  1. I have a lot of sub-folders in my folders. WHY can't I hide them when I'm moving emails to a folder? They all appear EVERY SINGLE TIME.

    Why not allow us to hide those sub-folders until we need them? Seems like the system is set up for that... but it's not allowed. SO annoying for those of us who use Yahoo mail for small businesses.

  3. I loathe the new email page. #1-I cannot customize my folders, ex: I can see 4 more when moving emails. BIG flaw. #2-Ad is bold like email

    The classic mail showed me my top 11 folders for moving emails. This new one only shows me 7 and I hate that. I do not like to scroll which is why I have folders in the first place

  5. Folder sidebar size

    The folder sidebar should be adjustable, I can't see the folder names sometimes and want it to be bigger.

  6. Your filters are terrible. This discussion board is terrible. I'm suggesting usability testing.

    Maybe instead of an idea board reach out to your users and have them show you their pain points. You are lacking so much basic email functionality it is absurd.

  7. folders spaced too far apart, even in compact view.

    Folders too far apart - like double spaced on a typewriter/terminal.
    At least create an option where we can scrunch them closer together to see our folders. I asked for this years ago when you first started telling me I was going to be forced to move to the new email. Now that you have actually forced me and I have seen many complaints about this - why have you not fixed it?

  9. All email downloaded. Switching computers and want to avoid redownloading. Need to archive all from inbox, but can only do 100 at a time.

    I have years of emails in my inbox and don't want to redownload them all to my new computer. Trying to archive them all, but it only lets me do 100 at a time, which is painfully slow.

  10. Trash only going back one week

    Only one week until your trash folder deletes all of your mail? This is ridiculous. I can go back months on outlook or gmail to find deleted emails I need. Please change or I might as well get rid of this email address finally.

  11. Remove views from left panel sick of it getting in the way

    Stop adding pointless features that just make everything harder or more fussy, just want a simple email program, like it used to be

  12. Ask for confirmation after clicking Spam button

    I should be asked for confirmation before clicking the Spam button. It's right next to the Delete button and easy to hit accidentally. And then I have to go through a process to UN-spam the e-mail and even after doing so, the e-mail from that sender will often continue to get marked as spam long afterwards and requires UN-marking it as Spam repeatedly to get this to stop.

  14. Hotkey - method to organize emails into folders without using mouse at all

    In previous versions of Yahoo webmail, and in all major competitor webmail products, it is possible to organize emails (into a folder, say) without using the mouse at all.

    In Yahoo Mail, it used to be as follows:
    step #1. select email with arrow keys

    2. press "d"

    3. either search and then use arrows to select destination folder or just use arrows (without searching) to select folder for the email

    This function (starting at step #3) no longer works in the recent version of Yahoo Mail (and this was confirmed with a Yahoo Support team member).

    Please restore this…

  15. All should be more than 75

    The message selection of All should be more than 75, so that if we want to delete or move them, we do not have to go down to manually verify or extend the selection to be sure that all ones desired have been selected.

  16. Show me where my emails are stored instead of showing YAHOO next to it

    In the last version that you cut us from without warning thank you very much, we could see at the end of each line on the right hand side in which folder the email was. Inbox if it had not be stored, or the name of a specific where it had been stored....now it only shows YAHOO...as if I did not know that my email is on YAHOO when I check my emails on may yahoo mail box. This is stupid information to show!! Now in order to know if my email has really been moved to the correct folder,…

  17. Sent Mails do not go to the desired folder in one click. Every time refresh of Sent Folder is required. It is irritating.

  18. missing folders

    MISSING FOLDERS!!!

    Custom created folders disappear when navigating to email account folders. This issue has been prevalent since you forced the NEW email out. You are now taking away the old email, and have not yet fixed the bugs introduced in the latest release. Please address this issue, as it is very annoying and time consuming to have to log out and back in to access the custom folders. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

  19. Folders only showing sender

    When I move an email from my sent box to a folder, the name of the recipient changes from the recipient name to "me." I cannot continue to have a whole list of emails showing as the recipient name being "me" instead of the true recipient.
