  4. Trash

    It would be great and helpful if users could sort the emails in the Trash folder by “Date Deleted”.

  6. Spam folder: Can you show the number of spam messages at a glance? Same as inbox showing new emails.

  7. Can no longer simply press the delete icon and return key to permanently delete messages from spam folder!

    Now it requires a mouse movement to the window and delete button to permanently delete spam messages from the spam folder. This is clunky, slow, unwieldy, and time consuming.

    Also the view all messages from a sender in the inbox folder is gone as well. Removing features from Yahoo Mail makes it a poorer product and I am considering abandoning it for another more user friendly mail product. I've been using Yahoo Mail for years before Gmail and other mail products, but removing features makes me no longer want to use it.

  8. What is the folder location of emails in a list of emails within a search

    I was just stopped from using Classic Yahoo Mail+ and now having to use the new. The new doesn't tell you what folder emails are located in a list of emails from a search. This is a big deficiency for people that have multiple folders.

  10. SPAM

    Why isn't there some why to delete SPAM items?? I have used up the 500 "spaces" for emails marked as SPAM and now can't mark anymore as SPAM.
    I should be able to clean it and start over or there shouldn't be a limit on number of emails I can mark as SPAM.

  11. not spam

    My kid's school emails keep going to the Spam Folder and I have clicked 'Not Spam' well over 100 times now and they still keep going to the Spam Folder. This needs to be fixed. I have added the school to my contacts list to no avail. Unless I missed it, there is also not a way to officially 'white list' the school domain to ensure these emails don't keep going to the spam folder. This is major issue, as I don't want to keep surfing my spam folder each day for important emails..

  12. Allow search query to stay on top when sorting messages to folders

    Kindly consider implementing an option for users who diligently utilize folders to facilitate their movement when swiping through search results (update 'move to...' to allow users to type in the name of a folder, it is currently underutilized space). Currently, I manage over 400 folders, and I would greatly appreciate the ability to effortlessly drop an email titled “Zebra” at the bottom of my folders list without the need to repeatedly swipe down.

    Furthermore, I would welcome the introduction of an alphabetical dial located at the edges of the screen, enabling users to swiftly navigate to folders that commence with…

  13. Help menu for Restore to Inbox feature in spam folder

    1. The help menu on the spam folder does not mention the "Restore to Inbox" feature. user will not know the advantage one can get though this feature is available.
    2. As per the help menu, once mail is selected as not spam, future emails come to Inbox. If this does not happen what the user should do is not mentioned.

    Why are all the folders I created in a folder. I prefer to scroll to find my folder. You've added an extra step. The same goes for finding the trash.

  15. Auto-delete option in sub-folders

    Would like to be able to customize settings for folders to create an auto delete after (x) days rule.

    For context: I send all subscription emails to sorted folders, and get hundreds per week. I have no interest in reading ones >4 weeks old.

    I see this is a popular idea, but I cannot vote for others' ideas, and it looks like they are all being "reviewed" but ignored. Shame.

  16. Restoring sent mail from trash

    When we delete a sent mail, there is no option to restore the mail back to sent folder from Trash. This is a great drawback in using YAHOO.

  17. Subfolders should be aligned to the left +1 step with the folders they belong to.

    Merry Christmas!
    In the left "folders" pane, each subfolder should be presented at least 1 step to the right, relatively to the folder it belongs to (a "tree" appearance) and not fully aligned to the left. It would be easier to locate it. At this moment such an arrangement appears only in the drop-down window when moving emails among folders.

  19. Folder / Rendering Issue

    When clinking on items on the left, such as Sent, Drafts etc. the view first shows old list of the items, then quickly updates the view. The view should be shown up to date already as rendering the list of items, for example after sending a draft then revisiting the folder. Thanks.
