friendly
You have upgraded the email system so much that it is no longer user friendly. Back off the upgrading, remove the last upgrade and give me my email back. I have switched back to basic because this new system is too difficult to maneuver. The upgrades you are doing SUCK! and it just looks like someone is upgrading **** to keep their job.

Tabs in basic version is missing
I can't work with this new version. everything takes sooo long.
the window changes it size all the time and I can't reply an email like that.
I switched back to the basic version but I miss the tabs.. can't open few email on the same time and switch between them.
Also, "Enable conversations" is a good option to add to the basic version, but only as an optional.
I wish you had a phone number because it is difficult for me to express myself and explain everything in English and in writing...61st ranked -
Do NOT AUTOMATICALLY EMPTY TRASH FOLDER!!! I absolutely cannot STAND this flippin feature! Please..
Whenever I end up needing an email I deleted, I cant go back and retrieve it..why? Because my Trash folder is automatically emptied. I am hoping you can retrieve my recent DRAFT email that I SAVED and cannot find. Im ****** because I needed that. If its not retrieved and the possibility of the auto Emptying of the Trash folder not being resolved. Im so gone. We need room for error and automatically deleting stuff takes away the second chance most of us need.

Easier Method to Block Email Addresses
I continually get the same spam messages from the same senders. They come in at such a high rate - sometimes 100 per day - that it makes it impractical to copy each sender's email address then go to the Options page where I can then PASTE in the address. There SHOULD be an easier way to accomplish this task ... such as adding a function to the drop-down Actions list called "Add to Block List." A pretty simple fix I think to help users cut down on spam!

Yahoo as home Page...
I do NOT appreciate the constant harassment of being bombarded with setting yahoo up, as my home page. If I wanted that, I could very well do so through my web browser.. STOP the BS with that.!!!

Put it back like it was 2-3 years ago!
Put it back like it was 2-3 years ago! I tried the newest one-and hated it -now I went back to classic, but you've changed it, as well. I've had yahoo mail since 1999, but I will use someone else if you don't fix this soon. It didn't need "improving"!

"UNWANTED EMAILS"
Develop an app unsubscribing unwanted emails that have entered the
spam or email inbox. The app should unsubscribe from anonymous emails that have no unsubscribe feature on them (website or an individual sender). An app that shuts down intruding personal emails from an unknown sender with a notification sent to a sender (source) that they will be cited for an invasion of privacy of an individual, a network, or a firm. Whether or not these sites were subscribed by Yahoo clients or not, there must be an option for Yahoo clients to shut down unwanted emails from automated mailing from…372nd ranked -
Yahoo has lost it's mind on what gets dumped into the spam folder.
Yahoo spam is a joke. I'm constantly having to go through my spam folder to mark mail I rely on as Not Spam. It's like five year olds are developing the ****.

why are new, unread emails no longer in bold type please?
simples - new emails are now in the same type-face as old email that's been opened and read. Why are they now no longer logically in the original, bolder type-face?

THERE ARE so many ways you could improve mail
make it simple and make actual message larger, larger, largest. I basically hate yahoo mail but stick with because too busy right now to learn new. Put send down at bottom, eg. look at other mail sites and copy their many, many helpful features. most ridiculous & inexplicable is leaving BLANK SPACE on the right of message; WHY??? Enlarge trhedamn message!!! That's what we look at mail for, not BLANK SPACE on the right or wasted space anywhere. ARE YOU INSANE???? BLANK SPACE WHEN YOU COULD ENLARGE THE ACTUAL MESSAGE??? BLANK SPACE, YAHOO!!!??? CRAZY. You won't monetize selling BLANK SPACE!!!…
