  1. Stop opening a new tab when I check my mail

    I just want my mail to open on the same tab, no need to always open a new tab. Just creates an extra tab to close out.

  2. Mail Settings not sticky

    The new settings are not sticky. They are wiped out every time you leave. Very annoying.

  3. inbox not showing all

    Bugfix: Inbox not having "all" email option, only some of subcategories.

    Few days ago things changed so that by default inbox shows "priority" that it seems to determine very randomly to just couple of emails, other available options are "updates", "offers", "social", and "newsletters", together these do not show even close to all mails, and other options are not available when using "inbox categories", despite settings listing "all" as one category.

    however "all" category is for some reason not shown at all in ui.

  4. 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.

  5. Show all emails all the time. Get rid of the "all emails" feature.

    Show all emails all the time. Get rid of the "all emails" feature. It's an extra waste of time click.

  9. Dark mode for Basic Mail version

    Please add dark mode option for "Basic Mail." This is the format folks are used to and many of us don't like the new version. Please bring this back. Thank you

  10. 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.

  11. Make New/Unread emails easier to find and read. Make All email default, or at least have an option to do so.

    You folks have a new bar across the top of the email "All", "priority", etc.
    It's defaults to "priority." Unfortunately it is what you or your AI consider "priority". I want "All" to be the default. When new emails come in, I want to see them.
    New mails often don't show up in "All" right away, and I now have to open the "..." and then the "Unread" folder to see my new mail. The previous version of Yahoo Mail was superior to this because I could just see my unread mail.
    If you are going to hide folders that…

  12. Composing email

    My settings for composing an email are: Modern Wide - Medium, yet when I go to compose, the size is "small." Why aren't my preferences working?

  13. Stop recommending me new mail

    I already tried it. I've gone back to the old mail that had no problems with it. Stop asking me to try the new mail after repeatedly closing all the advertisements to switch back when I've already switched off.

  15. Full calendar view does not work. Each time I click of "full view", it sends me back to the sign in page.

    Full calendar view stopped working, can only get limited view. Clicking on full view sends me back to the sign in page.

  17. 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 ****.

  18. Go back

    Go back to the previous mail. Your "New Mail" is dreadful - can't find anything, can't customize, it's ugly as sin, and offers ZERO benefit.
    I believe you changed this simply to keep your "programmers" employed. But given the result, they should all be returned to the zoo.

    Where are all my folders? You roll out a new version that I cannot figure out how to use. Online suggestions do not work as don't see the icon to select. All my folders are gone and I have items that are needed. Please fix this.

  20. block sender

    Hi, I have been able until yesterday to use the 'block sender' option for those peculiar emails. All of a sudden the option is blocked. Can you please advise how to get this option back under the drop down menu under the 3 dots (next to spam). Thank you. This is a very important option especially when you feel your account is under threat.
