  1. Add Ability to Edit/Rename Subject Line of Incoming Email

    Please add the ability to edit the subject line of an incoming email and save it, like GMail and Outlook allow. Some people send me emails with a meaningless subject line, like "Here's the answer". Or they reply to the wrong email, so the content doesn't match the subject line. In order to find the email again in Search, I need to be able to edit or correct the subject line of the incoming email and save it. I know I can change the subject line if I reply to the email, but that's not what I want.

  2. REMOVE AI SUMMARIES

    REMOVE AI SUMMARIES, or at least make them optional. In one case, the summary captured information from an email chain, and provided wrong information. It made me late for an important meeting.

    Other folks in that meeting were not using Yahoo email and weren't mislead by wrong information.

  4. search by special characters

    Allow Mail search and Mail filter to utilize special characters. Or provide sanitary escape character for such. Only advertisers use ! and % in the subjects of their emails, I'd like to filter out/delete these easily.

  5. 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…

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  9. Add a blocking mechanism for emails with blank From and Subject lines

    In the past few months I have received more and more emails with blank From and Subject lines. I would appreciate an addition of IS BLANK to the Blocking options for these items. I know it is possible, since an add-on to Outlook can do it. I prefer though that these emails not reach my Inbox at all. Thank you for your attention.

  13. switching language

    I write email in multiple languages. I used to be able to set the language email by email. I can't find the facility now. The systems is supposed to automatically recognize languages but it does NOT.

  14. Unsend an email

    An awesome feature to implement would be “UNSEND” for the email. So, for example, if we send an email, we have the option of unsending it if we make a mistake. I highly recommend it. Google has it, and it works miracles for the users.

  18. 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?????
