How do I move the VIEWS below FOLDERS?

As above. VIEWS are just in the way. How do I move them out of the way?

    Instead of only having one "view" into a folder ex: I can only see the contents of my Inbox folder or my sent folder one at a time, an option to add multiple "views" into different folders at any given time.

    I'm on a lot of mailing lists and seemingly cannot get off some of them or stop from being added to others (thanks internet!) and often times, the sheer number of emails coming in is daunting and makes me not want to scroll through reading senders and subjects.

    In the event I do scroll down senders and subjects, sometimes I miss emails that are important (and often not showing up regularly), sometimes I delete things which I may be interested in reading at a later time when I'm not busy--I delete them just to get them out of the way. What is missing, is the ability to group these into various categories (yes, folders) -- AND -- peer into multiple folders simultaneously from the main "view" which is now occupied by the current folder. This way, I can focus my attention to the view I need to, see what is happening there that may require my immediate attention, as well as scroll the other folders that are more focused on leisure activities and entertainment, just so I can gather the subject headlines without my brain having to sort through and categorize them one at a time.

    Reduce the space between the Folder Titles. The old email had them closer together and I didn't have to scroll down, now I do. I'm lazy! Another way to accomplish it would be to put the "Views" below "Folders." I would never scroll down to "Views."

    As my emails are auto-added to respective folders (as opposed to all going in inbox) I'm finding it frustrating having to collapse the Views sidebar thing everytime I want to check folders,

  • Dave commented  ·   ·  Report

    +1 - My emails are auto added to their respective folders and so it's frustrating having to collapse the view folder first .... IMHO personal folders should be added ABOVE the View sidebar or failing that remove the Views sidebar altogether

    Let me choose WHICH items to show in Sidebar under Inbox for the "Less" option. I want to see only "Spam" (with unread counts) at the top of the sidebar. The other options (Drafts, Archive, etc) take up space so my frequently used folders no longer show up without scrolling. And let me move Views after Folders... for the same reason.

    I agree with everybody else - please make the Views folder movable so that it can be moved out of the way by those who don't wish to use it. Point is - why fix it if it ain't broken? Why do you have to change the mail design every couple of years? Just leave it alone!!!!

  • MikeyOz commented  ·   ·  Report

    yes i would also like to either remove the 'views' completely or able to move it under the folders.
    I do not use this feature at all. I don't understand why you have to change, the classic mail was fine.
    I think some young kid has too much time on their hands thinking they are improving when they are not. Don't be a pain Yahoo, if it's working ok then leave it alone.

  • JENNIFER POLLACK commented  ·   ·  Report

    I absolutely despise the Views and would like to see it removed entirely. If you're not going to remove it, please make it moveable so that I can move it to the bottom, underneath my folders and make it so that t once it's been hidden, it STAYS HIDDEN. It's infuriating having to hide it EVERY SINGLE TIME I open my email.

  • sarah jones commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am going back to Gmail if this is not fixed. Gmail is more user friendly and I don't have to deal with Views. It is terrible, and clearly people do not like it. It seems that Yahoo is not a customer centric company since they clearly are not interested in feedback that has been shared repeatedly.

  • Tom Stager commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree there should be an option to eliminate (not just hide) the Views section. It is of no value to me and just gets in the way.

  • Karen Stutesman commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is so annoying!!! Dozens of people have voted for dozens of different similar suggestions trying to get around the problem that you take a bunch of time to set up folders and have no way to see them in the viewable area of the browser by default. Meanwhile we are stuck with someone else's decision about what they think is important for us to see? Terrible. At least let us have it be collapsed by default or something. Dozens and dozens of posts about this. Do something!

  • Marcelo Correa commented  ·   ·  Report

    I want the option, to disable views....all together. Is pretty annoying and useless. and is taking space for folders. Who though this was a good idea?

  • Chris Berresford commented  ·   ·  Report

    Agreed. If someone has taken the time to create folders it means they probably prefer that over "views"

  • Chris Berresford commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes. Put, or have the option to put, custom folders above views. If someone has taken the time to organize their emails in custom folders, it probably means they don't want the "canned" views.

  • Erin Simpson commented  ·   ·  Report

    How do I move "Views" below "Folders" or at least make the Hide link permanently condense the option until wanted.

  • sandra knight commented  ·   ·  Report

    Hide means hide - Hide doesn't mean peek-a-boo and pop out when screen refreshes
