  1. Remove "your inbox highlights" message

    I received this from customer support:

    I understand that you would like to remove "Your Inbox Highlights".

    Unfortunately, there is no option to remove this new feature.

    Does anyone know a way to hack this annoying New feature where yahoo mail keeps telling you things you already know?

  2. ******** for deleting important documents

    Yahoo and all the big data companies are becoming awful, they deleted important documentation. It's better to look for an alternative mailing service. I hate yahoo so much for sharing my data, even worse for not sending my mail when it was important, I wouldn't receive important mail ether. They have become such a sketchy company, **** this mail platform.

  3. FILTER

    When we select a message and apply "Filter message like this" , all messages of the same sender / subject needs to be displayed. What action is to be done the user has to decide.

    What happens is , moving to the Folder is directed.

  4. Limited sorting choices for both the starred and unread folders

    I have an idea regarding how you can resolve your current limited sorting choices for both the starred and unread folders, which are currently Date: Newest on top, Date: Oldest on top, Attachments, and Relevance. Add a COPY option for those two folders, to target a different folder! Doing this would allow you to COPY all emails from either the starred or unread folders to a different target folder (other than starred or unread), which would then have the ADDITIONAL sorting choices of Sender and Subject (which are quite useful, especially SENDER)! I realize that you can currently MOVE to…

  6. shortcut

    Please leave the D then <number> shorcut key to move to folder staticly tied to the same folders. If i'm already in a particular folder it moves every folder below it down one number. the whole point of a shortcut is that you MEMORIZE the key combination for a folder... it removes the entire point if the shortcut is constantly changing.

  9. No notification icon on new emails (Unread folder)

    New emails go into Unread folder without any notification icon, so I don't see that I have new emails to read. Besides that after having these emails read they don't do into Inbox folder.

    This is a defect rather than just an improvement....

  11. auto delete empty folders

    With AI ever becoming more commonplace, there must be a way to tidy up / delete empty or dormant mail folders? or run a search to find such folders, and then tag to delete all in one go?

  12. match folder view settings / Customize (Sent) subfolder columns

    When I organize e-mails I've sent under subfolders, I am only seeing the sender ("From" column)
    I'd like to change the column to "To"
    In other words, I'd like to see to whom I've sent an email ("to" column) instead of just seeing repeatedly my name ("from" column)

    or an option to match folder view settings

  14. For the Inbox and other folders, please display the Send times on all messages, including those received before the current date.

    For the Inbox and other folders, please display the Send times on all messages, including those received before the current date. This is important for finding specific items when there are multiple ones with the same title on a given day.

  16. SPAM Auto Delete Option

    There should be an auto delete option where a user can set the time frame in which to delete mail. I don't want to keep SPAM in my folder for 30 days. There should be an option where I can set an auto delete option for my SPAM folder to have the mail deleted every day.

  17. Sub-Folder Name Visual Enhancements

    In my yahoo mail account, I use a lot of different Folders. And under many of those I have Sub-Folders.
    But when opening the Folder to display the Sub-Folder names, they are closely aligned with the other Folders, making it a bit difficult to tell which ones are really the Sub-Folders.

    It would be a nice enhancement if the Sub-Folder names could have some slight color shading or other visual changes to make it easy to tell those are Sub-Folders of a Folder name just above it.

    Just thought some visual changes to the Sub-Folder names might help.

  18. Folder editing functions need to be updated ASAP!

    Why is the ability to edit folders not more robust and up to date? Once a folder has subfolders, I can't edit the name without removing the subfolders. Why is that?

    And why can't I arrange the folders in a custom order, from top to bottom, of importance to me and not just alphabetically? This seems pretty basic and very surprising that Yahoo does not have these features.

    And the "Views" folder should be at the bottom.

    Please fix these issues asap.

  19. spam

    Hi. I would like to make the following proposition : please enable only the unsubscribe links in the e-mails directed in the spam folder.This would be very useful. Now to unsubscribe from such mail it must be moved in the inbox folder and after that this link becomes active.
