    I believe it would improve greatly if you firied whoever is making the decsions at this time and in the recent past. The trash folder just randomly empties its self with no optional settings available.. It just seems like in the last few years Yahoo has been experimenting with letting pre schoolers do there set ups in many areas.. Yahoo at one time was wonderful entity.. It is just a shadow of that once great time.. progress in backwards will not save it.... time to nut up and clean house.. start at the top.

  2. Password or pass code for archived folders

    Is there anyway we could get an update one day that would allow us to put a password/pass code on our archived email folders where if someone was able to get on my account they could not access information in these folders? Just wondering.

  3. Move folder tree keeps returning to the top

    When I'm done with an e-mail, I click "Move" and then select the folder where I want to store it. The "Move" drop down list used to show the last folder I moved something to, but now it returns to the top of the list every time. This forces me to scroll and search for the folder I want every time.
    Please have the Move folder remember the last "drop down list" position again.

  5. Stop the list scrolling by itself.

    Like most things Yahoo, this is extremely annoying. Looks like I have lots of people to commiserate with.

  6. Views tab needs to stay hidden or be able to be removed

    I dont use views tab, I dont want views tab. Please don't be like microsoft and shove stuff down our throats.

    This stuff needs to be optional. Or at least when you click "hide" it stays hidden.

  7. WHERE IS "NEW FOLDER" NOW?!?

    PUT THE "NEW FOLDER" LINK RIGHT BELOW THE SEARCH LINE WHEN I OPEN THE "MOVE" LINK AND THE LIST POPULATES. THAT WAY, PEOPLE CAN SEE IT FIRST AND IT'S MUCH EASIER THAN WHEREVER THE HE** YOU HAVE HAD IT ALL THIS TIME SINCE YOU CHANGED OVER TO THESE NEW PAGES, WHICH I HATE! YOU THREW OUT ALL THE GOOD STUFF!

  9. "move" needs improvement

    When I use the move button, it always opens at the top of the folders in alphabetical order. It used to remember my last move so that when I hit the move button for the next message, it would default to the area of the list of the last folder I moved to. This was way more convenient than having to scroll thru the alphabetical list again and again, all day long.

    I agree with what someone else wrote on an comment that you reviewed but did not respond to (and now is no longer open and available for comments):

  11. Reinstate incoming mail counters for individual folders at the top of all individuals folders area.

    Please reinstate the new email counters on the FOLDERS area at the top of the individual folders area for emails that are setup to automatically be placed into specific individual folders. It only shows up on the exact folder as it did before but is missing the counter for all emails coming into individual folders. Having this counter eliminated having to scroll through all the folders to see if any emails have come into any of your folders. This feature was on the Classic version before. Thank you for reinstating this feature.

  12. Allow resizing of Folder panel

    The new format has a worse user experience than the classic format.. My folder names cannot be more than 15 characters if I want the full name to display. The new format should allow the folder panel to be resized so that the user can see the full folder names.

    When I noticed this a while ago, I switched back to the classic format which allowed me to see my full folder names. My email was apparently forced to the new format recently, and I wanted to switch back to the classic mode, but that option is gone now. Is…

  17. Filters/Folders are too hard to make and manage

    Making Filters is almost impossible. It's TOO HARD. It's ridiculous how hard it is. Please make it very easy to find and use. This is not rocket science, people. It's simple UI/UX design. Please add a simple contextual menu for adding an email address to a given or new filter. It's so slow having to create new filters and folders everytime I get a new email, I just gave up and now just delete every single email read or unread. I stopped reading email because Yahoo makes it too ******* their users. I just want and need good easy to…

  18. Add an 'Unread Mail' folder like Outlook has

    Add an Unread Mail folder where any unread emails are shown and once read disappear just like Outlook. Now that you've no longer made it possible to see aggregated unread emails numbered in folders. Or bring that back. I HATE THIS NEW VERSION it's going backwards NOT forwards candidly.
