    You need to go back to the old format/layout for Yahoo mail. The new format is confusing and it is difficult to access my mail. I will be dropping Yahoo and will be using Gmail for everything from now on,

  2. when you first click on Unread mail on the left then yahoo sort mail need to add alphabetical order & sorting by sender

    when you click on Unread emails on the left and the yahoo sort mail tab it needs to have to sort by sender, alphabetical order with ascending & descending, date: newest on top, date: oldest on top, starred, subject attachements. Also when you click on inbox the sort tab on the right it does not have sort in alphabetical order with ascending & descending.
    also there is no automatic way to sort mail into separate file folders automatically which will help sort out spam and other emails properly.

    Also I noticed a sections under the email that says unsubscribe which…

  3. Let me move a Folder directly under INBOX

    I need to move a Folder directly under INBOX. I can't believe how I can't easily do this. Folders are way too far down on left side menu.

  4. Please bring back chosen language!

    For the past week - since you changed something- the language keeps changing to a different language - it's really upsetting and uncomfortable.

    What is this new dial with an arrow in my mail? It obscures text in the message and is annoying. How do I remove it?

  7. Recipients

    When sending an email the address goes after "To". Now all the sudden after I enter the email address in "To", "to" changes to the word "recipient". Is this just to confuse us or is there some actual reasoning behind it?

  8. Get rid of the recipient in the address box because it takes longer than just placing the name and autofill at thatand go back to original.

    Stay with old address box with "To" rather than "recipient". The old way was much faster than going through all my contacts to find someone

  10. Hide view next unread message

    What is this obnoxious large circle covering a good bit of my message allowing me to skip to my next unread message? Garbage, absolute garbage. How do I hide it? I can't! Not in settings.

    When you introduce a new feature, give folks the ability to turn it off. This is ****.

  14. Be able to close the SETTINGS field in mail

    I have over 18" of screen space for Yahoo mail the first 2 sections of yahoo mail screen are the same a column for compose, inbox and other folders. Then the regular wide column that contains the day, sender, email title and first line. There used to be a small settings area that would open when you needed it. Now it is on all the time giving me the large circle with an image or letter for the owner followed by information about the sender and do I want to add or update that sender. It is a waste of…

  16. New In-Box Sort Tabs Function

    RE: new tabs at the top to sort emails in the in-box > Priority, Updates, Offers, Social or All

    I like this new feature, but it seems to have a bug. My preferred default is "All" but when i go to one of my folders and then return to my In-Box, the default goes to "Priority". Couldn't figure out where most of my emails went, until i happened to notice these tabs at the top, and this is how i discovered them. It would be nice if we could set a default sort, and change the order of these tabs.…

    Stationery is a critical difference maker for Yahoo Mail so why has it been removed from my Yahoo Mail now? I LOVED it and I am pleading with Yahoo Mail to bring it back ASAP, especially for the holiday season. Thank you kindly in advance.

  18. i would like to be able to change the color of the stars based on how important the email is to me.

    Allow selection of star color. i have had to find an email quickly and the easiest way would be to be able to filter on starred emails and if the user could change the color of the star based on importance.

    Windows allows you to categorize emails using color.. that would work too.

  19. Repeat events every 4 weeks

    I didn't see this to vote on it. So... I love Yahoo calendar. But I have events that repeat every 4 weeks, not monthly. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could make it possible to repeat an event every 4 weeks. It's kind of a hassle to have to do it manually LOL

    You don't read these complaints and fix a very annoying problem for everyone!
    Why have a "complaint section" when you totally ignore every single one of them?!
