  1. It would be nice to have an option to encrypt the personal folders.

    In case you leave your mail open or if it's hacked. A second layer of protection away from the inbox could protect sensitive data in the folders.

  2. Bring back the display of emails in the Spam Folder!

    Bring back the display of the number of emails in the Spam Folder, please! I missed several time-sensitive emails last week because I didn't know this feature had been taken away! Yahoo, you are very sneaky and it's VERY annoying!

  3. MOVE BACK TO SENT FOLDER

    Something happened that moved an e-mail I just sent to the Trash folder.
    I WANT TO MOVE IT BACK TO THE "SENT" FOLDER.

    I used to be able to do this, now this option is missing.

    User should be able to move their e-mails to ANY FOLDER THEY WANT, including BACK TO THE SENT FOLDER.

    When switch to New Mail, I am not able to move the sub folder out of its parent folder. (I could do it with old yahoo classic mail version).

    Not able to change the folder name when it has sub folders.

    Why these basic operation are not implemented ?

  7. Moving email from sent to another folder should not change recipient to "me"

    When an email is sent and then moved to another folder from the Sent folder, keep the name of the recipient in the TO field, don't change to "me".

  8. unread emails are not bold enough don't stand out against backgrounds

    You can hardly tell the difference between the read and unread emails against the polarizing backgrounds you are forcing us to use. The font needs to the thicker and bolder. The white on dark is seriously problematic. GO BACK TO THE OLD MAIL. EVERYBODY HATES THE NEW ****** MAIL

  9. Spam Folder

    The number of messages in the spam folder needs to show like it did in the old email and it does in the inbox. I don't like having to check the spam folder all the time to see if there are messages.

  10. How do we change how often the Spam Folder is deleted?

    Mail in my spam folder is being deleted too soon.
    30 days is not enough time to realize that an expected or unexpected email has been wrongfully sent into the spam folder.
    Three months would be ideal.
    Or otherwise to let us, the missers of wrongfully spamified mail, to select how frequently the spam folder emails be deleted.
    Certainly some persons who do not use their emails for job-related correspondence wouldn't mind the short-term holding.
    But for those of us who unexpectedly receive auto-spam-sorted mail that ISN'T spam, and thus don't know about it till we start to wonder if…

  11. Moving from Sent Folder

    When I move a message from the Sent Folder to another folder, the item remains in the Sent Folder until I refresh. This is not true for deleting items from the Sent Folder or moving items between any other folders.

    Hate new Yahoo mail. I don't need photos, documents or tutorials and I have to click Hide every single time to see my own folders. And I can't see how many files are in Spam. Who decided on these "improvements" - I have had yahoo mail for a very long time and each time you improve it I hate it. and where is help? there is no way to rearrange the folders shown on the left side at all? unbelievable!

  14. Message timestamp no longer shows when hovering over date

    In the message list, I used to be able to hover over the date on a message to get the full timestamp, without having to open the message. That very useful feature is now gone. Now all I get if I hover over the date is the trashcan icon with a "Delete this message" tooltip. If I want to see the timestamp, I have to open the message - even if the timestamp is all I want, and I don't want to actually read the message. This is not just annoying, and an impairment to usability, but is also a…

  17. Search using specific criteria

    I can only obtain search results if I search using the All Mail option.

    If I only want results from my Inbox, I do not receive anything (even when it really does exist).

    Should be able to search the subject or contact or content, etc. instead of searching everywhere and in every folder. That option should not be the default but only on request

  18. let me find my "sent" mail from any platform

    Using Yahoo mail from: the mobile app; my computer's mail function; the website. In any one of those, I can only see SENT mail from the same platform. I need to see ALL sent to a particular address, not just from one platform.

  19. Search Mail Items / Sent to Whom ?

    Safety of using search feature:
    When searching for mail items the list shows some Received and some Sent items. However, for Sent items it says "Me", but doesn't show to whom each mail was sent. This could be misleading, if the other items are for a product support or another important contact of a company, but one of the Me items were sent for a different company. If not noticed when opening the Reply, might important info be sent to wrong address. Thanks.
