  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. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Please allow user to block more than 1000 spam emails.

    Please allow user to block more than 1000 spam emails. I have exhausted 1000 limit in 6 months with increasing spam mails daily and now can not block any more senders. I am getting 15 to 20 spam emails daily. Or you needs to increase your security.

  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.

  10. 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?

  12. 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 ****.

  13. 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.

  14. Yahoo Mail is not usable at all. The Return key doesn't work in Mail, so you can't type paragraphs.

    The Return/Enter Key does not work at all in Yahoo Mail. You can't end a sentence and hit "Enter" to start a new paragraph. That's completely unusable for me. I now have to set up an entirely new business email and take all of my stuff off of Yahoo because it is unusable. I am losing THOUSANDS of dollars a day because of this problem. FIX IT.

  15. Get rid of the recipient in the address box because it takes longer than just placing the name and autofill at thatand go back to original.

    Stay with old address box with "To" rather than "recipient". The old way was much faster than going through all my contacts to find someone

  16. Get rid of the pointless videos in the email inboxes etc

    It states that the videos posted are "the most exciting" whereas the same video about allergies has been posted for a long time. The idea of videos in inboxes is, in my opinion, a nuisance and a waste of bandwidth.

  17. Search not giving results in SPAM folder

    Earlier it was easy to search SPAM folders with any keywords but nowadays it doesn't give any result even when the keyword is correct and it's on the subject line, in email id and inside the body of the email as well. Am I doing something wrong? Check this issue on priority.

  20. Unknown addresses

    Please tell me why when I go to compose an email autofill comes on. That is not the problem. Problem is I get all kinds of addresses I don't know or want. I keep deleting them and they keep comoing back, Very irritating!
    How do you stop this once and for all?
