  1. It's safe

    My filter puts an e-mail into a Folder. I open the e-mail and see a banner saying they weren't sure it is Spam or not, but gave it to me because of my contacts. I click on "It's safe." It immediately moves the e-mail back to Inbox, so that I have to manually re-move it into the Folder myself. Seems to be a bug, or at least poor design.

  3. bold

    Make unread messages stand out. You used to put the subjects of unread messages in a bold font in message listings. Now it's very difficult to tell which are read and which are unread.

  4. what is the difference between the number of unread messages (999+, ugh!) being orange vs being grey?

    I think i's a shame that no one writes user manuals any more, let alone with a page that describes the user interface and its quirks (all user interfaces have quirks). I understand "999+" next to a folder name means "lots of unread e-mails and we can't count higher than 1000," but what is the difference between that number being orange or being grey? I've been doing a lot of folder reorganizing to break up a huge inbox, and two orange ones eventually changed to grey, so I'm guessing some sort of operation was still pending when they were orange,…

  5. Need to show the name of the folder that an email was moved to when searching for it.

    When searching emails, you need to show the destination folder name whether it is Inbox or the Folder that the email had been moved to.

  6. unneeded folders

    why in the world would you have an "unread" folder? if its unread, it should just show up in inbox or spam. why make life more complicated than it needs to be?

  8. Filter Messages Like this

    I get a lot of advertising emails. I don't consider them Spam, but want to filter them into an Advertising folder that I setup. However to do this, I have to do this 1 email at a time. I would prefer to select multiple messages and do this all together. Thanks

  9. Favorite folder

    I am missing a Folder favorite function in Yahoo, like what Hotmail has. Much used folders can there be dragged up to just above the Folders. I can not understand why Yahoo is not doing this improvement! Please explain.

  11. Please correct

    Hey! The mail is good. I can’t understand one thing, why there is a video in every empty folder. They load memory and the browser freezes. Registered since 2012. Everyone is happy. Thank you!

    I created a new folder in my yahoo mail. I transferred some of my "sent" mail to the new folder. The first column it's showing "me".... obviously the sender is me, so no need to say "me" again. Instead of "me" its better if the first recipient's name appears in the first column.

  14. Offer an optional setting to disable the message list headers

    I use the "Bottom" mailbox/message layout but my suggestion can benefit users with "Right" message layouts too.

    I suggest that you offer an optional setting to disable the mailbox list header labels (e.g., Today, Yesterday, Last Week, 2021, etc.) so that only the list appears in the top half of the screen (with the selected message still appearing in the bottom half as it does today)?

    This change will maximize the space utilization so that more messages appear in the list. The list already contains the time or date of each message so a timestamp will still appear but in…

  18. Why are my emails still showing in my main folder instead of going into the sub folders so I don't have to see my read messages?

    Before today if I put an email into a sub folder it no longer showed in the main folder. That is what I want. Now all of a sudden my main folder is full of messages I have already read and sorted making it hard to get to the ones I still need to read and sort.

  19. automatically keeping sent mail relies in the same folder as received mail

    Can you provide an option to automatically keep mail replies in the same sub-folders as the original mail message I was replying to.
    I send hours every day having to sort the sent mail contents into the correct subfolders so that mail does not get lost.

  20. Unread is not needed. If yes, please provide a way to move to Inbox.

    There are messages in the folder "Unread". Please provide a way to move certain unread messages to the folder "Inbox" (too much to have to open both Inbox and Unread.) Thanks.
