  1. Remove 'Me' from all messages and lists

    I do not want to see 'me' anywhere in the application but, instead, my true e-mail address. This took 1000s of complaints and months of work when Yahoo! Mail moved to the last version to restore and, somehow, it is back again. 'Me' should never be displayed anywhere within the site - only the true e-mail addresses of the sender and recipient.

  3. Please highlight the folders with unread emails

    Only a number next to the folder showing there are unread emails. However the folder itself is not highlighted. Would be good to highlight/bold the folders to make them standout.

  4. Left side bar

    I would like to be able to edit the side bar on the left. The flashing icons on the left are annoying.

  5. Add a way to not show email in Preview Pane

    I use the preview pane, but often times I like to leave it opened up after reading emails without showing any email in the preview pane. Previously I'd click the refresh button to force the currently showing preview email to not show. This helps with having my email open and not showing emails to people walking by.

  6. Show exact number of emails in Inbox

    I hate that no even the Inbox folder is showing 999+ instead of the exact number if you have more than 1000 emails. Please reinstate the exact count!

  7. The folders hierarchy does not show any unread emails.

    The folders hierarchy does not show any unread emails in the box name. If there are any unread emails, I have to go to each folder and check. I have quite a few filters and it is tedious to go to each folder and check if there were any emails on that day.

  10. Improve Keyboard Shortcut to move emails to custom folders

    When you select an email from your Inbox to move it to one of your custom folders, as you know, we can press Keyboard shortcuts like "D then1" or "D then 2" etc until "D then 9". This a bit limited only upto 9 folders but I can understand the logical complexity behind this & thus I can kind of live with it. The main problem is, Yahoo assigns these 9 shortrcut folders automatically to the top 9 custom folders (sorted in ascending order alphabetically). It would be very nice for the user to choose/assign those 9 shortcuts to 9…

  13. Please ease right to left writing.

    In the first use of the new system I was disappointed since many of my composed emails are written in Persian which needs right to left writing. I gmail, the composer nicely detects the language and automatically change to right to left when I write in Persian. Previous version of Yahoo composer was better that the new one for this need.

  14. Doesn't work with Chromium

    Tried it with Linux Chromium. Emails have 200 lines of gibberish code in them when I forward or respond to an email. Going back to basic mail makes no difference, no selection for reverting back. A page popped up and said I had to update my browser, I chose no and to continue with yahoo classic mail, but it looks and acts very differently. It doesn't revert to classic or basic or anything. Now I have to install firefox just to compose emails properly (installing last stable version of Chrome didn't work on my system). So Chromium maybe needs to…

  15. Allow wider width for preview pane permanently

    I regularly use a large monitor with the resolution of 2560x1440, it would be great to take advantage of the space and allow for a wider width for the preview pane as it feels a bit cramped at the moment. I know you can expand the pane but then it collapses as soon as you view another email. I'm guessing it's to fit in ads which is fine but for large monitors there is plenty of space to fit everything.

  17. the 'width of the ad section should be less wide; it takes up too much space and is only annoying!

    so everyone agrees the add space is only annoying your followers--
    companies need to wake-up and stop annoying their clients with their invasive adds- terrance Sydney: who agrees?

  18. sort by date, to and from and bring back the "People" Folder...

    Sort by date - would love to enter specific date you remembered receiving an email on. To and from - it seems like you can use the search bar to just type in a name, but would like to click on a specific folder to search within.

    People Folder...this was the best feature...clicking on it to see if any actual people have emailed instead of scrolling through a sea of retail junk was so helpful! Please bring that back....and SOON!!!

  19. Keep choices (views, sort order) from previous session

    When a user logs into Yahoo Mail or simply refreshes the current session, please keep the choices that had been used in the previous session. For example, I prefer to have the Views section (Photos, Documents, Tutorials) hidden and I prefer the Sort By order for messages to be Unread. However, every time I log in or refresh Mail, these settings revert to the default and I have to change them again.
