    Agreed - why does the "new and improved" version of the software remove functionality?

  • Zed Karai commented  ·   ·  Report

    What happened to the Right Mouse Click Feature on a Message to "FILTER EMAILS LIKE THESE" Please bring it back as the new method is ridiculously long winded in the New Mail Format!

  • Sith Penn commented  ·   ·  Report

    the email block options need just by right click just like the old mail.

  • TheWiz commented  ·   ·  Report

    I used to be able to right-click on an individual email and select several options, such as "Mark as unread." Right-clicking does not give me any options now. I also like "direct" paths. E.g., If I want to delete some emails now, I have to select them, then move over to the middle of the page at the top to be able to select the delete option (or the move option, or whatever...), instead of just going straight up to the top of the column above the selections - it's farther and not as targeted. This seems like a small thing, but it's NOT better, it's worse than the old email.

    Right click functionality for marking read or delete multiple mail should be restored

  • Claire commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please bring back the right-click filter option. This was so quick & easy - why remove such a useful feature?? The new way to set up filters is clumsy and time consuming.

    Please please please bring back right click context menus! I just want to mark something as read, and before I "right click" and select "Mark as Read". Now I don't know what to do. Have to highlight a check box then find some menu to perform it.

    Please...I'm stuck with Yahoo Mail for the rest of my life. I've had this email address my whole life and I'm not going to move. Doesn't mean that I like Yahoo! Mail! It just doesn't work most of the time and I don't know why. It's so frustrating. All I want is a simple mail client. I don't need anything super fancy.

    It's so depressing

    Right click on a mail item used to give you a menu of options such as delete, mark read, mark unread, etc. It no longer does that. Please bring back this functionality.

  • Paul Adelaide commented  ·   ·  Report

    I used to be able to right click on a new, unread Message and scroll down on the pull-down menu to mark the Message as Read. But this feature has disappeared. The new way: "To mark email as read or unread, check the box to the left of the senders name. Then click on the More icon that looks like “…” and select Mark read or Mark unread." requires more steps. That's not an improvement!

    Please bring back the old method.

    You keep asking me if I want to try the new mail, and I keep replying that I won't use it until you give us back the right-mouse-click menu. I mean that. I'm going back to the current version of mail until you fix this.

    How many people need to post that RIGHT CLICK MARK AS READ/UNREAD is missing!?!?!?! Bring it back!!!!

  • helen commented  ·   ·  Report

    ticking the box and finding another button takes too long.
    right click is much better

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    From New Mail, click the Contacts icon Image of the Contacts icon in Mail..
    Click New Contact.
    Enter the contact's info.
    Click Save.

    THIS IS STUPID RIGHT CLIP ON EMAIL ADDRESS TO ADD TO CONTACTS

    How bout right clicking on a email address and adding them to contacts

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Almost every complaint is someone either wanting or voting for bringing back right click>filter option back, yet you keep ignoring us. Repeatedly giving us instructions for how to do it the new stupid way that takes forever does not make it completed or resolved. If you can't do it for some reason then give us another way by checking the message and selecting filter in the drop down menu or something.

    Anything would better than copying the email address, going to settings, clicking more settings, clicking filters, clicking add a new filter, pasting the addy, entering the rest of the info, saving then going back to our inbox. You made something that used to take 2 seconds that we all obviously use constantly take 10 minutes. So not cool. PLEASE FIX.

    I will not use the new Yahoo mail until the right-mouse click options are all returned exactly the way they are in the current Yahoo mail.
