  2. Issue moving folders that have emails in them

    It is a major drawback that you cannot move folders that have emails in them. There are literally endless scenarios where people would need to do this but here is mine. I have a Travel folder. I create subfolders for each trip I am going on and sore emails related to that trip in the subfolder. Once the trip is over I typically want to keep the emails for reference but do not want to have the folder taking up space in the list of future trips so I used to then move the subfolder into an Archive subfolder (using…

  4. Please read our suggestion.

    Dear sir / Madam

    Today I am logged in my yahoo mail account and surprise, my all previous email (Sent & Received) all are missing (Not showing in any folders). I have a some issue in past 14 months, so that I could not be able to check my emails.

    If this is a mistake then please forgive once, this wont happen again. Please retrieve all my mails in my inbox folder ASAP.

    At least give one chance to customer (user) for retrieve there email data. This will strengthen Yahoo's relationship with its users.

    Hoping your team understand the pain…

  5. Delete doesn't work

    I go to select delete all emails from a folder. On the web browser it shows them deleted but in the app it still shows them there.

    Which is correct? This is important for your new mail storage limit. Please fix ASAP

  6. Cannot empty trash

    I used all of my storage and ran out of space. I cleared out my email and have a large number to delete from my trash. I have tried four times to delete the trash and it appears to work, but the emails remain. I don't want to lose my yahoo email. How can you improve this process?

  8. folder expansion/contraction idea

    Dragging Emails to Folders and Sub-folders. It would be a nice enhancement to require hovering over a folder before the sub-folders underneath it are expanded. Since expansion is more or less immediate, it just requires another action on my part to contract those to make for a "clean" non-expanded folder list. Also, hovering over a folder with sub-folders before it's expanded would alleviate "accidental/unintended" expansion while moving your cursor around and briefly selecting a folder of non-interest.

  9. moving emails

    Bring back the old yahoo mail. Can't move emails to folders. Don't like the emails being highlighted dark grey. A complete failure.

  13. Spam and Trash folders

    I mostly like the new design. But I would like to add the Spam and Trash folders back to the main list. Is there a way to do that? The new design made it hard to find them and there is no trashcan icon for deletions.

  15. We need to know the sizes of the folders -- understand how much space we have

    Seeing a message that your mailbox is out of space and not knowing where the space is used is manipulative. I should not be out of space after deleting a great deal of items, yet it still shows as out of space.

  17. Delete

    This is not new. I received a notice that I must delete mail in order to keep my account active. It does not tell me how much email to delete. I started tonight and deleted over 4,300 emails. I am now trying to delete from the Trash Can and it is only allowing me to delete 100 at a time. I keep selecting delete all, but that does not work. I am getting frustrated.

  18. folders in left panel disappeared - how do I get it back?

    My folders -- all of them listed alphabetically scrolling from top to bottom, and subfolders immediately under the main folders -- used to appear in a panel on the left side, next to my list of messages (Inbox or whichever folder I had clicked on). Now the stuff on that panel has all disappeared.
    How do I get it back?
    This disappearance is one of several annoying glitches I've experienced on new Yahoo Mail recently.
