Views
I understand you are not willing to allow your customers the option of deleting Views but can you at least allow us to move it under our Folders so we don't have to "Hide" it everytime we sign into Yahoo mail?

spam
Spam folder does not update item count until the folder is actually slected.
Since Yahoo has the habit of flagging my legit mail as spam (50% of what get flagged as spam is not), I need to know when I have new items in my spam folder. The count indicator does not update until after I've opened the folder for 10-20 seconds. So that means I need to manually check my spam box more often than my inbox so I don't miss mail.
This is basic functionality that was lost with the forced move to the "improved" interface.

Filters
I just switched to the new email format. Not only is it very 'busy' now....I like the streamlined look, but I filter a lot of emails into folders to keep the Inbox clean. The problem is, with the old format, I could go to the drop down above the email and click to 'filter messages like these'. With the new format, this is gone andf I have to go to settings, copy and save thew email address, then go to filters and paste it so I can filter the emails into a folder. Who thought it was a good idea…

The folder panel is too narrow. Please add a control to adjust its width.
The names of my custom folders are truncated. It should be possible to display them fully.

views
It would appear you have completely ignored the many people who want to Hide Views on a more permanent basis. Why cannot you allow for this? On my laptop, I have only so much real estate, and your expanded list of Views cuts down on my ability to look at my own, personal folders. Please, implement this, or let me have my old interface back permanently, where there was no such problem with Views.

Permanently GET RID OF your folders for Photos, Documents, Deals, Purchases, etc. I hate them. They're blocking my custom-made folders!

This should be an option that the customer should be able to choose whether to display them or not. Or better -- get rid of them completely! i hate them.

Apply Custom email filters *before* Spam filter
I have 20+ filters set up for specific domains, showing that I *clearly* want/expect emails from them.
These emails should not end up in the Spam folder. I don't care what your 'statistical learning' thinks is spam. The defined filter clearly shows *I WANT THE EMAIL*. Your system should *not* override that.
The *only* exception I can think of would be if spam filter knows the email is *dangerous*. Not 'undesired' but *destructive*. In that case, perhaps overrule the Filter. But if the email is safe, *my* Filters should trump *your* statistics.
Alternatively (or in addition): Put a marker for…

Allow notifications for specific folders only.
I currently have work related emails being filtered to go to a work folder.
I would like the ability to receive notifications when emails hit that folder only.
Currently notifications inform you of every new email in the general inbox only which is not helpful.
Please consider folder specific notifications.1361st ranked -
Make Views folder in mail optional!
I have noted Yahoo has decided not to allow users to permanently remove Views. This is intrusive, especially as it keeps popping up with so-called news that I overpaid for something. This means Yahoo is monitoring all my online shopping! It is unacceptable. Yahoo, as a long time user, I implore you to rethink this. I am also talking to Verizon, your new owners.

moving emails to a folder
In the old Yahoo mail, when you moved an Email to a folder, Yahoo mail remembered that and the next time you clicked to move an Email, the folder list came up with the folder you previously moved to visible. Now, it goes back to the top. This is an annoying change and a loss in functionality. At least, there should be an option in settings to select this behavior.
