  2. inbox not showing all

    Bugfix: Inbox not having "all" email option, only some of subcategories.

    Few days ago things changed so that by default inbox shows "priority" that it seems to determine very randomly to just couple of emails, other available options are "updates", "offers", "social", and "newsletters", together these do not show even close to all mails, and other options are not available when using "inbox categories", despite settings listing "all" as one category.

    however "all" category is for some reason not shown at all in ui.

  3. Why under "SORT" on the home page isn't there a way to make items in your folder alphabetical?? It used to be in the classic form.

  4. Get rid of the pointless videos in the email inboxes etc

    It states that the videos posted are "the most exciting" whereas the same video about allergies has been posted for a long time. The idea of videos in inboxes is, in my opinion, a nuisance and a waste of bandwidth.

  7. Putting some new messages into inbox and some into "All Mail" SUCKS!!! It's horrible. You've ruined a good experience.

    Being able to make different folders is great. But having YOU decide which folders new messages go to is IDIOTIC!!! Yahoo Mail was simple and convenient. NOW, you are diverting some new messages into All Mail, and some new messages into Inbox. That's MORONIC!!! All new messages should go into Inbox. Then LET US DECIDE where to put them. How can I get it back the way it was?????

  9. Help menu for Restore to Inbox feature in spam folder

    1. The help menu on the spam folder does not mention the "Restore to Inbox" feature. user will not know the advantage one can get though this feature is available.
    2. As per the help menu, once mail is selected as not spam, future emails come to Inbox. If this does not happen what the user should do is not mentioned.

  10. Post

    All my emails have disappeared from my folders.
    I went to HELP@Yahoo.com and it told me to look in the "Recycle Bin". There is no such thing!
    I also tried to delete my GMAIL account, and can't?

  11. Folders and Filter Notification

    It would be very convenient to have the option for receiving notifications for new emails in filtered folders/ filtered emails. Currently, there's only notification for new emails sent to the inbox. It would be nice to have the option to choose which filtered email/ folder we want to receive notification for.

  16. Allow search query to stay on top when sorting messages to folders

    Kindly consider implementing an option for users who diligently utilize folders to facilitate their movement when swiping through search results (update 'move to...' to allow users to type in the name of a folder, it is currently underutilized space). Currently, I manage over 400 folders, and I would greatly appreciate the ability to effortlessly drop an email titled “Zebra” at the bottom of my folders list without the need to repeatedly swipe down.

    Furthermore, I would welcome the introduction of an alphabetical dial located at the edges of the screen, enabling users to swiftly navigate to folders that commence with…

  20. FEATURE IDEA : Email View for items sent by people from Contact List

    FEATURE IDEA : Email View for items sent by people from Contact List
    Sharing Criteria: FREE OPEN SOURCE - Give Credit to Author.

    As there are many filters to display emails of certain types in certain folders, I am suggesting the idea for creating a Folder view where only emails of those people who exist in my contact list will be shown, This will help me filter out the many spam and unimportant emails that I get and do not have time to read.

    Because of not having this function currently, the problem is that the important emails are lost…
