Upgrade the blasted spam block limit
Stop limiting us to 1000 spam email blocks. This should just be infinite. It's 2023, people buy email domains like it's nothing just to send spam out. Why is yahoo so cheap and limiting it to 1000?

Don't offer unsubscribe option when moving to spam
remove this option or at least have a way to turn it off - trying to unsubscribe from spam just lets the spammer know you have a valid address and you will end up getting 10x more spam!

Add "Inbox" to list of Folders to Filter to
When an email goes to Spam that is NOT Spam, I want to create a Filter to make sure future emails from this sender/domain always go to my "Inbox."
BUT the list of folders I can Filter to does NOT include the Inbox. "Archive" and "Trash" are listed, but no INBOX. PLEASE bring back "Inbox" to the list of Folders to choose from.
"Simply" marking emails from the same sender as "Not Spam" is NOT enough!!!
I did a Chat w/Yahoo, but that was no help, obviously.

Can you allow a user to set up subfolders in order to better organize the folders they have created?
I would like to create subfolders by topic so I can organize my folders. I don't know if that option already exists in Yahoo.

"Filter messages like this" should not include subject line
The number one use case for this feature is when I want to redirect all marketing and advertising emails into another folder. Now imagine - which company on earth uses the exact same subject line for every marketing email?? Including the subject line as a default criteria for creating the filter basically renders the entire feature useless. Why would I want to create a filter that only targets one very specific mail that I will never receive again?

why can't I see old emails on mobile app
I am unable to see older emails via the app. I can see them online at work, but I need access to them on the app. They are IN the inbox and NOT deleted, just older. Also, I can't see/access folders on the app as well. This is a problem.

Inbox searches pull up ALL folders
You know when you think you are cleaning out your Inbox and you use that little icon to pull up all sent by a certain address to one page? Well, you might want to be careful because you are not just deleting the emial in the inbox BUT ALL OF YOU FOLDERS! I just happened to notice this before deleting something I thought was safe in a folder. So, this explains other missing files. So if you have 100 junk emails from a company and only 1 of any importance you now have to go through ALL OF THEM, ALL…

I received this from customer support:
I understand that you would like to remove "Your Inbox Highlights".
Unfortunately, there is no option to remove this new feature.

Why are you moving sent email to Folder along with received email (part of conversation)
Here's what happens currently that's a problem:
- I replied to an email
- Since I am using the Show Conversation/Thread together setting, my received and sent emails were shown in Inbox tied together
- I chose to move that Conversation/Thread to a Folder I created for the topic
- Later I went back to Sent folder to find the email I sent and could not find it. I had to go to that Folder to see my Sent email.This is BAD DESIGN. Ideally, no matter where I move emails around, a Sent Email (composed or forwarded) should always…

I'd like the ability to move all of our folders and have customized subfolders instead of the default that we get.

Show Number of Emails in Spam Folder
I've gotten important emails sent into the spam folder, and it has been a pain, since some how those emails were critical.
By having the actual number of emails in the spam folder, i can notice much more easily that new emails have been sent in there, rather than mouse hovering over to see the number. If i remember to mouse hover, i would just click the folder to open instead. Issue is, i don't remember to check the spam folder for important emails. And if that email takes time to arrive, i have to check inbox and spam over…511th ranked -
match folder view settings / Customize (Sent) subfolder columns
When I organize e-mails I've sent under subfolders, I am only seeing the sender ("From" column)
I'd like to change the column to "To"
In other words, I'd like to see to whom I've sent an email ("to" column) instead of just seeing repeatedly my name ("from" column)or an option to match folder view settings

It is good we can send prioritized senders into a folder so I do not miss their emails among hundred of emails i received in a day.
I have tons of emails I received in a day and easily miss the important ones. It is great if we can prioritize senders and send them to a folder. e,g, I want to prioritize social security emails to that folders.
