  1. folder name

    I create folders in yahoo by starting there name with a numeric number . After 99 number , when i am making a new folder starting with "100" , than ideally , it should come after folder no. "99". But in Yahoo mail, this folder is coming after "10". Yahoo needs to modify their folder logic. Kindly do it fast.....

  3. spam

    I'm not being notified when there is spam in the spam folder. Since there are often legitimate emails that for some reason go into the spam folder, I like to check these out. When I'm not notified of something in the spam folder, I miss legit emails.

  6. Trashcan Icon on folders

    With the old Yahoo Mail the trashcan icon that appeared when hovering over the Trash and Spam folders would allow you to delete the respective folder's contents without opening said folder. With the new Yahoo Mail design the folder now opens and bombards me with horrible ads. Please allow the contents of these folders to be emptied without the folder opening as before.

  7. When I do a seach for an email, I cannot see what folder it is in anymore.

    I cannot see which folder an email is when I do a search for it. When I complete an order, I move all the emails pertaining to that order in a shipped folder. I can no longer see all of them in a search.

  9. I move mail to a folder, it disappears

    This is a folder where I know I have stored items. I just moved an item there, and then it won't open. Yahoo, you really suck. I may be forced to move to Gmail, I would be there already if it weren't so difficult. Continue to motivate me, I will learn.

  11. Add to option to move a subfolder to a different subfolder. (like to old format)

    In the old format there used to be an option to "move" subfolder to another folder or subfolder. I would like to have that back in the new format.

  12. Really enjoyed the 2nd confirmation needed before moving email to a folder. Now it instantly moves & possibly to wrong folder.

    Really enjoyed the 2nd confirmation needed before moving email to a folder in the latest update.
    But now my yahoo email has reverted to where email instantly moves, and as has happened before, accidentally to wrong folder.

  13. Increase Folder name 14 symbols length limit

    For some reason there is a 14 symbols limit on folder name when creating or renaming.
    I have a lot existing folders with longer name.
    Please remove limit.
    It is really frustrating as I can't create for example simple "Spain YYYY-MM-DD", what about another destination with longer name?

  15. find folder

    When I try to move an email from the inbox to a folder using the Move Email icon and then "Find a folder" search, I try to search for a folder with 'V3' in the name. The email is moved to the folder that corresponds to 3rd folder in the list (those number 0-9). It does not filter the **** to show those folders matching the pattern. This started happening just in the last few days. It used to work fine.

  16. size of email folders & individual emails

    Will yahoo ever listen to us and put the folder size on the folder list, adjacent to the folder name...!!!!?????
    Will this ever happen again!!???
    We used to be able to see that in order to cull our emails, now, WE HAVE TO GO INTO EACH folder to find large emails to delete.
    This is something likely the marketing dept of yahoo suggested - removing the size indicators so that we just keep storing large files and eventually have to pay for a larger storage plan since it is not convenient (or easy) for us to find large emails/attachments to…

  18. searching for folders

    Can no longer search for folders or sub-folders numerically in which to move a message. I used to be able to do this when you first converted me to this new version. If I even put in one digit, it moves the message to another file folder automatically and I have to un-do it immediately or the message is lost.

  19. Yahoo misfiling emails

    Yahoo misfiling emailsj! I use numbers in the names of a lot of my folders (like emails for specific account numbers that I pay). I used to could in 3 or 4 digits move bills, payments, etc. to those accounts. Now, one number and Yahoo files the email in any folder it wants to. I don't know how many emails I had to look for because they were filed however Yahoo wanted them filed before I figured out what was happening. It didn't used to do this! Please un-break this!

  20. Missing Features - SPAM

    Please replace removed features from old email to new in the SPAM folder. Features in the SPAM folder, reply, forward, view raw message and mail indicator need to be added. Recently I have reduced/stopped spam mail by forwarding to FTC and appropriate domains ie... amazon, bank, usps etc...

    I was getting 20 plus email daily from an amazon affiliate that has since stopped by my forwarding the email/raw email to the appropriate abuse domain. Now to do this I have to put the email in my inbox to copy/paste raw messages and forward unsolicited email for review.
