  1. Permanently GET RID OF your folders for Photos, Documents, Deals, Purchases, etc. I hate them. They're blocking my custom-made folders!

    Permanently GET RID OF your folders for Photos, Documents, Deals, Purchases, etc. I hate them. They're blocking my custom-made folders!

    This should be an option that the customer should be able to choose whether to display them or not. Or better -- get rid of them completely! i hate them.

  2. Renaming folders

    I am unable to rename a folder once it contains subfolders which is very frustrating :( Now I have to take extra time to empty out the subfolders in order to rename it. I would also like to be able to move folders around and drag and drop them into pre-existing folders which also saves time.

  3. Want to see folder name for each email when I do a search

    Every day I do searches. When I do a search, I want to see what folder each email is in. If the email is in the Inbox, then I either read it, scan it, or delete it. Since there is no column that list the folder for each email, my clean-up effort takes much longer and is extremely frustrating.

    For example, if I do a search for emails from Amazon, I want to know which emails are in the inbox and which ones are already filed in a different folder. This helps in my search and clean up process tremendously.

  4. SMTP protocol makes no provision for keeping sent emails. Yahoo keeps a copy regardless.

    Yahoo now keeps SMTP sent emails (Like Outlook or IOS client) in SENT folder where it did not years ago. SMTP protocol makes no provision to do that. I already have my SENT emails in my Outbox. I use Yahoo SMTP to send alarms from my in home security cameras and this makes duplicates. Just provide option in Settings to NOT keep a copy of SENT emails when using SMTP

  5. Protect emails from deletion

    I have lots of important messages, receipts etc that I have nearly deleted at times by mistake. I think it would be great if particular folders and their contents could be 'locked' for protection against this, so that if you try to delete the messages inside them a warning pops up.

  6. Upgrade spam filters (Allow custom filters to send to spam folder)

    More spam is getting through than usual. Spammers have upgraded, now it's the filters' turn. And in the mean time, while were waiting for Yahoo to upgrade their own filters, I don't want to have to create a second spam folder when I specify a custom filter (the only folder I can't send custom filtered mail to is spam; not convenient when spam filters are slacking off).

  7. Make Views folder in mail optional!

    I have noted Yahoo has decided not to allow users to permanently remove Views. This is intrusive, especially as it keeps popping up with so-called news that I overpaid for something. This means Yahoo is monitoring all my online shopping! It is unacceptable. Yahoo, as a long time user, I implore you to rethink this. I am also talking to Verizon, your new owners.

  8. I want to be able to search by Sender (i.e. Mailbox, Trash folder, etc)

    Bring back the option to search by Sender -- older versions had this option. Grr! Very aggravating Yahoo Mail!

  9. Folder Icons

    Allow icons for folders. Being able to identify a folder at a glance without the need to read the name would allow for easier use.

  12. A suggestion on the folder column resize issue......

    If Yahoo mail can't or won't allow resizing the folder, then perhaps it can "word wrap" the truncated names.

  14. Wish the Filters get updated after renaming of Folders

    1. Create a Folder
    2. Create a Filter on it.
    3. Rename the folder created in step 1.
    4. Created filter will stop working.

    Wish you fix this!

  15. Make it so when you Move an Item from the Inbox, you can type the first letter of its destination folder without clicking to set cursor

    I find it frustrating to move items from my inbox into folders. When I click on "Move," I see my long list of folders, so i would like to immediately type the first letter of my destination folder to avoid scrolling. That said when I type a letter, Yahoo!mail begins composing a new email.

    Currently, when I want to move an email, I have to click to establish my cursor in the dropdown before I am able to type a letter to find the destination folder I am looking for.

    I wish you could eliminate that need to click within…

  17. Why I can't move folders?

    Don't you need to move folders and sub-folders?

    For an unexplainable reason, Yahoo Mail doesn't let us do so.

    Any plans to fix it?

  18. VIEWS opens up every time I open mail & I have to close it before I can get to my folders. There's no option to move it or close it for good

    VIEWS opens up in the sidebar every time I open mail & I have to close it before I can get to my folders. It used tp be at the bottom of the sidebar in the old format. There's no option to permanently hide it or move it to the bottom of the sidebar.
    You didn't really think of the users when you developed the new format.
