New Mail doesn't have good Search filters like Yahoo Classic Mail
June 16, 2019
There are many feature gaps in New Mail that I've used for 20+ years with Yahoo Classic Mail. Search filters is an example. And Search is very important to users, so New Mail should not just achieve "parity" with Classic Mail but should make Search Filters much more robust so users can find emails they are looking for much easier.
1) You should be able to filter by any folder. Inbox, Sent, plus any folders a user has created (e.g. Travel, House Projects, Bills, Purchases, etc).
2) When displaying the results of a Search, show the folder that each email is currently in. Many times, I want to search my Inbox and Sent folders and move emails that relate to a specific topic (e.g House Extension Project) to my "House Projects" folder. So when I search for emails TO/FROM my architect and see 55 emails, I don't know which ones have already been filed to House Projects and which ones need to be moved there.
3) Keyword searches should allow user to filter by SUBJECT LINE or entire email message -- Classic Mail has this!
4) Look at Gmail and Microsoft Outlook, and add features they have for improving the robustness of New Mail's Search capability.
Until then, I'm switching back to Classic Mail.
Thanks,
Nick
